In the syrupy glow of sunset, his shadow stretched itself thin and long across the tired old bricks, like some lanky, reluctant confidant. 

It was as much a part of him as his own skin, yet it lived its own silent, separate life, a smudge of darkness in a world too bright for truth. 

This shadow knew all the quiet corners of his soul, the places where joy and sorrow melted together into a sort of gentle, enduring gray. 

It followed him, a loyal echo of each weary step, a silent witness to the absurdity and beauty of simply being. 

As the light faded, the shadow seemed to stand a moment longer, a dark, fleeting monument to the man it had quietly observed, a man whose every breath was a poem written in the secret language of shadows.
 
And then, like everything else, it slipped away into the tender arms of the universe, leaving behind nothing but the faint memory of having been.

My name is Lena Ivanova.

If youre reading this, two things are true. One, Im dead. And two, the blockchain is in peril.

Fearing my imminent death, I have encrypted evidence regarding potential suspects behind a series of puzzles, and then embedded these puzzles inside a painting.

The painting is made up of tiles, which will flip as you mint. NFTs will reveal as PFP characters from the painting. 

If the NFT mint is live, its because my death has auto-triggered a series of events.

Please, unravel the mystery, and find my killer.

Particle

ripcaches neutral from the public//private series explores permanence. It comprises two components: a 2x2 ft black, white, and neon green screen print on a metal panel and a corresponding digital artwork on the Ethereum blockchain. The artwork comments on surveillance and data privacy.

The physical and digital pieces are identical. ripcache has minted the digital artwork and transferred it to a wallet whose private keys only record is behind the physical artwork. To access the digital artwork, one must first purchase the physical piece, maintaining the interconnectedness between the digital and physical artworks. However, a choice arises for the collector. The collector must decide whether to scratch away the physical artwork in the area that contains the Ethereum private key. This scratching irreversibly separates the physical artwork from the digital. Does the value of the artwork lie in the physical or the digital artwork, or both? 

How will that decision change when 64 co-owners get to vote on the outcome?

Alyssa Stevens Editions

Gabe Weis and Alyssa Stevens both describe their creative processes as "stream of consciousness," allowing various emotions and motifs to flow through while connecting to the present moment. Upon meeting at Art Basel 2022, the two artists knew their styles would work perfectly together in a collab. Over a year later, "We are just mirrors" was born, a digital piece passed back and forth between the two artists over the course of a few weeks. A merging of Gabe"s iconic cubist faces and Alyssa"s detailed yet abstract line work brings forth a sense of newness in this open edition.
