Viewing the work and its documentation

Distinguish LIA’s 1997 Cube from its 2019 A2P reinterpretation. The artist-page video presents the latter’s timing; the 24-second noninteractive video, earlier interactive work and blockchain exchange mechanism occupy different layers.

Art-historical significance and comparison

Editorial interpretation: This documents early software art entering blockchain exchange through a changed object, not an unchanged interactive program placed on-chain.
