dead ringers is a groundbreaking work of performance art by canadian generative artist, dmitri cherniak.

In January 2022, cherniak minted a daily 1/1 piece of generative art in the style of his iconic ringers series.

the brilliance of dead ringers, beyond the algorithmic art, is that, each day, cherniak transferred the newly-minted piece to a randomly generated ethereum wallet address.

"it's almost guaranteed none of the wallets will ever be active or accessible. consider it a celebration of birth, life, and death.", cherniak tweeted on dec. 30, 2022.

dead ringers forces us to question our relationship with art and what it means to possess (or not possess) it, while also spurring the conversation about copyright and cc0.
