That year, in 798, I saw a media art group exhibition. There is a pigeon flying on the roof of the exhibition hall.
It is mechanical, bionic in shape, with silver plastic fibres and a pair of wings flapping incessantly. The child thought it was a real bird and stood on the ground and waved at it. The pigeons make a high-frequency buzzing sound as they spin in circles.
And then it fell. With a snap, he fell to the ground, and his wings moved a few times.
At that moment, I suddenly felt: it is alive.
This image remained in my mind until I saw @pjonfly $PJN recently. Another pigeon. Only this time, it's not in the showroom, it's on Solana.
The official setting of Pjon is the first live cyber pigeon. Sounds like a joke. But it's not really like a traditional meme project.
Behind it is Neiry Labs, an accelerator that focuses on brain-computer interfaces and DeSci. This organization is not blowing concepts, they have really done experimental narrative projects such as brain-machine rats and brain-machine orangutans, and the first two tokens have been listed on Solana.
$PYTHIA: It opened 30 times, and then after a few months of correction, it regained its position at the ATH with a market capitalization of more than $60 million.
$ELVIS: Started at a maximum of 5x, there was also a round of corrections, and now I am also running for ATH.
So this Pjon is the third phase of their experiment.
It seems to me that this pigeon may be more like an on-chain installation, and while it may actually be able to be used in reality in the future, it is now clearly more experimental and artistic. In addition to the pigeon's own life and access to the brain-computer interface, the K-line itself reflects another lifeline of the pigeon. This is much more interesting than most meme projects.
Of course, friends who are familiar with me know that I will not rush to the project, everything needs everyone DYOR, but recently I have refocused on the field of crypto art, watched the exhibition offline, and chatted with artist friends again.
So on this project, I'm probably going to decide how to get involved more from the perspective of interesting artworks.
I will continue to look at this digital pigeon just like I did when I looked at the pigeon that fell, to see how long it flies, how high it will fly, how it will fly.
