- Contract (Polygon / ERC-721): 0x252f9390feb63aeb00042dd5c4ff84af33f42b85
- Root 1 (Arweave / NFT system infrastructure): PCx7dfAg6p2cN8y5FbrZaLuYvS5o7ecyVi821yyLoPg
These two identifiers are sufficient to verify and reconstruct the Oblokos core system without relying on exhibition platforms.
1
Oblokos is a digital sculptural system built through fragmented NFTs. Each token represents a structural and conceptual fragment of a larger system. When fragments are spatially assembled, they form immersive digital sculptures that enable narrative and conceptual exploration.
The ownership model is fragmented:
- Owning some fragments implies partial (structural/conceptual) ownership of a possible assembly.
- Owning all fragments defined for a given assembly implies full ownership of that assembled work.
The project is supported by two layers:
- Polygon (on-chain): proof of ownership.

Oblokos explores the relationship between:
- System errors (failure as artifact, not decoration)
- Digital identity (as a system, not only as a brand)
- Fragmentation (as a structure for authorship and ownership)
- Spatial reconstruction (as a sculptural act)
Across multiple collections, each NFT represents a real computer error code: a symbolic failure event derived from computing systems. These codes do not function as "traits"; they operate as conceptual material translated into visual structure.
3
Oblokos is defined by an internal rule that structures both the documentation and the curatorial discourse:
- A fragment is an NFT (ERC-721) that functions as the minimal unit of the distributed sculpture.
Components are not interpreted only as parts; they are also layers that overlap:
- Architectural
- Energetic
- Ecological
4
Let an assembly (S) be composed of fragments (F1, F2, ..., Fn). Each Fi is an ERC-721 token.
Rules:
- Some fragments -\> partial (structural/conceptual) ownership of the assembly.
- All fragments -\> full ownership of the assembly.
Important:
- Ownership is not defined as "access" or "benefit".
5
- The OBLK contract (ERC-721) lives on Polygon and defines on-chain ownership.
- The system supply is finite (closed cycle, no new emissions).
System decentralization is completed by publishing on Arweave a bundle with a manifest (resolvable structure) anchored at:
- Root 1: PCx7dfAg6p2cN8y5FbrZaLuYvS5o7ecyVi821yyLoPg
Root 1 is infrastructure for the NFT system (it is not an installation nor "the total work"). It contains:
- index.html (viewer)
6
Each token metadata follows a consistent structure, with fields such as:
- id
- name (error / piece identifier)
- description (conceptual/technical explanation)
- image (permanent render)
- external_url (permanent viewer)
7
The system clearly distinguishes:
- Artist account (authorship): identity declared in metadata.
- Technical account (operational authority): exists only for historical maintenance and system closure.
Once migrated to Arweave:
- Infrastructure is considered stable.
- No changes are made that harm holders.
8
This whitepaper defines a crucial point:
An installation is an assembly derived from the system, not the system.
- An assembly consumes a subset of NFTs as sculptural material.
- It can exist in virtual, physical, or hybrid spaces.
- It may depend on platforms (site-specific), but the Oblokos system does not depend on their continuity.
Full decentralization does not require that all 3D experiences live outside platforms; it requires that:
9
When an assembly is commercialized as a work:
- The experience/assembly is sold together with its concept and documentation.
- The sale includes the transfer of the set of NFTs used (structural base and proof of ownership of the assembly).
Exclusivity is defined as:
- Single authorized edition: the artist does not reinstall that configuration for third parties (not even for free).
Clarification:
10
So that the history of editions/assemblies does not depend on platforms, the system includes a permanent mechanism:
Installation Registry Record (IRR) published on Arweave for each authorized/sold assembly, including:
- Title
- Date and context
- Exact list of token IDs used
- Links to documentation (dossier, credits, images/video)
11
Oblokos is assumed as a sovereign artistic identity with three pillars:
1. Institutional domain (oblokos.nft) as a verifiable entry point
2. Root 1 as permanent infrastructure of the NFT system
3. Root 2 as a minimal institutional archive (Artist Site / Archive) published on Arweave and referenced from the domain, containing:
- short manifesto,
- contract + Root 1,
12
Oblokos proposes a structural shift:
- from collectible images -\> to distributed sculpture
- from isolated tokens -\> to layer-based assemblies
- from platform dependence -\> to verifiable permanent infrastructure
- from "failure" as error -\> to failure as sculptural material
Each fragment is a failure event translated into form. Together, the fragments define a system.
