Bridging the tangible and the immutable, this Recursive Memory exists both as a physical artwork and a Bitcoin Ordinal, exploring how memory, code, and permanence intertwine.

Only 15 ordinals from the series will be made available to collectors on a first-come, first-served basis, each accompanied by a hand-embellished, signed and numbered print, uniting physical and digital expressions of Harto’s vision.

  • To pay via BTC send 0.01866 BTC to: bc1qk028lg0vaj5nfg083dakfrrxyz4ejr6sghrchm

  • To pay via ETH send 0.549 ETH to: 0x8fbe856AA824FFf2e11160725b0150E03c6E2c5C


IMPORTANT: Once payment has been sent, please email payment verification to hello@iconicmoments.co along with which Recursive Memory you would like to purchase.

A 1/1 edition of Recursive Memory—in both print and Ordinal form—will be accessioned into the Museum of Art and Light’s Permanent Collection, preserving the work within the institution’s legacy.

Creation Process: Recursive Memory

  1. Code as Origin
    The work begins with p5.js sketches—geometric forms generated by code, setting the foundation for controlled randomness.

  2. Mechanical Inscription
    A plotter translates these digital sketches into precise physical lines, echoing the permanence of Bitcoin Ordinals.

  3. Human Intervention
    Harto layers oil and acrylic over the plotted forms, disrupting the algorithmic surface with gesture, texture, and imperfection.

  4. Machine Reflection
    A photograph of the canvas is analyzed by AI, which proposes speculative annotations—arrows, words, and marks—offering its own “reading” of the work.

  5. Dialogic Reinscription
    The artist responds, adding or resisting these cues, creating new gestures in dialogue with the machine.

  6. Final Form
    Each cycle of code, plot, paint, and reflection builds upon the last, forming a recursive record of creation—an interplay between human and algorithm, permanence and change.
