Propelled by Mermetic energy, the Mermes have found many new homes and continue to proliferate. Here is a summary of the project so far and a look at the current evolution of the Mermes.

At Zien we believe much of our lives are spent in the 2.5th Dimension, the non-hierarchy between online and offline, between on-chain vs off-chain. Agnieszka Kurant's Sentimentite acts as an inaugural demonstration of what we mean by this: each of the one hundred Expanded NFTs exist as a ERC-721 NFT that can be redeemed on-chain for a unique counterpart physical sculpture.

Zien would like to introduce our open-source, on-chain innovation: Expanded NFTs. In essence, these are artworks collected as NFTs which are then redeemed on-chain for unique material counterparts.
