Zima #100 — Reboot ?:Keys

2024 · Ethereum · ERC-721

Concept

Zima is a collection of code poems — poems written in JavaScript that run live inside the NFT — each paired with a metallic talisman rendered in 3D.

"Zima" references Zima Blue from Love, Death + Robots: a search for essential nature, stripped back to core truth.

This Token

Token #100 contains a poem titled Reboot ? — a nuclear apocalypse countdown playing out in a browser console. Sixty seconds of escalating emergency alerts. "White House and major cities under attack." Radiation warnings. Then: "Transmission terminated." Then: "Creating new world instance."

Talisman: an ornate set of three antique keys on a ring. Hence: :Keys.

Artist's Context

"Watching Monsters on Netflix"
— Nahiko, at time of writing
