Antimatter

A fully on-chain, hand-typed generative art project that explores the abstract concept of antimatter through visual chaos, forever etched on the Bitcoin blockchain as Ordinals.

Antimatter features a large array of vibrating squares and circles that pulse in an imperfect synchronicity. The effect is both calming and dizzying, as the viewer is drawn into a hypnotic world of rhythm and movement.

These 5 curated pieces were broadcasted in haste in the final hour of the first 10,000 Ordinal inscriptions.

The transactions were sent with only 25 sats/vB but since the size of the art on each Antimatter Ordinal was around 2kb, Bitcoin miners included them before thousands of larger pending inscriptions albeit their higher fees.

Satoshi Nakamoto mined the first ever Bitcoin block, the genesis block, on January 3rd, 2009, with a message referencing the financial crisis: The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks. It remains a symbol of Bitcoin's origins and decentralized values. Serving as a literal algorithmic input behind Antimatter, the hash of the genesis block is one of the two inputs of the main function generating all 5 pieces.

Below are the 5 pieces in the Antimatter collection as well as their collectors. The most recent sale of an Antimatter piece was #4 — Plasma Square. More info on this recent sale can be found here.
