Faces in the Static. Memories in the Wire.
STATIX is an on‑chain folklore of the Broadcast Wars portraits of beings fused to the feed, preserved as immutable signals. Each token is a fragment of culture refusing to fade.
Collection Specs: 1,513 total pieces • 14 are true 1/1s. Each 1/1 leaves a persistent "ghost" (screen burn) in the collection— a follow-up token that echoes its presence in the feed.
The Origins of STATIX
Before the Broadcast Wars, the global feed was a seamless lattice of shared memory and instant connection. Information flowed freely across borders, and the archives of humanity grew fatter each day, untouched by decay.
Then came the Fracture. No one agrees on the cause, some blame corporate signal lords fighting for dominance, others whisper of rogue AI curators rewriting reality itself. What is known is that one moment the world was united by the feed, and the next, it shattered into hostile channels locked in endless broadcast combat.
In this chaos, the art of the signal became a weapon. Propaganda loops drowned truth, memories were edited mid‑sentence, and static storms consumed entire histories. People no longer trusted what they saw; they trusted only the persistence of a signal that could not be altered.
From the ruins of open communication emerged the first STATIX—individuals who merged with their broadcast units, binding their identity directly to the chain. With monitor‑faces and bodies caught between flesh and firmware, they became living transmissions, proof against manipulation. Each carried their own archive, immutable and incorruptible, etched forever into the public ledger.
The STATIX were not born as heroes. Some were archivists seeking to preserve endangered truths, others were performers desperate to control their own narrative, and a few were mercenaries selling unalterable propaganda to the highest bidder. But over time, they became symbols of resistance to the erosion of memory.
Yet, in the shadow between signals, another force stirred—the BRKRS. Where the STATIX sought to preserve, the BRKRS sought to challenge. They cut, spliced, and jammed feeds not to destroy, but to reveal the edits already hidden within. To them, no signal was sacred, and no archive above suspicion.
The Broadcast Wars rage on. Channels rise and fall, alliances shift like frequencies in a storm. The STATIX stand their ground, faces flickering with the glow of unbroken feeds, while somewhere out there, the BRKRS listen, waiting for the moment to break the signal again.

On-Chain
Art + provenance engineered for permanence
Yes—art and metadata are engineered for permanence. STATIX treats the chain as the gallery, not just the receipt.
There are a total of 1513 Statix. This includes all 1/1's and Ghosts.
After each of the 14 one-of-ones is minted, a companion token appears—its “ghost.” Like CRT burn‑in, this echo preserves the imprint of the 1/1 within the wider set. Ghosts are distinct tokens with their own provenance, designed as narrative residue of a moment that stayed on-screen too long.
Statix is forever stored on ETHEREUM Mainnet
Yes, Statix was designed with use as a profile picture in mind. The native svg output can be converted to png for use on social media with the tool located at https://peng1.art/svgtopng.html
No. We have no control over the secondary market price or the desire for people to buy Statix on the secondary market. Mint because you love the art, the vibes, the culture, and the energy of these Statix! But remember, you mint at your own risk.
Long after the first waves of the Broadcast Wars had ended, a new pattern emerged in the static. Brief distortions—sharp, deliberate, almost like a signature. Some called it corruption. Others recognized it as something else entirely: BRKRS.
No one knows if they’re survivors of the old networks or architects of something new. They slip between the frequencies, carving out pieces of the feed and burying them in places only the most dedicated can find.
Whispers among collectors speak of hidden artifacts—encrypted packets buried deep in transmissions, accessible only to those who can decode the interference. It’s said these relics hold more than history; they hold power.
The BRKRS are coming!
When the signal fractures, will you be ready to follow it into the noise?
