<aside> 👁️🗨️ The Digital Archive: Genesis collection is a curation of 90 scanned images that were initially retrieved from storage in 2010 and scanned with the help of Lawrence’s friend, ten years before the rest of the archive would be brought forth as The Digital Archive. The genesis collection features these scans specifically, with the first 60 images released in November 2021 and selling out in just three hours. For more information, please refer to Technical Information.

The genesis collection smart contract concept was created by zuko.eth and lightbender.eth to include a digital film strip displayed with the image, a graphical representation of the original film. This digital film strip consists of a roll code which acts as a unique identifier, allowing genesis collectors to adjust the display of their images by toggling it on or off, or by rotating their image.

<aside> 👁️🗨️ After releasing 90 works, we lost touch with our smart contractor and thus had to move forward on a Manifold smart contract. The Genesis collection will only ever feature these initial 90 images, though they can be migrated to the full archive. Genesis collectors, whether their image is migrated to the new contract or not, will hold Genesis utility. More information to come. Every other original scanned work by Lawrence Horn will be hosted on The Digital Archive. Please see below for a timeline of significant events as well as a roadmap for moving forward.
