Hemi
parasite
A mixer for Jack Butcher's Credits. Graft two or more into one new work. Open to everyone. Press Graft it, save the image, share it. No wallet and no sign-up.
Credits were made from acts of trust.
Their art is public.
So anyone can graft them.
Open to everyone.
Not making a Statement? Make a Graft.
Graft one. Post one.
Open to everyone.
Open the mixer. Five Credits are already on the canvas: press Graft it to make yours. Want to change it? Add any Credits, move them around, play with the glitch. Put your X handle on it and post the card. If you own Credits, type your address and your Graft is numbered, No. 1 to No. 79.
Post it on X.
Every Graft comes with a share card: the work, your @handle and every Credit in it, plus the link so others can make theirs. Save or copy the card, press Post on X, attach it.
How it works
Your Graft.
Pick Credits
Five are already there. Add any Credit you like by its number. If you own Credits, type your address to use yours. Your Graft is then numbered.
Arrange
Drag the Credits around. Make them bigger or smaller, turn them, stack them. Use 2 to 79.
Glitch it
Slide the controls to scramble the pixels, or just press Randomize. The Credits stay recognizable. Play as long as you like.
Post it
Add your X handle and press Graft it. You get a picture to post, a moving version and a print-size file. Then press Post on X.
Two, five, twelve
Three Grafts made from real Credits. Every Credit in them is still there to find.
Why this is good for Credits
Credits leave your wallet
Nothing is sold or moved. No wallet to connect. Nothing to sign, approve or pay. If you type an address, the mixer only looks at public info.
Credits get a new use
Holding, trading, Statements, and now another option: turning a handful of Credits into one new work. Every Credit qualifies, so the ones that aren't in a Statement have something to do.
Every Credit is named
Every Graft lists every Credit in it by number, plus the settings you used, so anyone can see what went into it.
Made from the real thing
Nothing is traced or screenshotted. Each Credit's art comes straight from where Jack stored it, on the blockchain.
It proves the system is open
Jack built something open enough that another artist can build on top of it. That's a strength of Credits, and HEMIPARASITE is a working demonstration of it.

- Not endorsed by JackAn independent work by Chris Berlin. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Jack Butcher.
- Not a favour askedIt doesn't depend on anyone promoting it. It works because the Credits exist.
- Not for saleThe mixer is free. Nothing to buy, nothing to mint, no sign-up.
- Not a price promiseNo claims about what anything is or will be worth. This is an art project.
