Proof of Expenditure (4 Saps)

Series of 4 NFTs by Urbanomic and Paul Chaney, created at the Kabin and minted with Foundation.app

An unprecedented opportunity for art lovers to participate in the suppression of the planetary biosphere’s insurgency against the sun by leveraging auratic semiotic production into exponential energy wastage via gratuitously intensive computational work.

Sale of these four unique and authentic NFTs produced by Urbanomic and artist Paul Chaney offset the recent planting of saplings at End of the World Garden(Cornwall, UK), helping combat the carboniferous scourge that has afflicted the planet for millennia, while simultaneously enhancing the value of the EOTWG off-grid plot by ushering in catastrophe.

Enabling of digital scarcity and installation of a virtual absolute global order of property coincide with the thirst for annihilation, terminal expenditure, and the return of Earth to the Solar Economy.

Sapling specimens were photographed and processed into photogrammetrically-derived point clouds, which were hand-pruned and converted into holey meshes using 100% solar power at the Kabin, EOTWG, in April 2021. Rendered at Vaporweave Studios, Penzance.
