There is magic in the here and now. On the infinite scale of time and space you somehow ended up exactly now, and exactly here. Everybody who is no longer—or not yet—alive will want to trade places with you.
That unique spot in spacetime, from the perspective of planet Earth, consists of four coordinates: the Northern latitude (N), the Western longitude (W), the height as distance to local sea level (H), and the time (T). With these four, you can pinpoint any event in history.
We can map these four values onto a colour code RGBT (Red, Green, Blue, Transparency) like this: R/N G/W B/H 100-T/T. The result is a pixel of a certain colour and transparency that points to an exact historical place and moment in spacetime.1
In a radical move to further capitalism by commodotising everything we know, we now sell historical events.
The following event limitations apply:
- has to be on earth
- height above local sea level: -10 to 490 meter
- time: local time, up to 600 years before the project launch date
When you buy a historical event you receive an NFT in the form of one coloured pixel. In addition to the pixel, the NFT contains the exact coordinates and RGBT values plus a description of the event.
As part of the NFT, the time and the space are extended beyond the exact RGBT+ coordinates. The time is extended to 5 minutes before until 5 minutes after the historical event. The space is extended to a sphere of 3m diameter centered around the exact point referenced by the RGBT+ values. This information is stored in the NFT. If the event is longer or bigger than that we can upgrade the time frame or diameter at an additional cost.
All NFT's of events are issued in an edition of 1, so you become the unique owner of the moment in spacetime.
Let us know which historical event we can RGBT+ for you! It can also be a personal event from your life. Important is that the time and place can be pinpointed.
We currently offer the following off-the-shelf historical events:
- King Louis XVI decapitated
- First telephone call (2 NFT's)
- Titanic sinks
- First successful kidney transplant
- Bullet hits JFK in the head
- Mohammed Ali knocks down George Foreman in Kinshasa, Zaire
- Tiananmen tank man stops a tank
- Berlin wall breached for the first time
- Nelson Mandela released from prison
- Plane hits first Twin Tower
- Barack Obama sworn in as first president of colour of the United States
- Just another day in Wuhan
You can buy the off-the-shelf moments in the boutique or order your own event in the clinique.

The exact location in spacetime has several digits behind the decimal point that are rounded in the pixel's RGBT colour. Also, the 'T' in RGBT is in fact the inverse of transparency: opacity. The older an event is, the higher the transparency will be (the events fade out with time).
