DIGITAL MALEVICH
BLACK SQUARE nft
I am the anonymous digital heir of Kazimir Malevich.

I created my "Digital Black Square" as a single black pixel. As an indivisible part of digital art, this Black Pixel is the basis of all things in the digital space. Let there be light! And a white pixel appeared. Further, by increasing the bitness of the color palette, pixels of all colors have occurred. All digital art, without exception, consists of these pixels, represented in my Collections.

The first element is the "Digital Black Square". This is an "atom“, a minimal element of digital graphics, from which a digital ”canvas" (black screen) is first assembled, then the artist changes the color of the pixels to create an image.

"Let there be light!" Said the designer and lit the White Pixel - "Digital White Square" - the second basic element of the entire color range.
1-bit Pixels Collection
The very first set of colors included only two options: black and white. Digitally it was a single bit pixel (one bit takes a value of either 1 or 0) Value 0 - the pixel does not shine, value 1 - the pixel shines.

Each of the two states is represented by one pixel in this collection.

Total pixels in collection: 2
4-bit Pixels Collection
With a color depth of 4 bits, the number of possible colors has increased to 16. The first Apple computer monitors supported this amount of colors.

Excluding 2 pixels from the 1-bit Collection, we get 14 unique color pixels this Collection.

Total pixels in collection: 14
8-bit Pixels Collection
The real revolution in graphics was the 8 bit color depth. Amount of 256 colors was enough to create a full color image, especially if designer used the limited palette trick.

Excluding colors from all previous collections, we get 240 unique color pixels for this Collection.

Total pixels in collection: 240
16-bit Pixels Collection
The next palette was created with 16 bit color depth, called High color. This number of colors was already enough to get any valid image, but the human eye can distinguish about 10 million colors.

Excluding colors from all previous collections, we get 65`264 unique color pixels for this Collection.

Total pixels in collection: 65`264

24-bit Pixels Collection
Therefore, the final color palette was RGB. Each color: R(red) G(green) Blue(B) uses 8 bits, the total of 8+8+8=24 bits.

This set of colors was called True color. With more than 16 million colors it surpassed the capabilities of the human eye

Each color is represented as the minimum possible element: a 1x1 pixel graphic file.

Each collection as a whole costs 24 ETH, which is equal to the maximum number of bits used to display True Color. The cost of each pixel is proportional to their total number in the selected collection.
1-bit Pixels Collection
First collection that uses a 1-bit color palette.

Each piece in this collection is a 1x1 pixel image with a unique color corresponding to the name and number of the color in the palette.

At the dawn of computer graphics, 1 bit was used to store information about the color of a pixel. This color palette is called monochrome. 1 bit can only take two values: either 0 or 1. When creating an image, each pixel was assigned a value: 0 - the pixel does not glow (black), 1 - the pixel glows (white). The first personal computers, notably the Apple Macintosh, had a monochrome CRT display.

There are only 2 pixels in the 1-bit collection: black and white. Like darkness and light, these two elements were primordial in the newly created digital universe. So the price per pixel is 24 \ 2 = 12 ETH
"Black Pixel" is an atom, a minimal element of digital graphics, from which a digital ”canvas" (black screen) is first assembled, then the artist changes the color of the pixels to create an image.

Digital Black Square
The second element is "White Pixel”.
There can only be one unique “White Pixel” in 1-bit color palette.

Color name: White
RGB code: #FFFFFF
Image size: 1x1 pixel
Color bit depth: 1 bit

Price: 12 ETH
Digital White Square
4-bit Pixels Collection
Collection of color pixels that uses a 4-bit color palette, created on the basis of the "Digital Black Square". Each Color is represented as a 1x1 pixel GIF file.

When 4 bits were allocated to save the pixel color information, this expanded the number of displayed colors up to 16. The Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), Commodore, ZX Spectrum and others computers uses 4-bit color depth. Each color has its own unique name. In the digital universe, these colors are called System colors.

There are only 2^4=16 Colors in the 4-bit Color Scheme. Excluding 2 colors from the 1-bit Collection, we get 14 unique color pixels for 4-bit Collection. Price per pixel is 24 \ 14 = 1.714 ETH

8-bit Pixels Collection
Collection of color pixels that uses a 8-bit color palette, created on the basis of the "Digital Black Square". Each Color is represented as a 1x1 pixel GIF file.

The real revolution in graphics was made by the 8-bit color set. 256 color options were almost enough to create a full-color image, especially if you used the limited palette trick. The Windows and Macintosh platforms have different system palettes, with only 216 colors identical between the two systems. This color set is a "web-safe" color palette.

At the dawn of the computer era, each color was given a unique name. For example: HotPink, DarkKhaki, Orchid, Honeydew, MistyRose. Perhaps you will find your favorite color among them!

There are only 2^8=256 Colors in the 8-bit Color Scheme. Excluding 2 colors from the 1-bit Collection and 14 colors from 4-bit Collection, we get 240 unique color pixels for 8-bit Collection. Price of one pixel is 24 \ 240 = 0.1 ETH
