navigable online landscape, 3d assets re-skinned with cryptocurrency textures, three.js implementation, 2021 ©
There was an old American credit card commercial that went something along these lines: "There are somethings that money can't buy:
Two plane tickets: $2,700
One luxury hotel suite: $1050
Chilled champagne: $600
A second chance at love?: Priceless."
In the midst of an nft-minting gold rush, what does "priceless" even still signify in an age of cryptocurrency driven enthusiasm?
This website presents an navigable online landscape made out of re-skinned cryptocurrency symbols: A dogecoin sun rise over a bitcoin mountain range. An XRP Ripple waterfall cascades into an ethereum ocean. Iota clouds float gently over a field of Monero poppies.
Priceless moments (like epic sunrises and sunsets posted online) are re-skinned with crypto-currency symbols to investigate notions of what is still "priceless."
By turning crypto-currency into something else, can we reinvent non-transactional ways to be online?
You are invited to wander through the golden Bitcoin paths, sit by the Ethereum waves, or even climb to Dogecoin peak to watch the sun rise amongst the Monero poppies.
