I remain in wonder at the power humankind have conjured in their short time on Earth. Nothing represents the extreme duality of that power better than the rocket. It inspires wonder and hope and dreams and visions of travelling far into the stars. And at the same time, the same technology when weaponised is used to insite fear, curtail freedoms and threaten the very hopes and dreams they could inspire. On the back of the rocket lies either a spectacular future for humankind among the stars, or a very rapid and complete self-annihilation. Only humans seem capable of creating such extremes. Crewman

There are numerous unlockables associated with a Twin-Canvas work.
The following files will be made available to you for download:
While the additional canvas is available through Darkblock, it may also be decrypted manually. A walk-through video guide of how to do this will be available soon.

Twin-Canvases are inspired by burried art works often found upon x-raying an old piece of art. There are many famous examples. Upon examination, sometimes an entirely different art work is found. Sometimes it is an early rendition of the final piece.
In a similar sense, Twin-Canvases contain two art works. To do this, stenographic encryption is used. Your downloadable image appears as an ordinary PNG file (and may be used as such). However, encrypted within each image file is a second canvas!
While the second canvas is extractable directly, your purchased NFT also acts as a key to download the main work, a high resolution version of its second canvas and any other attached works or resources.
You may also extract the second work directly from the PNG file itself (using third-party software). It contains extra art work and shows each editions unique collection number (1 of 5, 2 of 5, etc). This means it is accessible off the blockchain.
Note: Download and installation of free, open-source software to a PC is currently required to decrypt and extract the twin-canvas. A high-resolution version of the second canvas/work is available for download via Darkblock - your purchased NFT acts as a key to access that service.
Each work is truly considered as a canvas. Both works go together and this method of providing some of the unlockable content means that it can be accessible to you without access to the block-chain. If it is your intention to hold onto the art-work for a long time, you can back-up the files in such a way that they are not block-chain dependant.
