Crypto Quijote

A collection of 1464 tokens. Each token contains a portion of the Spanish edition of “Don Quijote de la Mancha” encoded into an image where each pixel is generated by taking 3 characters from the text and using their ASCII values as RGB values.

“Somewhere in la Mancha, in a place whose name I do not care to remember, a gentleman lived not long ago, one of those who has a lance and ancient shield on a shelf and keeps a skinny nag and a greyhound for racing.” This is how begins what is probably the most important universal literary work of all time. That is why we wanted to transfer this masterpiece to a unique and collectible digital NFT work.

Each token is associated with an image containing 22×22 pixels and each pixel is generated through an algorithm, taking 3 characters from the original text using the ASCII values as RGB of the colour of each pixel.

Through a decoder, the pixel image information can be translated into plain text.
