What is "The Absence Experience"? A 🧵

TAE is an NFT project based on Solana. Set in a dystopian time when all originality, creativity, and beauty have been seemingly drained from the collective conscience of the world, The Absence Collective is formed to fight back The Absence.
How does the project work?

TAE has been designed to reward participants of the project. Firstly, the NFT for this project is known as a "Desecrated Canvas", and ALL Desecrated Canvas are the same. There is no rarity in this collection and there are no traits. That being said...
Yes, every single NFT will be identical AT THE TIME OF MINT. Where things get interesting is what happens AFTER you mint. We are creating a portal and automation engine to allow every member of the TAC that acquires a canvas to do their part in restoring originality and beauty.
What does that even mean?

When you mint a Desecrated Canvas, you are minting an opportunity. A holder of a Desecrated Canvas will have the opportunity to create a unique 1/1 piece of art and submit it for approval to have the metadata of the NFT updated to your new image!
Additionally, 100% of secondary royalties are going back to the community and participants! 80% of the secondary royalty, for each individual piece, will go to the artist that "Redeemed" it. 20% will go to the DAO and be distributed to holders of "Redeemed Canvases".
Yea but I can't draw!

No matter! That doesn't exclude you! Each canvas can only be "Redeemed" a single time. That means that the "Desecrated Canvases" are BY DEFAULT deflationary, without any sweeps, burns, or special mechanics. One would assume price would, over time, increase!
So all I can do is HODL the blank if I can't do art?

No! We're creating opportunity and revenue streams here, which means creative solutions. Why not work out a deal with an artist friend to do the artwork and split the royalties? 40% artist 40% you 20% DAO.
On top of all of this, look at what this collection will do for artists! This submission to the collection will act as a 1/1 business card for the artist that created the work! We will ask for socials, portfolio links, etc... to be added into the description of the NFT!
So now, if someone is looking for an NFT artist, they can just go browse the TAE collection, find a style they like, check out the description, and contact the artist! That easy!

So let's do a quick recap on where we are at this point, as well as wrap things up...
We're minting opportunities and potential here at TAE, and if you choose to join the TAC, we hope that you work hard to create ongoing revenue streams for yourself. This project will allow us to shine a light on the amazing talents spread ALL over Solana.
Multiple ways to participate, artistic or not
100% Community Created/Curated Collection
100% royalties back to community
100% 1/1's
100% Original, creative, unique NFT's
If you would like to learn more about the project, the tech behind it, the lore, or anything else, I ask that you please join the Discord and look around :) DYOR on what we are working towards here, and join the TAC!

The "Flipped" @DegenApeAcademy project being posted about is exactly why TAE was created.

Not because we are against derivatives...

(which this is not, this is a blatant copy)...

But because we love creativity, originality, and things that are genuinely "one of a kind".
It seems like every day now we are flooded with the regurgitation of "successful projects" through "derivatives" simply because the "formula" worked.

Now, don't get me wrong... I have NOTHING wrong with a good derivative project that is ACTUALLY a derivative verses a copy cat...
A derivative in my eyes is a project that was INSPIRED by another, that caused a stir of CREATIVITY in the artist, that caused them to create an ORIGINAL homage to the project that acted as the muse.

Flipping something on an axis does NOT a derivative make.

That is a copy.
