Glasshouse INAT

The work and its context

Glasshouse INAT is project 467 on the Art Blocks V2 core contract 0x99a9b7c1116f9ceeb1652de04d5969cce509b069, published under the canonical slug glasshouse-inat-by-aleksandra-jovanic and credited to Aleksandra Jovanić. The indexed project record reports a completed edition of 20 of 20 invocations, runtime p5@1.0.0, and the official description: much like the sound of water a second before boiling so I hear the thriving of our plants some words are so tender that we keep them in greenhouses should we let them in on it, Mama? the language of plants has nothing to do with where you’re from -- Radmila Petrović, The Language of Plants (excerpt) * --- It is said that, “inat” is something unique for the people from my country. I don't mean to glorify “inat” as it is the case (here) too often, but I have to admit it is an odd sensation to recognize it in my actions and be able to name it and precisely pinpoint it. “Inat” could be found everywhere in the world, as it is, at times, a motivating spirit that pulls the best out of you in the worst of circumstances. The word itself derives from the Turkish (and, before then, Arabic) language of the Ottoman Empire and the closest translation I found, refers to “an attitude of proud defiance, stubbornness and self-preservation - sometimes to the detriment of everyone else or even oneself.” But for me it bears even more emotional complexities, (for me it also means a) positive motivation for digging into your forgotten strength to accomplish a goal or set a new, higher bar. In my case, “Inat” will often surface when I realize I was either taking things for granted or being too comfortable in my surroundings. I delve into the symbolism encapsulated within the perceptions of botanical gardens, glasshouses and glass ceilings. These metaphors, filled with societal implications, serve as powerful lenses through which I try to augment the emotions. At the same time, duality is present in both this structure seen as sanctuary where aspirations flourish, foster resilience, but also as embodiment of intangible barriers that confine and restrict. By exploring the coexistence of generative glasshouses with imposed constraints and wild but controllable plant structures, I explore the resilience and determination required to transcend societal expectations and the idea of breaking free through incremental changes, slow and steady growth. And when obstacles grow, “inat” sparks. ---- Jezik bilja poput zvuka vode sekundu pre ključanja tako čujem bujanje naših biljaka neke su reči toliko nežne da ih čuvamo u plastenicima da li da im otkrijemo, mama? jezik bilja nema veze s tim odakle ste -Radmila Petrović, poem Jezik bilja from the poetry collection Moja mama zna šta se dešava u gradovima (2020), published by PPM Enklava -English translation by Jovanka Kalaba and edited by Ellen Elias-Bursa ** Dragan Milovic [London’s Institute of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies.], 2004 *** A glass ceiling is a metaphor usually applied to people of marginalized genders, used to represent an invisible barrier that prevents an oppressed demographic from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy. ¹²

Those figures are current index observations retrieved on 2026-09-19, not a reconstruction of the original public sale announcement. Atlas position is a catalogue ordinal and is not the on-chain project ID. The live collection page and the Hasura projects_metadata row agree on title, slug, contract, and project ID after a filtered query that used the exact slug. ¹²

This essay treats the stored artist program, four independently identified outputs, and a freshly checked AB5D holding (or an explicit collection gap) as primary evidence. Metadata traits are cited only when they were returned for the same V2 contract token IDs that were visually inspected. They do not replace looking at the pictures. ³⁴

Conception and development

The official project description is the development account used here. Interview or dossier sentences that name a different slug are not treated as statements about this series. much like the sound of water a second before boiling so I hear the thriving of our plants some words are so tender that we keep them in greenhouses should we let them in on it, Mama? the language of plants has nothing to do with where you’re from -- Radmila Petrović, The Language of Plants (excerpt) * --- It is said that, “inat” is something unique for the people

The development account used here is the specific source named in the citations, not a paraphrase of an artist-dossier page. Where that account is an official project description written in the artist's voice, that limit is stated rather than upgraded into an unpublished studio diary. Where an interview exists, the sentences that actually name Glasshouse INAT are the ones relied on. ⁵¹

Secondary pages that only repeat the marketplace listing are not treated as independent conception sources. ²⁵

How the work was constructed

The complete artist program for slug glasshouse-inat-by-aleksandra-jovanic was retrieved from projects_metadata.script filtered by that exact slug. The UTF-8 payload is 12817 bytes with SHA-256 eeef56a2e2513252392ebecb71d0e04f8a8f8cdc7d482802290a2b4160e4bd12. Runtime on the project record is p5@1.0.0. The script was read in full; it was not executed in this research session. ⁶

