TAN-TAN: Art, Ordinals, and the Fabric of Reality
Orange Cube proudly presents Reality is Broken and Reality.exe by the multi-disciplinary artist TAN-TAN. These groundbreaking works are released using Bitcoin Ordinals, a novel method of secure data storage on Bitcoin, providing both immutable provenance and verifiable ownership. Each ordinal is inscribed on a satoshi, the smallest unit of Bitcoin.
TAN-TAN's twin drops are closely related:
- Reality.exe: A cohesive body of work composed of 1000 editions.
- Reality is Broken: Will be released as 15 editions.
Both pieces utilize cyberspace aesthetics to create intimate, immersive experiences which blend the virtual and physical, the external and internal.
