CANON Genesis Collection Deliverables: External / Internal
Project Objective:
To clearly establish and commemorate some of the most important events in 1Hiveās history through the creation of a collection comprised of 10 different NFTs made up of both pieces of text as well as artworks that represent these through visual metaphors and the use of defined aesthetic guidelines to create powerful content that serves the purpose of providing the community with the blueprint off of which to create a toolset for them and other orgs to be able to curate collections of historical archival art in a decentralized manner.
Primary Deliverables (External):
10 NFTs featuring the 10 most important and earliest historical events in 1Hiveās history, each comprised of the following pieces of content:
1 illustration / animation based on each of the selected points in the timeline that are to be considered genesis artifacts.
1 written article including perspective or depiction of the events by seed(s)ā and / or other people who were involved in the events / research paper behind the subject at hand
(This oneās an idea/suggestion) //1 episode of DAOn To Earth Podcast that feature these events to be NFTād along with both the written article and artworks - These function as both content and marketing material for both the collection itself and the project as a whole as well as for the DAO itself and all the other different projects that the organization may be involved in at the time of release.
Secondary Deliverables (Internal - For delivery within the timeframe this funding proposal considers):
10 final thumbnails / storyboards off of which the final illustrations / animations will be executed.
1st Drafts for each of the 10 articles - to be further revised and edited before final execution just like the previously mentioned thumbnails / storyboards.
Schedule for each of the 10 different DAOn To Earth Podcast episodes featuring interviews covering recaps of these events with the people involved.
Genesis Collection Project Outline - Context
Specifically for the Genesis Collection, what we want to do is delineate 10 events that could be considered crucial within the organizationās history.
Why a static set?
Static sets provide a space for art direction = a more curated, aesthetically aligned collection of pieces, which in this specific case would cover events that were critical in the birth (Genesis) of the DAO and the community around it.
In essence, sets being static could mean there would be a timeline in which people can work on all of the pieces the collection would be comprised of with anticipation, giving time for more researched, thought out, and more complex structure / usability for the NFTs included.
Static sets would probably be best for covering events or a set of points in a timeline which happened long ago and whose story may not be as much subject to change in present time
@Blazingthirdeye suggested dividing collections in Epochs (of 3 months or so) in order to better be able to categorize the different artworks that may keep arising out of the organizationsā activity through time - I like how this idea spawns the concept in my mind of having current epochs be dynamic sets which would change to static ones once the specific timeframe for the epoch finishes.
// I think the Genesis Set should be a static one, because of the fact that these events have already occurred and the perception of these from the people involved is almost frozen in a sense, as it will remain unchanged no matter what happens in >the ānowā.
What happens with more recent events is that the unfolding of these may lead to different ways of perceiving these as time progresses; which is why I think we donāt really want to start canonizing events until some time has passed and these can be considered finished, or dealt with, in a sense.
So far, these are my ideas for the Genesis Collection. All of these can be changed if through discussion the community concludes there would be a better way to go at it. This is not final.
Building on top of these ideas, these would be the pieces the collection would be comprised of (or atleast the structure I propose) - all were taken from the first outline of possible past events to cover made by Luke
On another note; Luke mentioned he wanted to find ways to make the Canon project a functional one even before the actual platform is up and running. Pondering upon that made me think it would be cool if we used some of the HNY of the proposal to make our own marketplace / farm on Unifty. Just throwing that out there to know what the general opinion on it would beā¦
I personally like the idea but am not sure if I want the genesis collection to be the one featured on there since Iām thinking the best way to mint / distribute these would be 1 by 1 through drop events with a specific timeframe for auctions to take place, although Iām not completely sure if there are any platforms on xdai that let you make auctions yetā¦ The reason behind that is, this way we wouldnāt necessarily need to have all 10 NFTs finished to start releasing content, and this way each drop could be marketed on its own as a sort of event that people would look out for.
Thatās it; this is a very long post and for that Iād be grateful w whoever took the time to read this whole thing and lets me know their opinion on the matter
