About the Artwork
Equinox Head is a mutated children’s toy from the 80s, containing poisonous green slime. It is thought the green substance is also hallucinogenic. Originally a benign plastic toy, this final form of Equinox Head is a known contaminant and must be avoided. Equinox Head is said to have a ‘sad look in his eyes’, but this is probably a rumour.
Now featured in this holographic, ‘single edition’ collectible card, from the animated short film Top 5 Animation Containers by Ben Wheele Using CGI animation, Wheele constructs a fantastical world of sinister creatures and digital hybrids available for your ownership. The collection attempts to reinterpret the sparkling, holographic nostalgia of 80s-90s trading cards. Each artwork is hand-crafted at 2000 x 2000px and 150 frames, and is released as a unique single-edition ERC-721 token.