The stored generator is 12817 bytes, SHA-256 eeef56a2e2513252392ebecb71d0e04f8a8f8cdc7d482802290a2b4160e4bd12, runtime p5@1.0.0. Detected source markers: setup, draw, createCanvas, keyPressed, tokenData, hash. Named functions include centerCanvas, draw, f_c, f_f, f_fs, f_s, gh0, gh1, grana, keyPressed. tokenData.hash is read in source. Output then follows the drawing path those functions implement. Token 0 observation: Inspected media-proxy PNG is 2400x1703px, light and muted or near-neutral (mean RGB 230,216,207). File size 1217884 bytes. Indexed features: Palette Day; Glasshouse Biases; Plant type Persistence

Visual claims come from inspected media-proxy PNGs plus indexed token features.

Seed handling is visible in the retrieved program: tokenData.hash is read in source. Time and interaction behaviour in code is: Loop behaviour inferred only from source keywords. The inspected PNG is a static frame. A handler found in source is not the same thing as a control that was pressed in a live renderer during this session; tested controls are listed only when an actual key or pointer action was performed. ⁶⁷

External dependencies are those declared by script_type_and_version plus any library identifiers inside the file. Public visibility of the stored script does not grant a right to redistribute the raw artist source in this package, so the analysis cites functions and byte length rather than reprinting the program. ⁶⁸

The mint

Indexed chronology for project 467 on 0x99a9b7c1116f9ceeb1652de04d5969cce509b069 is as follows. First token minted_at is 2023-09-15T17:06:47+00:00. activated_at is 2023-09-18T18:48:35+00:00. start_datetime is 2023-11-01T17:00:00+00:00. completed_at is 2025-03-06T18:52:35+00:00. Invocations stand at 20 of a maximum 20, with complete=true on the retrieved row. ²³

Calculated intervals from those timestamps: first mint to activation is 3.07 days; activation to start_datetime is 43.92 days; start_datetime to completion is 491.08 days; first mint to completion is 538.07 days. These are differences of indexed clock fields, not a claim about when a web storefront button became visible to every collector. A first mint that precedes start_datetime is treated as an early or reserved mint unless a separate allocation record is produced. ²³

Indexed clocks: first 2023-09-15T17:06:47+00:00, activated 2023-09-18T18:48:35+00:00, start 2023-11-01T17:00:00+00:00, completed 2025-03-06T18:52:35+00:00. Early first-mint timestamps are not labelled reserved without a separate allocation record.

Historic per-token ETH prices for the original public sale were not recovered from a primary price table during this session and remain unresolved. Any floor price visible on a marketplace page in 2026 is a current listing observation, not the 2021 ask. ¹²

Copyright and licensing

The project record stores the artwork licence label 'CC BY-NC-ND 4.0'. That string includes an explicit 4.0 version and is treated as Creative Commons version 4.0. Code rights for the artist program are not separately labelled on the same field; they are treated as unknown rather than assumed identical to the artwork deed. ²⁸

Artwork label copied exactly as 'CC BY-NC-ND 4.0'.

Third-party runtime p5@1.0.0 is a separate rights object from both the artwork outputs and the artist source. p5.js, three.js, and ordinary browser JavaScript each keep their own licence texts. This package does not redistribute those libraries. ⁶⁸

Original essay prose in this package is dedicated CC0-1.0 by the research operator. That dedication does not change the artwork, code, or dependency licences.

Motion, interaction, and audio: Loop behaviour inferred only from source keywords. The inspected PNG is a static frame. The static PNGs document halt or preview states. They are not by themselves proof that a live loop is still running, nor proof that a work is silent. No soundtrack was heard from these pages during this session. ⁴⁷⁶

Significance and limitations

Glasshouse INAT is project 467 by Aleksandra Jovanić on 0x99a9b7c1116f9ceeb1652de04d5969cce509b069. The close readings above are the evidence for what the stored program outputs.

Unresolved research questions that remain after this pass: (1) What was the exact public-sale unit price in ETH at start_datetime, supported by a contemporaneous primary source rather than a later floor? (2) For tokens whose live renderer was not stopwatch-timed, what is the measured wall-clock period of one full cycle or one completed progressive draw? (3) What contemporaneous primary source records the original public unit price in ETH? (4) Incomplete Control aside, do any of the three current AB5D wallets later acquire or dispose of the header token used above after 2026-09-19? ²¹⁰⁷
