Wiiides

"10,000 unique collectible characters..." ... that get wiiidddeee with each transfer.

Wiiides is a generative artwork and on chain smart contract parasite, wrapped in a conceptual artwork, wrapped in a joke meme, and deep-fried in the web3 ideologies.

Wiiides is a fully on chain artwork, meaning all data and artwork are stored on the Ethereum blockchain. Wiiides consumes data directly from the on chain CryptoPunks, and programmatically edits the data to make each image grow wider and wider, based on the growth rate of each Wiiide and the number of transfers. Wiiides has no affiliation with Larva Labs or Yuga Labs.

"The medium is the message" it influences how the message is perceived and what it becomes. NFTs exist in a medium of immutability, finance, and computation. Wiiides pays homage to the iconic profile NFT, destroying something meant to be immutable, by embracing the medium of economic transactions.

Wiiides was developed by Sterling Crispin as part of NotAudited.xyz, a collection of experimental smart contracts that push the edge of what you might expect, either through technical execution, or simply through absurdity.

10% of the proceeds from Wiiides will be donated to charities focused on helping survivors of domestic violence, via Endaoment.

Eventually Wiiides will become so wiiide that they will undergo a transformative shift towards a deeper, more contemplative emotive experience. It is this exploration of emotions that gives the Wiiides their profound poignancy and dark beauty.

“Just as the hues of a sunset prompt feelings of elation mingled with sadness or unease as the dark shapes of our night close in,... colours stir mixed feelings of joy, gloom, anxiety or peace. Though the forms in the image seem simple at first glance, they are in fact subtly complex. Edges fade in and out like memories; horizontal bands of ‘cheerful’ brightness have ‘ominous’ overtones of dark colours.” - Dorothy Seiberling

Frequently asked questions:


Is this an official Yuga Labs or Larva Labs project?
   No.


Were you involved with Crypto Phunks?
   No.


Why do Wiiides get wider with every transaction?
   Why does the crow caaaw? Why does the wolf hooowl? Because they must.


Are you concerned about upsetting the CryptoPunks community?
   Frankly, yes. If you’re a Wiiides holder, please do not antagonize the punks. This project is meant to be a dumb joke taken too far, to the point that everything is transformed into abstraction. I’m destroying the source material in homage to Alvin Lucier, and no disrespect to the punks is intended. Wiiides aren’t meant to replace, compete with, or usurp the punks. Wiiides are meant to be light hearted, fun, abstract, and absurd. Have fun and be nice.


I'm a CryptoPunk holder, I think you're dumb and this project sucks. I want my punk removed.
   That's not a question, but contact me and let's figure something out.


Roadmap

About

Wiiides is inspired in part by Alvin Lucier and his 1969 work titled I am Sitting in a Room. The artwork is a recording of his voice played back in a room, re-recorded, and played back repeatedly, until nothing remained but distortion.Through transactions on the Ethereum blockchain, Wiiides will stretch and become distorted until just a few horizontal lines of color remain. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of economic activity or transactions on a blockchain, but more as a way to smooth out any traits these NFTs may have.

Wiiides can be understood in a copypasta Post-Modern Waluigi-analysis, in which Wiiides are the ultimate example of a collection shaped by the signifier. Wiiides as a collection can only be seen in mirror images; lost in a hall of mirrors they are a reflection of a reflection of a reflection. You start with CryptoPunks, the wholesome iconic punks, you reflect them to create On-chain CryptoPunks, the same thing but the data is on chain. You invert CryptoPunks to create CryptoPhunks, punks turned septic and libertarian, then you reflect the inversion in the reflection: you create a collection who can only exist in reference to others. Wiiides is the true nowhere collection, without the other collections they reflect, invert and parody they have no reason to exist. Wiiides identity only comes from what and who they are not, without a wider frame of reference they are nothing. Wiiides is not a collection unto itself. In a world where our identities are shaped by our warped relationships to brands and commerce we are all wiiide.
