Notes on hachure

Some notes on archiving and accessing the media and metadata around digital editions of hachure. These tokens were released through verse but can be retrieved through decentralized storage systems.

See Token Data for a listing of media & data associated with each edition.

Saving High-Res PNG and SVG

In the browser, with the artwork in focus, you can hit the keystroke Cmd + S or Ctrl + S. This will auto-download two files: a 2048x2048px PNG, and an SVG of the paths that could be used for pen plotting. It's recommended to use Chrome for downloading; some browsers might only let one download through.

Saving Animations

This is a bit cumbersome, but if you'd like to generate a per-frame animation of your artwork, you can hit Cmd + Shift + S or Ctrl + Shift + S as soon as the browser opens on the file. You will have to immediately also allow multiple downloads from this domain. This will begin populating your Downloads folder with hundreds of images, to create a frame-by-frame animation (you can close the tab to stop this).

You can then drag and drop all of these frames into a tool, like giftool.surge.sh, to generate a final composite GIF.

Token Data

Here is the token data for each Edition #, including links to the HTML artwork and JSON metadata.

Notes on IPFS

Hachure is hosted via IPFS, a distributed and peer-to-peer file system. Each asset associated with the project has a speicifc hash. The raw IPFS locator for the token metadata looks like this:

ipfs://bafybeiey33aqjntdfgul6r2vuk5ltgzzcxwjor7z56p6236nrkwtnwk6v4

However, the links here will use the ipfs.io/ipfs gateway to make it easier to open in a browser, such as this directory:

https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeiey33aqjntdfgul6r2vuk5ltgzzcxwjor7z56p6236nrkwtnwk6v4

Notes on Archiving

The metadata contains description, name and also a link to the animation_url (which includes a specific media hash). The media files at this animation_url are hosted in a single IPFS directory, and contains HTML, JS and WASM files.

For example, here is the media URL for Edition #25:

https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmZXDKSCJBcuieVYMLdPiYcWn8RU2DH17rkUoJB8SEZAvv?hash=1fc600a60bfb36ac29b352e70fc9bd790feb17b52a28c66350854e9fed1b33c0

Token Data as JSON

I've also included a file, data.json here that has the metadata and animation hashes in case you'd like to use them for something.
