Navigate to the live view of your Autology token and click 's' to save it locally.
Then come back here and open the file by clicking "Choose a file..." and select that image.
The embedded data will be shown below.
NOTE: Only the live view will work. Art Blocks, OpenSea, and others use lossy compression for their static images which removes LSB steganography.
Embedded source
FAQ
How is the source encoded into the artwork in the "Autology" project?
The source is encoded within the original generated images using a "Least Significant Bit" or LSB encoding scheme which is a variant of steganography. The source code is first broken down into a binary representation. Each bit is then encoded into the RGB values such that each pixel contains 3 bits of data (i.e. one for each of red, green, blue). Since the pixels are only lightly modified, it is very difficult to see any visible change in the image.
What is steganography?
Wikipedia defines steganography as "the practice of concealing a message within another message or a physical object. In computing/electronic contexts, a computer file, message, image, or video is concealed within another file, message, image, or video."
How can steganography be art?
The "Autology" project displays how the source code of a generative art piece may be embedded directly and imperceptibly in the artwork itself. You may derive the source from the art and vice versa in infinite recursion. The code which generates the art is literally part of the artwork.
Are you the first to do this?
Steganography has been around in many forms for generations. However, to my knowledge this is the first long-form generative art project to make use of it.
