Chronophotograph
Chronophotograph is the companion collection to Vol. 2, Series 1 - Noumenon. This series is made in support of LACMA’s Art and Technology Lab, presented in dialogue with the chronophotopgraphic work of Eadweard Muybridge in the LACMA archives. On a time locked schedule, a blockchain transaction can be triggered to metaphorically "capture" an observation of a Noumenon, minting a new token. The blocknumber serves as the seed for a deterministic program to generate an image in the style of Muybridge's chronophotographs (a technique from the Victorian era that captured and analyzed motion through a series of still photographs).
