diid & eternal present:

take a picture, it’ll last longer.

Showcasing 10 total pieces including 4 fully on-chain works, 3 cross-chain open editions, 2 pen and paper works, and a modified instant photograph, this excerpt from diid's "Fragmented Memories" collection asks you to look back on your life and reflect on what you've lost.

So sit back, relax, and take in the snapshots from a highly compressed past.

it happened in passing

we don't mean to forget the important memories.
we want to stay there forever, soak it in.
but sometimes, the most impactful moments of our lives
just happen in passing.

a moment in time

you know that's all there is to life, right?

the hours, the minutes, the seconds even.
but it's all just moment by moment.
a moment in time.

faqs

  • diid is an artist with an intense focus on the boundaries between the analog and digital. His signature dithered style, coined “compressionism”, blends perceptual color theory with nostalgic wonder. He can often be found putting works fully on-chain or building tools for others to do the same.

  • fragmented memories is an ongoing series of triptychs with one robot-drawn physical, one fully on-chain (ethereum mainnet), and an original digcam jpeg minted as a cross-chain edition or 1/1.

    it pays ode to the digicam era of photography, where cameras were plentiful but noone yet had the watchful eyes of social media.

  • eternal is a group of bespoke fully on-chain artists doing their best to spread the pros of on-chain art to the masses. While they started off as a Foundation world, they are slowly branching off into more platforms and disciplines.

  • cada is the center for advancement of digital art. right now, it isn’t much, but diid hopes to build it out over the coming months to be a place where artists can discover, learn, and try new things.
