Because diamonds aren't forever...
Aaliiair provides Digital Fine Art (DFA) such as Non-fungible Tokens (NFT) across multiple Blockchains (Ethereum, Polygon, etc.). Our blockchain expert has experience as an Aerospace Flight Software Engineer. All of our art is accompanied with technical information within the unlockable metadata so that the art can be enjoyed in the manner intended. Some artwork is Distributed (through the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) through FileCoin) and Frozen (Metadata Locked) to ensure the integrity and persistence of the art. Our curated art and current ownership can be tracked from OpenSea. The 'A'ali'i is a beautiful wind-resistant shrub, native to Hawaii. Our name, Aaliiair, references protecting beauty from the passage of time.
The Steganographic Collection
Steganography is the practice of hiding digital information within an image. Each item in the collection contains a hidden message that can be extracted with a custom cipher and password. An open source software tool is required to extract the hidden data (http://steghide.sourceforge.net). For some pieces, the decryption credentials are obvious and intended to be public; for others, the credentials are contained within the unlockable metadata by the owner. To extract hidden content, ensure to first save the total image of the NFT by clicking on the thumbnail to view at full resolution. On Linux, content can be extracted with the command: steghide extract -sf image.jpg.
"freedom" contains a hidden copy of the full text of the United States Constitution within a picture of the American flag (released August 2021, Distributed and Frozen)
"steganographic" contains hidden poetry by our Aerospace Flight Software Engineer (released August 2021, Distributed and Frozen)
