Dynamically generative NFTs, the REPRINTS (2023) come out of the Blueprints series and play directly on chain with the idea of the infinite library as analogous with blockchain technologies. Alice created a large library of literature that relates to the histories of blockchain, anonymity, privacy, hacking culture and libertarianism, before using this as an archive and data source through which to pull new text in endless configurations. The ASCII encoding gives compositional form, where the positive and negative layers overlap, encrypt and when aligned form new meanings and speculative words. The result are endlessly and infinitely changing artworks in both form and content, as the words continually change forever, tied to the creation of new blocks on the blockchain. The NFT calls the block height of Ethereum and updates itself every 3 or 12 blocks, tying the very essence and experience of the work with the blockchain as the world’s first truly decentralised library.
