Fragmented Memories.

A digicam era collection about the things we forgot but captured regardless A series of 10 cross chain, on-chain, and physical triptychs that will challenge the way you think about the past & invite you to explore the present.

I spent months diving into artistic genres such as dreamcore and analog horror. I’ve always been captivated by these things, but never fully understood why. After lots of exploring, I found my answers.

I don’t have lots of memories of my childhood. The pressure of being a “weird” kid led to long periods of disassociation and derealization. The memories I do have are all of the “in between”, the liminal spaces and landscapes outside of the activities and events. Car rides to my grandparents, the bathroom at church, the way the crt in our unfinished basement sounded, spinning circles of doom and loading bars waiting for hours of downloads of game demos, the arcade I rode my bike to, and the songs I sat and listened to on repeat.

Those years were also captured by an incredibly unique era of photography. One in which inexpensive digital cameras were widely available but social media hadn’t yet forced us to curate our snapshots. The moments captured were moments we thought to capture. A majority of photos were of big events, family, birthdays, and first days of school. A minority taken of the in between. The equation was flipped. As a result, the vast majority of our lives was only captured in poorly composed, poorly exposed, & highly compressed snapshots.

Much like those fragmented memories, each photo will be stored across time and space. The original compressed jpeg stored across multiple blockchains. The dithered photo stored fully on-chain on ETH. And the physicals distributed across the world.

So, I implore you to explore what we forgot all along.
