As part of a special partnership, Rhizome is posting digital artefacts and original images for collectors on the Zora blockchain. A low-cost layer of Ethereum, Zora is designed more like a social media platform than an art marketplace, where each post is also up for collection. The first series of posts gathered documentation of live performances from our Benefit last May, Rhizome Forever, with GIFs by Sidewalkkilla. Still available to mint are:
- Rhizome Forever Module 01 featuring Laser Days, a real-time rendering, worldbuilding studio co-founded by Jack Wedge and Will Freudenheim. For the rhizome forever party, the duo installed a laser that projected illustrations modulated live with stable diffusion, all running on a trusty, behind-the-curtain touchdesigner setup.
- Rhizome Forever Module 02 featuring Poncili Creación, an experimental puppetry troupe from Puerto Rico that forges new worlds from repurposed materials. At the rhizome forever party, the duo migrated the audience from the main performance space to a carpeted area, where hundreds of people sat amphitheater-style to watch the puppets in action. This module provides a glimpse of that moment.
A percentage of transaction fees on these otherwise free mints goes to support Rhizome and the creators of each post!
