AllSeeingSkye is an abstract art project created by two best friends, Skye and Jaye. The artwork is inspired by the natural beauty of the universe, weirdness, and the created human experience. Uncanny valley, abstract, and surreal media is our favorite to play with, along with fractals, patterns, and emblems. All of our media is minted as a non-fungible token (NFT) on the Algorand Blockchain Network.
Why NFT:
An artwork turned NFT means that it is immutable. It also means that the metadata (the descriptive data that makes up the artwork) cannot be copied or replicated. Each NFT upon creation is given a unique identification number and it's data (metadata) is stored within. The information about the NFT is then stored as a block on the blockchain, which in itself is immutable. With each NFT having it's own asset ID number, it means that fakes can be easily identified as their ID number will not match the ID number of our art.
Creation of the Art:
The art is created using multiple mediums of art form. Examples of techniques used in the artwork:
Generative code and software
Artificial intelligence
Experimental GIMP/Adobe editing
Drawings, paintings, and other analog methods
After the art is created, it is then minted as an NFT on the Algorand network.
Things to Know About the Art:
There are over 1000 NFTS and more counting since this site has last been updated. Some of the art is in a collection, like Iterative Infinity. Some of the art is on it's own, (any art created from wallet address QPQAARSU64ZUW33J227PJS74GWTMBKJEUU34IL5MBE3542WA7QAHBEW4B4. The art spans between several galleries that service Algorand NFTS, such as Algogems, Rand Gallery, Dartroom, and ALGOxNFT.
About Skye & Jaye:
Skye and Jaye are the two artists behind the project. They are best friends in real life and regularly share content and ideas with each other. Skye specializes in abstract art and Jaye likes to create technical art, however, both artists love making art across all genres. The AllSeeingSkye project started as a passion project to share Skye's art, but shortly became a collaborative effort to share both friends' art as an NFT.
Project Goal:
AllSeeingSkye strives to build art projects that are both thought provoking and interesting to look at. The art seeks to induce emotion, be thought provoking, and subjectively beautiful. We explore many themes in our art.
From the onset, the purpose and mission has been to create art accessible to everyone on the Algorand Blockchain. The project aims to keep lower NFT prices so that if someone wants to own a piece of art from this project, they can. Often times items are sold at auction in order to maintain a "name your own price" approach.
AllSeeingSkye also attempts at being a transparent art project. The project claims no function or utility for most of the artwork other than providing it in NFT form and transferring certain ownership rights to the owner of the NFT. Any artwork owned is also eligible for free remixing.
Why Algorand?
Algorand was selected by AllSeeingSkye because of it's decentralized nature, instant finality, near-zero transaction fees, scalability, immutability, and ease of use for creators and other users, making it the most viable option for NFTs . The Algorand blockchain was the first to solve the crypto trilemma, a problem that applied to every cryptocurrency before Algorand. Algorand was founded by Silvio Micali, a Turing Award winner and professor at MIT.
Skye Coin (Asset ID: 1118904346) is an Algorand Standard Asset (ASA) that aims to be a functional monetary reward and trading system. It, as well, acts as a social experiment into traders' habits. It was created as a proof-of-concept using Algodesk, an application for creating ASAs in minutes. Creating the coin proves that anyone can easily make a coin on Algorand.
Distribution:
In order to battle FUD, Skye Coin was 100% fully distributed from day 1, with the initial LP tokens locked in a vault on Vestige until January 1st, 2024. The initial supply is 1,000,000 $SKYE. Distribution for the coin was done via airdrops to qualifying Algorand users on Twitter. After the tweet distribution, users in the Discord chat room were rained upon with the remaining coins.
AllSeeingSkye.algo held no $SKYE when the airdrops were finished, meaning the creators did not have a stash hidden away and that they have to buy back whatever $SKYE they need pooled in the future. The project created $SKYE, but its success (or not) is in the hands of the community. Injected greed was not a goal of the AllSeeingSkye project or $SKYE coin. None of the creators need advocate for anyone to buy $SKYE, as it's value does not directly affect the AllSeeingSkye project.
The functionality of $SKYE is to reward holders of art or at least 100 coins with possible prizes and special access to VIP Discord rooms. The coin was given monetary value so that holders could reap real reward, not just hold on to a raffle ticket. The coin was also given value to see how the community would react.
Rewards:
Each Iterative Infinity = 2 $SKYE / Day Airdrop
