Kindness / a captured state of the animated work
01 / WHAT FEEDS THE WORK
A PORTRAIT
THAT LISTENS.
The subject speaks. The canvas reacts.
This is continuously animated artwork, not a still image replaced when someone posts. WhaleShark—WhaleDShark on DeSo—can remote-control its behaviour through his public words. New post text is scored for sentiment; that points system sets filters affecting movement, animation speed, colour, glitches and visual forms.
The collaboration grew out of a month of work between WhaleDShark, SidXO and NFTz. It brings together a collector’s public voice and my recurring characters, memories and colourful chaos. Each of the three works draws on a different quality: Kindness, Decisiveness and Strength.
The posts live on the DeSo protocol. The artwork reads the text and interprets it; its visual reactions are not written back on-chain. A sentiment score is an interpretation of language, not a measurement of the person’s true emotions. The artist sets the visual rules. The collector supplies a changing input.
A portrait its subject can change by speaking.
02 / THE EVIDENCE
ORIGINAL ARTWORK & ARCHIVE MEDIAONE PORTRAIT.
MANY STATES.
Look closer. The details carry the story.
01 / Colour, held together
The figure remains an anchor inside a changing field.
02 / Recognition breaks up
Pixelation interrupts the familiar portrait.
03 / Almost an absence
Monochrome blocks and silhouettes push the image towards abstraction.
04 / The figure returns
Muted colour, hearts and fragmented marks coexist.
05 / The field takes over
Colourful fragments nearly swallow the portrait. These are supplied captures, not a live sentiment demo.
03 / ANOTHER LAYER
THREE QUALITIES.
ONE PUBLIC VOICE.
Kindness is the released chapter. The other two works remain unreleased; the descriptions below document their intended visual language, not current mint availability.
01 / Released
Kindness
A hooded figure sits among friends and characters from collector culture and gaming. Tennessee grasslands move around this calm centre. Sentiment changes their pace and direction, while the portrait remains a stabilising presence inside the chaos.
Kindness is not an absence of noise. It is the choice to stay grounded within it.
02 / Unreleased
Decisiveness
A throne, an undersea realm and cetacean guardians. The central figure holds still while dolphins, waves and purposeful motion express the changing input. More intense scores can provoke leaps, spins and reversals.
Command does not need to chase every disturbance.
03 / Unreleased
Strength
A Muay Thai fighter stays alert amid a breathing crowd, a radial pulse and glitches beneath the surface. Sway, bounce and visual energy respond to the post’s sentiment score.
Strength lives in readiness as much as action.

04 / NOTHING EXISTS ALONE
INTO THE
SYSTEM.
Public language enters an authored system. Sentiment becomes a parameter; characters, colour and motion make it visible. The work goes back into the world to be seen and discussed. That conversation becomes another input. The influence is not hidden: the collector, the artist and their shared culture are all present.
