FAQ

1111 is an NFT art series by conceptual artist Kevin Abosch, minted on OpenSea beginning on March 23, 2021.
Each work is built from cryptographic, hexadecimal-like alphanumerics — the artist’s own “hexadecimal testimony”.

On the technical side, the collection uses the ERC-1155 standard on Ethereum, with images/metadata stored on Arweave.

It’s less a “drop” than a corpus: the meaning (if there is one) emerges when you compare pieces, track changes, and revisit.

Maybe — but there is no public key, no official “solution”, and that ambiguity may be the point.

1111 borrows the surface language of cryptography (keys, hashes, truncation) to talk about identity, value, and attention. If it reveals something, it will likely do so through patterns and events over time — not through a single decoding moment.

Pay Attention offers tools to observe (filters, traits, on-chain states). Interpretation stays open. So far, nothing meaningful has surfaced.

Pay Attention is not a slogan — it’s a method. 1111 doesn’t hand you a story or a trait map. It invites slow looking: repetitions, gaps, strange symmetries, and the occasional anomaly that only appears when you scan the whole set.

This site exists to support that kind of viewing: stable navigation, clean grids, and a way to track what changes (ownership, listings, burns) without the noise of a trading interface.

And yes: part of the experience is that we don’t fully know what the series might reveal — if anything — should it ever be “decoded”.

Marketplaces are optimized for transactions. Reading a body of work is different: you need overview, proximity, and memory.

Pay Attention treats 1111 as an archive you can scan, filter, and revisit. Seeing pieces side by side makes patterns (and non-patterns) visible — and keeps the “what is this?” question alive.

The goal is clarity, not commentary: reliable links, fast browsing, and on-chain states that matter.

1111 didn’t launch as a trait-driven generative drop, and there is no official rarity table.

“Rarity” here is interpretive and time-based: some pieces surface often, others almost never; burns remove works from circulation; certain visual structures or numbers naturally attract attention. Pay Attention adds optional traits to help you browse — not to declare value.

Some works have also surfaced in traditional art contexts (auctions, exhibitions), adding another layer of provenance and story.

Traits on Pay Attention are an editorial layer: labels derived from recurring visual and structural motifs we’ve observed across the series. Each token can match one or several traits.

A few traits are weighted in the internal sort because they make browsing easier (strong, distinctive signals within the corpus): Singular, Special ✰, Quantum, Satellite(s), and Multicolor. This weighting is a navigation aid — not a statement about value.

If you spot a missing trait or a misclassification, please get in touch — the index improves with careful eyes.

Pieces can be purchased on OpenSea or via private sales. Check the Collection page for available tokens and the 1111s currently for sale (updated every 3 hours).

Burnt tokens are pieces that have been permanently removed from circulation by their owners — typically by sending them to a designated burn address on Ethereum, such as 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead. Like the 1111 #1086, they may still remain visible on-chain, but they are effectively off the market forever. This reduces the circulating supply and can increase the relative rarity of the remaining tokens in the collection.

The artist references 1111 KOSMOS, presented as a CubeSat satellite project linked to climate-related data and future drops. What exactly “the satellite” means inside the 1111 narrative is intentionally open.

On Pay Attention, Satellite(s) is one of the browsing traits — a way to surface works that seem to echo that thread.

Pay Attention is an independent, unofficial website published and maintained by guillaumeh. It started as a personal index built to study the series: compare pieces, track on-chain states, and keep the work readable over time. Say hello on Twitter/X or LinkedIn. Sales data is updated every 3 hours. There may be occasional errors or missing traits — if you notice something, please message me.
