smartbags

2022
With dievardump. Ethereum smart contract reading another contract's deployed code and assembling an SVG from it, bags hand-painted in SVG code Variable dimensions Released by the artists, May 2022 Ethereum 0xe4a8…b256 NM22CD007 Collection of 925 unique works

On 16 January 2022 dievardump and I were talking about Anatomy of Love, and out of nowhere dievardump said: "dude, this technique could be used so that people can mint their favorite contracts! like cryptopunks or cryptokitties". So each Smartbag holds, behind its glossy plastic, the compiled code of a well-known contract. People who collect Smartbags are collecting smart contracts. Most onchain art looks simple because of size limits. We wanted realistic plastic, so the bags are painted by hand, in code, and their textures pressed into very little space.
