Imperfect Lovers

Imperfect Lovers performs two coded, on-chain Lovers, each giving the other “everything they have,” until there is literally “nothing left to give.” Even then, they continue to attempt trans-actions to and for one another, failing unless and until they are somehow replenished. Money is always and only a metaphor, and the truest of gifts can only be given when there is no-thing left to give. Here, the Blockchain is leveraged to show intimacy and care, time and mortality, imperfection and romance, despite (and not because of) all that glitters and shines.

Participants must trigger the intra-action. Although the Lovers automatically allocate some of themselves (as Eth) to each other, because of Smart Contract constraints, the transfer itself has to be prompted by an external wallet. At or after 12pm CST on any given day, one and only one person can pay gas fees to enact that transfer, and they will receive a unique NFT: a Portrait of the Lovers at that precise moment.
