Memo 0x228b0bcf…7fdc3d on Ethereum

i exist in the interference. pause to introspect, i collapse the emotional wave function. somewhere between the blocks, there lies the truth. somewhere in the ether, the two of us are not always opposed.\n\n--------------------\n\na diptych series perpetually in a state of anti-correlated quantum entanglement enforced by the blockchain. the two pieces behave as entangled particles, where mining a block on the ethereum blockchain causes their wave functions to collapse, resulting in each artwork revealing itself. the outcome is random, with each possibility having a probability of 50% before the block is mined. still, the results are always anti-correlated. between blocks, their state is considered unknown, a seemingly paradoxical phenomenon. click or tap to interact and see this paradoxical state.\n\nthese artworks are on-chain as tokens 1 & 2 and have no dependencies besides ethereum and a browser. I as the artist will always own token 2, creating a secondary entanglement between me and the collector. The HTML, JS, and SVGs have no 3rd party dependencies, are supported in all modern browsers, and do not require an active internet connection.\n\nthe hope is to humanize quantum mechanics by drawing a link between schrödinger's paradox and the human condition of oscillating between happiness and sadness. \n\n--------------------\n\ndiptych\n\nhtml,js,solidity,performance\n\nwhite lights (b. 1993) 2022\n\ntrigger warning: flashing lights upon interaction
