A still artwork from the animation was inscribed with handwritten poetry hidden in the image and the metadata. The video file was minted on Arweave and inscribed in the metadata as well as on Stacks;
A carousel on the marina, a harbor of spies, a yard of windows either reflecting the surface of things or rewriting the legend. Turning mirrors make up the illusions of life ~ a dream, intangible perception. Yet within every fleeting moment contains clues to a bigger picture. And every LF piece is a portal into Paradise.
The first Ordinals triptych by Laurence Fuller, with HD cinematic poetry piece minted via Stacks (to accommodate file size) and a handwritten copy of the poem minted on-chain Bitcoin Mainnet via Gamma. Previously collaborated with Vincent D’Onofrio on No Fear, No Greed, No Envy (featured in Bitcoin Magazine and presented via Sothebys).
Laurence’s artworks have been exhibited internationally ~ from the National Museum of Art in Rome and Museum Angewandte Kunst Frankfurt to Art Basel Miami and NFC Lisbon ~ where his voice and moving-image works reimagine Romanticism in the age of AI.
Collaborating with icons such as Val Kilmer, Vincent D’Onofrio, and leading contemporary painters, Fuller brings a mythic lens to modern life ~ translating poetry into visual allegory across blockchain, film, and fine art.

Kaleidoscope collection marks the first Cinematic Poetry inscribes on Bitcoin Ordinals, where each still conceals a handwritten poem and unlocks a corresponding cinematic work airdropped to collectors on Stacks.
Each artwork conceals a fragment of Fuller’s handwritten poetry within its imagery. Collectors of these 1/1 Bitcoin Ordinals receive a corresponding cinematic poem airdropped on Stacks ~ merging permanence with motion, text with image, and the poet’s hand with digital eternity.
“I could not stop to think,
For the words came flowing faster,
Than the ink could hit the paper,
Call it inspiration if you will,”
~ LF
“Dripping on the marina was dissolution,
For how long had this been going on?
A carousel, a harbor of spies.
The world a pristine mirage.
A yard of windows;
Either reflecting the surface of things,
Or rewriting the legend.”
~ LF
“The emerald mantle which held in frames,
A candle bleeding flames,
Five letters covert fame”
~ LF
“The unknown,
the shadow of the unknown,
walks by pivots on its toes,
watching through a kaleidoscope of windows,
at what plans they make inside,
for the villains and the heroes.
The great tunnel of cascading eyes.”
~ LF
S ~ I have watched your film
L ~ You saw it?
S ~ I’ve definitely seen,
what you can build.
L ~ For my characters?
S ~ But I question if you,
can do it with just,
a page and quill.
If you can make,
the kaleidoscope simple.
All that burning intensity,
simmers inside like,
the searing flames,
of humanity.
L ~ Man undergoes a crisis of faith,
When he takes on a work of art,
Things can get strange.
“Pleiades, Adelphi and
wonderous skies.
For I, for all,
just asked one time;
“What for? And where am I?”
~ LF
