Polished yellow amber artifact containing a 120GB V-NAND SSD, labeled “DRIVE II”. Discovered in 2035, This drive contains the spreadsheet of XYZ values of Edwin Catmull & Fred Parkes 3D hand and a MAGi file depicting a Vase created by Bui Tuong Phong. During the early 2020’s, the Great Clout Wars were initially fought over the earliest example of artistic renderings of astronauts, but these skirmishes were relatively short lived, only lasting a few years before exhausting resources and eventually surrendering to JPG photographs of Betacloth sewing patterns. One decades later (2033), the University of Utah was purchased by 0x4C3P0119AL56C8C4E08C6669A896534BA93E0FUK and the great mining of the Computer Sciences department had begun. With large cryptoflows from newly minted artifacts, the University reopened and focused on the systematic mining and minting of objects/media with any connection to the “Rendering (computer graphics)” Wikipedia.
*Beside the artifact is a 1cm cube to indicate scale and orientation. [ This piece is part of a larger collection of Crypto Artifacts ]
