THE RISE & THE FALL

xxx >>> https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0xe50eb1fdd2843ecd059d253ec9b9cd6e331d3ba0/1 <<< xxx

Dynamic blockchain-art edition. The artwork alternates dynamically between two animated .gif(s), triggered reactively by tracking the The Rise and Fall of ETHERIUM.

A new, liminal SisyphusΞ, one who has escaped the eternal sentence of The Gods and found a way into his own world; by casting down the accursed, prescribed rock and taking the Moon instead into his hands and rolling on…

*SILKSCREEN EDITION*
Rise & Fall holders may choose to burn their cryptoart in return for both rise + fall artworks as silkscreen prints on Somerset black 280gsm cotton rag, finished by KARBORN with individual gouache colour-bars and guilded gold-leaf moon phases. Signed and titled by KARBORN.
It’s yours. BURN HERE >https://ermis.enosys.global/
(please note: for burns use ONLY metamask on a desktop computer.)

Each silkscreen edition is unique, with differing colour-bars and moon phases - in order to reflect the various frames in the animated gif.

The Observer Phenomenon

https://superrare.com/artwork-v2/the-observer-phenomenon-38402

'It was the secrets of heaven and earth that I desired to learn; and whether it was the outward substance of things or the inner spirit of nature and the mysterious soul of humankind that occupied me, still my inquiries were directed at the metaphysical, or in its highest sense, the physical secrets of the world.'
– Mary Shelley, Frankenstein.

It’s Full of Stars

re-interpretation of Schinkels 1847 artwork-illustration ‘the magic flute’ / "Königin der Nacht". reworked masterfully from original hand-painted plates - scanned at very high resolution.

The idea flew right out of my mind in an instant - projected the 0.000010561 of a mile to my eyes and a farther 0.000022990 of a mile to the tip of my nose...

It then soared up and out 30,444 miles - right to the very edge of the Earth's stratosphere...

At the speed of thought, it travelled 9,639,563,280 miles beyond the Earth's stratosphere and past Pluto, to the outer-limits of our solar system...

A farther 5,584,694,104,524,427,000 and then out into deep space before exiting at the edge of our galaxy; The Milky Way...

Burning very brightly now and white-hot it arrives 273,349,241,357,280,005,062,656 miles beyond the edge of our galaxy and at the far edge of the known Universe - where it finally settles...

It is here that a thought may remain indefinitely, glowing as brightly as a star and waiting for others to join it, all glimmering together at the very edge of the Universe.
