In Neal Stephensonโs 1995 sci-fi novel โThe Diamond Ageโ, Stephenson describes the futuristic concept of a blank piece of a paper generating animated colors, logos, and music as it is unfolds (7): โAs Bud took it from the bankerโs hand, the blank page generated a nice animated color logo and music. The logo developed into a peacock. Beneath it, a video presentation commencedโฆ โ.
The printed version (2018) attempted to create animated paper by using the phone, QR code & web as the link between the โrealโ and the โvirtualโ.
The NFT version is an experiment in minting across blockchains & platforms. When scanned, the QR code opens an IPFS link of the interactive NFT at https://hicetnunc.xyz/objkt/178319 (ed. of 5). The work would depend on the responsibility of various platforms & owners to pin the content in order to keep the work alive in its entirety, raising questions of long-term content persistence and collaborative ownership / responsibility of IPFS pinning. 4950โรโ6150
