5 editions minted by Hulki Okan Tabak, Sharik 2023 smart contract, 2023

Initial mints of the Sharik 2023 are combinations of my works about unconscious blended with the elements of original Sharik work.

Sharik 2023 is the second part of my Heart of a Dog smart contract from 2022. It is a collection built with the AI where complex multi stage prompts and mashups have been used. I would like to follow it up with various Sharik themed drops on Foundation and mints on different platforms.

Sharik is an experimental homage to the writer Mikhail Bulgaov. In the novella Heart of a Dog, Sharik is the street dog operated on by the Professor. Heart of a Dog has been interpreted both as a satire on Bolshevism and as a criticism of eugenics. One commonly accepted interpretation is that Bulgakov was trying to show all the inconsistencies of the system in which Sharikov, a man with a dog's intelligence, could become an important part. Sharik is seen as "a reincarnation of the repellent proletarian", and the professor represents a "hyperbolic vision of the bourgeois dream", according to J. A. E. Curtis. (wikipedia)
