Electriz — the 910 editions

At seventeen hundred UTC on 7 December 2021 Electriz went on sale on Art Blocks; the Dutch auction started at three ether, and fifty-five minutes and thirty-eight seconds later all nine hundred and ten editions were minted. Edition zero is the full moon the artist minted himself on 27 November. The number nine hundred and ten comes from the tenth of September: on that day in 2008 the Large Hadron Collider in Europe sent a proton beam around its full ring for the first time. Each edition grows from the hash assigned on chain: its first sixteen digits become a seed, the seed decides the palette, the special type, the division, the emit, the chaos factor, the particle count, the particle size and the start position, and then the particles run, turning, splitting and annihilating in regions of different physics, coming to rest after a thousand frames. The same hash always grows the same picture. This page keeps the nine hundred and ten hashes, the share of the eight traits across the whole, the thirteen palettes, and a capture of each edition re-run with the on-chain script. Collectors’ names and wallet addresses stay on chain, not here.
