A series of 121 participatory melting NFT portraits capturing humanity’s collective disappearance from the real world and migration into the digital. It transforms your image into a unique NFT that documents the moment you began your migration into the world of crypto.

Each melting portrait is “hand made” using a real time visual processing software called TouchDesigner and is generated when you submit an image of yourself. This is then gifted back to you in the form of a NFT airdropped straight to your wallet. What you will be left with is a digital identity that you own and what remains with me is a trace of the migration path that I will print and store in the real world in the 'Archive of Future Humans'.

Once 121 NFTs are created, submissions will be closed, bringing an end to phase 1 of this project.
