Watching for the Weather: Tavess Smalley’s Fell-Cloud

Fell-Cloud is a generative NFT series by Travess Smalley, launching 16 September, in which all purchased NFTs stay locked until fog appears at the Gunnerkeld stone circle in Cumbria, England, between 2pm and 3pm CET. The works are built on the [aside] protocol, which locks NFTs until an external event occurs, and the unlock check uses the OpenWeather API through Chainlink Functions. The series comprises 36 photographs taken near Gunnerkeld on 5 November 2012, and its procedural fog draws on 12 years of local weather station data.
