'For centuries, fluid motion has captivated the imagination of artists, mathematicians and scientists [...] my intent is to work at a fundamental level, designing algorithms to scrawl numbers directly into digital storage media later to be interpreted as sound and images.' —0xDEAFBEEF

0xDEAFBEEF is a Canadian artist, composer and engineer. Over the past twenty years, he has tinkered in numerous fields, including computer animation, sound recording, blacksmithing, and generative art. He brings together all his interests in a bespoke art practice, using low level computer code and a minimal toolset to craft raw information into audiovisual artworks. Recent works adopting blockchain technology as a programmable medium have gained wide acclaim.

Instead of relying on out-of-the-box solutions or third-party production teams, 0xDEAFBEEF personally crafts all of his artistic tools from first principles, using only a C compiler and text editor. This unique methodology leads to pieces that bear his distinctive signature - elegant black- and-white pieces that fuse art and electronic music in singular ways.

The present work Advection is an aesthetic study of fluid motion expressing the beauty and harmony found in the overlap of mathematical and physical concepts in different perceptual modalities. The fluid animation model is based on novel academic research conducted by the artist in 2010, accompanied by the sounds of struck percussion synthesized from physical models sharing common principles. Leveraging the decentralized participatory nature of blockchain, Advection invites users themselves to explore and curate a generative audiovisual model, dynamically changing the sound and appearance of the artwork by adjusting parameters through blockchain transactions. The audiovisual outputs are reconstructed entirely from 100KB of self-contained C code stored on-chain.

What forms of payment are accepted?

You can pay for this NFT Lot in GBP or in Ether. If you wish to pay for this NFT Lot in Ether you must satisfy the Cryptocurrency Conditions set out in our Additional Conditions of Sale applicable to Cryptocurrency Payments.

You acknowledge and agree that the price of Ether can be volatile and subject to upward and downward movements. You acknowledge that the conversion rate between these Accepted Cryptocurrencies and GBP will change during and after the auction until the Lot is paid for. Phillips does not offer cryptocurrency conversion functionality during the auction. Bidders are responsible for making their own currency conversion calculations when bidding in the auction.

How much will I have to pay?

If you are the successful bidder on an NFT Lot, you must pay the total purchase price for the Lot (calculated as described in the Conditions of Sale plus network and other fees required to transfer the NFT to your Digital Wallet Wallet as described in the Additional Conditions of Sale Applicable to NFT Lots).

If you elect to pay for an NFT Lot in Ether and satisfy our Cryptocurrency Conditions (see above), the GBP purchase price as shown on your invoice will be converted automatically into Ether using the Coinbase Commerce rate of exchange at the time the buyer accesses the Coinbase Commerce platform to make payment using the QR code or link we will issue to you.

Are resale royalties payable to the artist on re-sales of the NFT?

If resale royalties are payable to the artist on subsequent resales of the NFT, this will be stipulated in the NFT Lot’s smart contract. Where they exist, re-sale royalties will be a percentage of the re-sale price of the NFT. It is therefore important that you review (or seek professional help to review) and understand the operation of the NFT’s smart contract (including any rights and restrictions contained in the smart contract) before bidding.

Depending on where the NFT Lot is re-sold, additional artist resale royalties and transaction duties may apply to the transaction under applicable law. These would be additional to and not in substitution for any resale royalties imposed by the NFT’s smart contract.
