His back is inked with the exterior contour of the grid.
A white page to start the adventure.
The grid has opened, mint early to get the best looking spots.
Using tools on the grid interface, collaborating with the community and pixel-artists, players will join forces to create the perfect Non-Fungible Tattoo.
After a week, or earlier if players decide by consensus to validate the artwork, the grid gets locked.
Silex tattooes the final artwork on Jimmy. Not the easiest part for both of them, but we promise you'll have fun watching :-)
Exhibition in Paris with press coverage. New York exhibition TBA
Silex is a French tattoo artist who's also been a street artist (@silexproject) and a digital designer. He's always been passionate about art, computers, prehistory,... he loves to create new stuff and take part in exciting projects.
Recently he and his team launched the NBAYC NFT collection.
Silex started his carreer in web product design, and around the same time he discovered street-art. He got addicted to tattoos since his first one 10 years ago, a QR code on his arm that links to his website. At that moment he knew he wanted to become a tattooer, and that's what he's been up to for the last few years.
Tattooing has always been present in all regions of the globe, used to identify people, mark their social rank... In the last couple of decades, the internet culture has played a big role in the emergence of new tattoo styles. We wanna bring tattoos into the metaverse and create new kinds of digital experiences.
In the past years we've seen a lot of creative ways of reinventing the tattoo, but it's always been a two-person relationship. We were brainstorming ideas about building community experiences around tattoos, bringing more people into the process. We came up with the simple concept of putting pixels, the base of all digital arts, on someone's back and let people pick their colors. The idea was so exciting that we had to do it!
The game is simple : we're going to tattoo our friend Jimmy's back. It's a grid of 60x80 pixels (30x40 cm) and those pixels can be of 4 different states : no ink, dots, black or red ink. Players with pixels will choose how they'll look. We wanna see how they can collaborate with each other, do great art or just troll and create chaos. It's up to them.
60*80 pixels - 27 pixels that go on top of moles = 4773 pixels in total that players can customize!
What do you call shit? We think all kind of artwork is acceptable if it comes from the community, so even if it "looks like shit"... well we're still going to tattoo it!
With this kind of artistic performance, we wanna bring excitment to people like tattoo artists, street artists, photographers, to join the NFT world because this is a place for all of us.
Of course we're going to do it! Or Jimmy will just have an empty rectangle on his back...
