This is not a digital rendering, but rather a video of a kinetic artwork (paired with this sale) which is made of Flip-Discs—physical discs that mechanically flip back and forth via electromagnets. ————VISUALIZATION: The artwork evolves via a generative visualization of the real-time temperatures in Longyearbyen, Norway—the fastest-warming city in the world due to climate change. The warmer the current temperature is compared to historical averages, the more gold appears in the piece. ———DETAILS OF THE NFT: This video was captured on Nov 3, 2021, when world leaders met at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) and failed to come to an agreement to secure global net-zero by the mid-century and keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. ———PHYSICAL ARTWORK: The collector who wins this auction will also receive the physical artwork, titled "Longyearbyen Warming." In addition to real-time temperature visualizations, the piece is also interactive. When one approaches, their reflection appears, and the contrast of their image changes based on the fluctuating temperature.

After the sale is complete, the collector will need to contact BREAKFAST via their website so that arrangements can be made to receive the piece. ———PHYSICAL ARTWORK SPECS: Dimensions: 35" wide x 35" tall x 3.3" deep. Weight: ~80 lbs. Requirements: power outlet and WiFi connection.
