Digital Native Art [Replica]

digital-native-art

Code is executable literature. Blockchain creates a completely new digital world where code exists and continues to run. We can create digital-native entities that exist only in this environment. "Digital Native Art" is a smart contract designed with a resource-oriented approach to generate such entities. Anyone can interact with this code and create and destroy things called "art" in the digital world. Please try tapping the button displayed on the tablet. After a few seconds, the state of the digital world will change. While everyone can create art, this artwork also demonstrates the fragility of the connection between the physical and digital worlds by making it difficult to prove who the operator is. The stainless steel plate bears the code of this smart contract. The adjacent monitor displays the real-time duration of the code's execution in the digital world and the number of artworks created or destroyed as a result. The stainless steel plate and the monitor serve as physical replicas of “Digital Native Art”. How many years will the stainless steel plate last? How many years have passed since the code was engraved? How many people have been influenced by it? Please experience the differences between the nature of the digital and physical worlds.
