Inspiration
We approached the weekend in attempting to make an artwork that rebels against this structure in a playful and tongue in cheek way.
Right now you can take money out of your physical wallet and set it alight, thereby erasing the value of it completely. Now in ashes, it can not be used to perpetuate power structures mentioned previously. We asked ourselves “is there a blockchain equivalent of burning your money?”.
What it does
Burn ETH to create art. You send ETH to a burner address and we generate pixels on our canvas. Once the 500x500 pixel canvas is filled, the whole artwork will be displayed.
How I built it
web3 + Python + HTML
Challenges I ran into
web3 + server implementation.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
75 pixels of Art and working with a fun team.
What I learned
web3 is hard to integrate and the entry to smart contracts is still quite high. Art is about creation and pushing the boundaries.
What's next for Burn ETH Burn
More people to burn ETH to create awesome art. To create a separate burner Smart Contract and create more awareness around the artwork for people to participate in. Self destruct smart contract function for the artwork.
