What It Is
The first remix competition in the Subject Series, under Tech Epochalypse. Five tech overlords, each a face of the Singularity. Pick one, remix it in Coldie’s editor, and submit your own parallax collage. Two ways to play: use Coldie’s overlord assets, or upload your own art and remix it in. Both compete equally.
The Five Overlords
- →Musk — the physical substrate
- →Altman — the intelligence layer
- →Zuckerberg — the identity layer
- →Bezos — the logistics
- →Huang — the silicon
Pick one. Your choice locks your entry’s category for the event.

The Variant
Coldie creates a 1/1 Variant in response to the competition: a fully kinetic work with a complete 3D scene, built with a unique control layer found in no other piece. Each SUBJ event produces exactly one Variant. These are held as a dedicated series, reserved for future institutional and gallery presentation.
The Promise
Artist-first, collector-rewarding. Winners keep 80%. Nearly half of every drop goes back to the collector community. SUBJ:01 is built to elevate artists who make great work and reward the collectors who’ve been here from the start.
The Singularity has five faces. Pick yours.
