“Cryptographic Power” is a manifestation of my own personal need to express new forms of interactive storytelling. Hidden messages are embedded within her, only viewable in augmented reality. As a NATIVE Austinite, I’ve placed this figure glyph at a special location in Austin, Texas. Using the “wallet to world” technology on the site the.illust.space, a unique GPS location is assigned to this NFT. You can visit her in front of a mural by Chris Rogers. Can you find the mural and the hidden message inside her?

This is one of the first mixed reality NFTs built into a play to earn blockchain game based in Austin. Each NFT acts as a time capsule preserving what otherwise would be lost to future generations. Players can claim POP (proof of presence) tokens as they complete challenges within the game.

A companion NFT of this work can be collection as a 3d animation under the title of "Collision Resistance" found on the Foundation.app marketplace.
