Enter the Machine
A portrait studio for digital files on blockchain
Enter The Machine provides a new way of seeing our digital files that does justice to their uniqueness, the diversity of the data they contain, and the complexity by which they are structured.
In 2023 artist Eric Corriel opened “Enter The Machine: Portrait Studio” on the Ethereum blockchain to further explore the realm of digital file portraiture by connecting with people around the world and creating portraits of their digital files.
