DEVOID
Chapter one of DEVOID - a metaphysical novella, told through a collection of fine art NFTs, about REX: a square that vows to escape its 2D, 24-bit canvas after an unexpected union with a higher-dimensional being, named ‘1’. DEVOID riffs off Edward E. Abbott’s 19th century classic, ‘Flatland’, whilst playing with 24-bit, Atari influenced minimalist fine art that asks, ‘what if Rothko played Commodore?’
During this chapter, we meet REX, the black square - depicted first in piece 004. Content with its life, REX nevertheless wonders what exactly it means to be ‘here’, when its world is literally shaken from its axis as a being from a higher mathematical dimension collides with REX’s 2D ‘Flatland’. For the first time, REX is introduced to an idea called ‘depth’, and once ‘1’ has left, REX is left with an ability to dream in 3D.
DEVOID is both a one-of-a-kind fine art/narrative hybrid, as well as being an indirect prequel to our novel and feature film, PERIVALE.
