No active listing

If you are an O B S C V R V M holder, you can order your unique physical print over Artfora website for additional fee. Sync your wallet to prove the ownership of the corresponding token and follow the instructions for ordering. You can always pick up a token from the secondary market, but make sure the print for it is not redeemed already (check availability chart below or directly on Artfora). Each token can be redeemed only once for a unique, hand signed archival digital inkjet print accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Printed artwork and the token have the same source but separate provenances. Once the print is produced and shipped, their paths diverge, meaning the printed artwork can be kept or resold separately from the token.

Production process

O B S C V R V M is an animated digital work, while the printed artwork is a single static frame chosen by the artist from the animated cycle. The frame is exported directly from the generator in high resolution and post-processed with a black and white diffusion dither pattern to give it a distinct look on paper. It is hand signed by a pencil on the face. Both the paper, the ink as well as the method of signing meet the museum archival standards.

Each physical print (left) is exported directly from the digital artwork and post-processed with diffusion dither pattern which uses only pure black and white tones (digital image on the right)

Each print is printed on Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 with pigment-based ink on archival paper (left), then rolled with glassine paper inside a PP wrapping and a sturdy triangle cardboard tube for shipping (right)
