The original Sirius Crocodile Totems set the project’s visual language and its public performance protocol on Solana. Most were drawn live during a performance auction — one block per bid, the last bidder keeping the finished work and its history. Totem #6 continued as a mutable edition; Totem #10’s line-up was drawn by raffle from the ART1FAX one-of-ones.
The first performance auction established the grammar: one bid, one new block, one evolving collective portrait. The art marketplace ExchangeArt accomodated this event by allowing mutability on their live auctions.
The second OG Totem in a very busy jungle setting. The battle on this piece was fierce with around 20 bids by many of the active collectors of the time.
Another classic desert setting with idols and artifacts. The Bearmarketers' own Chainszy doubled the auction value from 11 to 22 SOL at one point, and remained on top.
Probably the bottom of the bear market, peak fear of 2023 and SOL at $20, this Totem was a more prepared version of the previous ones, with 13 scene changes that were prepared beforehand for the totem to transform with. The building around the totem is slowly breaking apart and the sun is setting with shadows growing longer.
Totem #6 extends the live auction into an edition. Its shared image could continue changing after mint, while the limited dream states diverged into their own deliberately different images.
This special PenguLove Totem was made for the PenguLuve exhibition in NYC. Every participant of the exhibition was automatically included in the drawing, and the order was decided by a raffle.
