Memories of an Exhibition
Official project example · not a BD5D holding
Artwork © Benjamin Bardou. Still preview; original media on the official project.

The work in context

Memories of an Exhibition asks what survives after a work of art leaves our immediate view. Bardou imagines recollection as an active reconstruction: forms and colour from remembered painting meet in latent space and become new images. [1]

Construction and process

The artist’s statement invokes Bonnard, Monet and Van Gogh as remembered possibilities rather than a list of exact reproduced paintings. His biography places the series within a practice spanning cinema, visual effects and digital images. The collection’s minted count is below its stated maximum; the maximum is retained as an edition limit, not a completed sale. [1][2]

Release and mint

The official catalogue dates this release to 2024-04-25. At the 2026-10-13 check, the platform reported 329 minted works against a maximum of 500. The difference is retained rather than calling the edition sold out or treating its maximum as issued supply. [1]

Launch price, presale conditions, mint duration and realised proceeds are not established in this dossier’s evidence. No current market price is substituted for a historical mint price. [1]

Token and preservation

This release uses the shared BrainDrops Ethereum contract. Its official project identifier is 33; the archive matches token IDs to projects and checks ownership at a fixed block. The contract record, token metadata and displayed media are separate parts of the object. [3][4]

BD5D stores optimised still previews, and preserves original media links in its catalogue. The evidence assembled here does not establish that the generative model, its training data, or the full-resolution artwork bytes execute or reside on Ethereum.
