  • marquee shelter

    marquee shelter is a project to bury obsolete web technologies in the blockchain. The animation of the work is created using only the marquee tag, which has been deprecated from the HTML standard for creating websites. It has a life span that cannot be controlled, as it can stop moving with browser version upgrades. It is a life-like device on the blockchain, which is expected to be eternal, and evokes thoughts about technology and life.

  • Receipt

    Receipt is a conceptual art using NFT. The visual is determined by the amount you pay. You can pay any amount; you can mint (create) one token per price. All the code to draw is stored on the blockchain. The transaction itself is your participation in the art. The reality of the value of NFT is the exchange of data on the blockchain, which is used by many people who trust it. 0xhaiku believes that the memory of the act itself is the new value of art.

By sending unwanted NFT to the Recycle Bin address, the NFT will be Burned (discarded) and you will get the Recycle Bin's (trash bin) generative art NFT instead. New art will be generated based on the sent NFT. The pain of confronting the past and a prayer for rebirth are expressed.
