Project 07 of 11
9dcc ITERATION-02
I worked with 9dcc to put Squiggle-ish color and motion onto one-of-one physical tees with NFC chips in them.
A Few Notes
What I was doing here
The short version
I worked with 9dcc to put Squiggle-ish color and motion onto one-of-one physical tees with NFC chips in them.
How It Works
We released it through a live event and a virtual Art Blocks Engine mint. Every token paired a generated artwork with a unique physical shirt, and the chip inside the shirt connected it back to the network.
What’s underneath
Then 9dcc added its NINES points and a Proof-of-Mint path for vaulted tokens. There are a lot of moving parts here, which is exactly why 'shirt drop' never felt like a complete description.
Go look around
The 9dcc docs and Art Blocks pages below explain the drop and all the garment mechanics much better than I can fit here.
Easy to miss
The physical tee, the artwork, the chip, the mint event, and the network points are one connected experiment.
Where it led
This took the Squiggle's color language into a physical product that could still identify itself and participate in a network.
Where to find it
The 9dcc release notes, Art Blocks partner page, and Etherscan contract are linked below.

In The Bigger Picture
Where this one goes
- Surface
- Physical tee / on-chain garment
- Deeper Layer
- Generated artwork, one-of-one tees, NFC chips, and a live and virtual mint
- Builds On
- The Squiggle identity and the event-access experiment from VeeCon
- Sets Up
- More physical things that still participate in a digital network
