APPENDIX
Three extra spatial stories about the impact of the Belgian-made pixels on Earth and Ethereum
The Cover Photo's Secret
The photograph on the cover, awalkaday 251-2022, was shot, edited and published online before a sculpture was later installed on the same site inside a public park in Namur (Wallonia, Belgium).
This black-and-white photo captured a fleeting moment. It preserves for ages a romantic outdoor scene: a couple of people sitting in the open air on the grass under a glowing tree.
Sculpted in bronze by Belgian artist Nat Neujean, The Daughters of Water (1951) depicts two intertwined nymphs, symbolizing two European rivers: Meuse and Sambre. The colorful photographs of the sculpture were taken on the 8th day of May 2024, a day that commemorates the Second World War-ending victory of democracy over fascist ideologies across Europe in the mid-20th century.
The two artworks share roots in a 19th century park named after the first Queen of the Belgians, Louise-Marie. Zoom in to notice a pair of beings, humans or deities, photographed in the shade of one slowly aging tree, observed on the linear timeline of Mother Nature. The secret is: Tree of Life.
Four Ethereal Domains
Beyond physical locations, digital naming also celebrated Belgian places. Four ENS domains owned by daqhris.eth since the summer of 2022, named after towns and rivers, have been decorated with awalkaday photographs. The local landscape was mapped and displayed on an Ethereum blockchain naming protocol to celebrate a rare week of international conferences: EthCC [7] & ETHGlobal Brussels in the summer of 2024.
Unbanked Ether Underfoot
Established in July 2021, and signed with a cryptographic algorithm, a personal story inspired the founding of daqhris.eth Cryptoassets Growth Fund, which later enabled all financial steps. The fund's formal and financial structure (table of contents, definitions, disclaimers) was documented and lives online at daqhris.com/cryptoassets-growth-fund.
