U.B. Genesis – Self Portrait Episode #2 

[21.05.14]: Epi2 NFT drops and spots Epi1 over there on block 12385727. A bit of rivalry maybe, and no shortage of attitude, resulting in a couple of new nicknames.

U.B. Genesis – Self Portrait Episode #4

[21.05.28]: We are joined by Kid for the U.B. 1st All NFT Meeting. 

GeeGee hopes to raise the level of art, but consensus is hard to come by.

Kid (the new kid on the blockchain) makes an interesting suggestion, and it looks like Codr will set up a Disco (?) server.

U.B. Genesis – Self Portrait Episode #5

[21.06.04]: Cagey makes his debut, reworking a new music classic by John Cage. GG is not impressed as usual.

Kid gets some schoolin’ on how to tune to sounds til you can hear a block drop, and when we get the sound track to 4+33, GG misses the point, ironic or not. Clearly when it comes to art, it doesn’t take one to know one. Also, looks like Codr got the Disco server done. 


U.B. Genesis – Self Portrait Episode #6

[21.06.11] In Episode #6, we’ve lovingly gathered all of the EVERYWEEKS episodes into one massive collage featuring each and every one of the 5 episodes so far. The sixth square is the essence of all 5 episodes combined. 

@Beeple_crap pioneered “Everydays”, but U.B. has taken it to the next level with EVERYWEEKS. The collage has been further distilled to barest essence in five 3×3 pixel NFTs, each uniquely numbered and available for sale on Opensea.

The first five pixels of the top two rows each represent the essence of each episode and the sixth pixel contains the melded essence of all 5 episodes so far. 

The bottom row of pixels is used to give a unique serial number for each of the 5 NFTs.

If not the smallest NFTs ever made, they are certainly the most densely packed with information for any NFT ever made with less than 10 pixels.

U.B. Genesis – Self Portrait Episode #7

[21.06.18]: Episode #7 finds Codr all alone in the Disco, wondering where the hell everyone else is and why they are not here for the Friday drop.


U.B. Genesis – Self Portrait Episode #8

[21.06.25]: Episode #8 – This week it seems Kid is the one all by himself. Since everyone is over helping out with the Scramble.media launch, he figured it was OK to snarf a bit of swag for the Friday drop.
