TTNC stands for the "Things that never change".
TTNC is an ordinal on top of Bitcoin created by @godatplay (indie game maker and generative artist for 20 years) and @nixtoshi (translated most of bitcoin.org into Spanish) using the latest tools for art generation: AI, and the Bitcoin blockchain.
Each component, or "pixel" from the art piece is made up of AI generated art, each telling a different human story in a different time, in a different style. When all these stories are put next to each other, from a zoomed out view, we see something familiar.
The story of technology over time: "People don't change, they mostly stay the same, only technology changes". Which means that throughout the history of humanity we often tell the same stories from different perspectives, and very often we arrive at the same conclusions, the same shared values, over and over again, just using different technologies.
Collect all the collection's pixels to get an airdrop of the bigger piece. Each pixel is a human moment in time generated by artificial intelligence.
The new Ordinals protocol allows people who operate Bitcoin nodes to inscribe each sat with data, creating something called an Ordinal.
That data inscribed on Bitcoin can include smart contracts, which in turn enables NFTs which can be tracked across transactions. Simply put, ordinals allows users to make individual satoshis unique by attaching extra data to them. This process is known as “inscription”.
In a world of ever advancing AI and war, we found ourselves making the same questions we always do, and longing for the same things we always have.
Some things change, but some others never do.

Human + AI, art generation process:
We asked AI (GPT-4) to generate a human's life sequence in 70 steps, and added Unity and Peace. For 72 "pixels" or art pieces that make a larger piece when put together
