Institutional
Glitch
Institutional Glitch portrays eight central banks as symbols of a financial regime in transition. The digital disruption reveals the moment when familiar systems begin to lose their stability.
The glitch is a metaphor for the shift from central actors to decentralized structures — an in-between state in which authority, trust, and value are being renegotiated.
The collection
8 unique worksArchitecture / Fully onchain
One artwork.
One file.
Each artwork is built as a sovereign, self-contained HTML document designed to be stored fully onchain. Image data, rendering logic and presentation live inside a single file. There is no CDN, API, external font, JavaScript package or off-chain media dependency that can disappear after minting.
The source image is embedded as a Base64-encoded WebP data URI. At runtime, the browser decodes it into an offscreen canvas and re-encodes the pixels as a quality-1.0 JPEG. That JPEG becomes a Uint8Array; eight bytes between the 10% and 100% offsets of the file are replaced with random values every 16 milliseconds.
Each altered byte array is reconstructed as an in-memory JPEG Blob and decoded concurrently by the browser. The resulting race between valid frames, damaged scan data and the JPEG decoder produces the destructive compression artifacts. Temporary object URLs are revoked immediately after decoding, so the work runs continuously without accumulating external state.
The NFT is therefore not a video, GIF or link to a hosted animation. It is executable media: a compact HTML payload whose image and glitch engine travel together. Once the token HTML is committed to permanent onchain storage, any standards-compliant browser can reconstruct the work directly from that single immutable file.
