fiducial markers
500 registration points · created at the moment of mint · unknowable before it
The title comes from the operating room: fiducials are the fixed markers of stereotactic registration, the points that let a surgeon navigate to a target hidden inside the skull.
Each plate here reads like evidence from that kind of instrument — cords pegged to nothing visible, figures mid-sequence, screens caught mid-read. 500 registration points, created at the moment of mint and unknowable before it.
The work never changes, but one circle on every plate keeps the real phase of the moon, so all 500 watch the sky together. Every marker holds more than it shows.

All 500 plates are watching it with you.
Minting runs on Highlight, on Ethereum. Every purchase guarantees a unique, 1-of-1 artwork: your plate is generated the moment your transaction confirms, exists nowhere until then, and re-renders identically forever after.
Already minted? Enter your marker number. The site reads your mint transaction from Ethereum, re-renders your exact plate: same seed, same wallet fingerprint, and hands you a print-ready PNG.
