INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEFACEMENT
Instructions for Defacement is a generative art project developed for release on plottables.io, in which NFTs of unique pen plotter instructions are created upon mint. Each Instruction, which is represented by an SVG, is designed to be interpreted by modern pen plotting software and drawn on an area equal to 5.8125" x 2.34252". All instructions that cannot be executed by a pen plotter are designed to be performed manually. The thumbnail of each NFT simulates what a resultant plot might look like if executed on the pictorial area of the United States one-dollar bill. Resultant plots may appear different than the corresponding NFT thumbnail due to pen selection, paper quality, imprecise pen plotter alignment, and the uniqueness of manual instruction execution.
This document outlines a six-point procedure in which a prospective collector may purchase an Instructions NFT and (optionally) execute those instructions:
