A Digital Art Installation by Decentralize Design
Effective Date: January 2026 | Version 1.0
By accessing, viewing, rendering, interacting with, or executing the code associated with "C2W2 Virtual Runway" (the "Work"), whether via web browser, VR headset, blockchain explorer, or any other interface, you ("User") acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use, Legal Notices & Disclaimer (collectively, "Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not access the Work.
C2W2 Virtual Runway is a work of contemporary digital art that functions as a satirical, critical, and transformative commentary on digital culture, corporate branding, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency economics, and the evolution of human identity in the digital age. The Work presents 48 digital avatars across six thematic chapters, employing parody, caricature, and pastiche as its primary artistic methods.
The Work operates under the principle of "Documentary Neutrality" — it reflects, critiques, and satirizes existing cultural phenomena, corporate imagery, and public figures as they exist in the collective consciousness. The Work does not endorse, promote, or affiliate with any entity, brand, person, or ideology depicted or referenced within it. All depictions are artistic interpretations intended for commentary and criticism.
The Work is an independent artistic creation. It is NOT authorized by, endorsed by, sponsored by, affiliated with, or officially connected to any corporation, estate, foundation, or individual depicted, referenced, or parodied within. This includes, without limitation:
The Creator asserts that the Work constitutes protected transformative use under applicable intellectual property laws. The Work does not merely reproduce or display existing creative works; rather, it transforms source materials by adding new expression, meaning, and message through:
(a) Satirical Recontextualization: Original 2D artworks are reimagined as 3D digital beings that comment on the act of digitization itself, with AI-generated narration that critiques the loss of "texture" and authenticity in digital reproduction.
(b) Parodic Exaggeration: Public figures and brand archetypes are depicted with obvious, deliberate distortions that serve as commentary on celebrity culture, corporate worship, and technological utopianism.
(c) Critical Commentary: Each avatar serves as a vehicle for social criticism, examining themes of identity commodification, financial speculation, and the erosion of authentic human connection in digital spaces.
The Creator invokes the following legal protections simultaneously, to the extent applicable based on the User's jurisdiction:
The Work is protected under the Fair Use doctrine codified at 17 U.S.C. § 107. The four statutory factors favor fair use: (1) the purpose is transformative, non-commercial artistic commentary; (2) the nature of source materials includes factual public personas and culturally ubiquitous imagery; (3) the amount used is limited to that necessary for recognizable parody; and (4) there is no market substitution effect.
The Work relies on the mandatory exception for "caricature, parody or pastiche" under Article 17(7) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 and the quotation exception under Article 5(3)(d) of the InfoSoc Directive 2001/29/EC, as well as freedom of artistic expression under Article 13 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.
The Work is protected under Section 30A of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (fair dealing for caricature, parody or pastiche) and Section 30(1) for criticism and review.
The Work relies on Section 29 of the Copyright Act for purposes of criticism, review, and satire, as interpreted in CCH Canadian Ltd. v. Law Society of Upper Canada.
The Work asserts protection under Article 10 of the Berne Convention, permitting quotations for criticism.
Technology Figure Caricatures: Characters depicting technology archetypes (such as "Steroive iObs") are deliberate, obvious caricatures no reasonable observer could mistake for actual biographical representations. Distinguishing factors include: grossly exaggerated physical attributes, impossible supernatural abilities, absurdist narrative contexts, and explicit satirical framing.
Corporate Brand Parodies: Visual references employ minimum necessary elements for recognizable parody while adding substantial transformative commentary. These characters critique the quasi-religious role of consumer brands, not advertise products.
Art Historical References: The Work engages in meta-commentary on digital reproduction. References are transformed through: complete medium change (2D to 3D), narrative framing critiquing digitization, and commentary on authenticity theory.
Fictional brand names (e.g., "Baincaigai") are original creations representing generic archetypes, not specific real-world entities. Any resemblance serves cultural commentary on industry practices.
The Creator discloses that the Work incorporates AI-generated or AI-assisted content, including certain visual textures, voice characterizations, written scripts, and modeling assistance.
Any voices resembling known public figures are SYNTHETIC APPROXIMATIONS generated by AI systems — NOT recordings of actual persons. They are dramatic devices exploring digital identity and voice synthesis implications, not deceptive impersonations.
AI-generated content is artistic expression, not factual reporting. The Work does not represent actual views, statements, or actions of any real person.
The Creator embraces "AI hallucination" as deliberate aesthetic reinforcing themes of digital unreality.
Any NFT associated with the Work is exclusively a Digital Art Object — a cryptographic certificate of authenticity for digital artwork, acquired for personal collection and enjoyment, not investment.
Digital assets are NOT: securities or investment contracts (U.S. law, Howey test); financial instruments (MiFID II); crypto-assets requiring MiCA authorization; e-money or utility tokens; or derivatives.
No Governance Rights: No voting or decision-making power.
No Economic Rights: No revenue sharing, dividends, or profit participation.
No Service Entitlement: No guaranteed access to future services or releases.
No Roadmap: The Work is complete. No promises of future development or value appreciation.
Users acknowledge: value may decline to zero; no secondary market may exist; no representations of future value; acquisition is for personal enjoyment with no expectation of financial return.
There is NO official fungible token (ERC-20, SPL) unless announced via verified Creator channels. Claims of an official token are likely fraudulent.
Fictional depictions of "rug pulls," scams, and financial schemes are satirical commentary, not admissions or offers.
The Work uses Arweave permanent storage. Data cannot be unilaterally removed once published. The Creator does not control the network.
Wallet addresses and transactions are recorded on public ledgers. Users concerned about privacy should consider this before interaction.
The Creator acknowledges tension between data protection laws and blockchain immutability, and will cooperate with lawful requests to the extent feasible.
The Work relies on third-party infrastructure. The Creator is not liable for their failures.
No guarantee of perpetual compatibility with future browser versions.
The Work may cause motion sickness. Ensure physical safety. Take regular breaks.
The Work is computationally intensive. Users are responsible for their hardware.
Mature themes including: satirical violence, body horror, existential anxiety, financial criticism, and disorienting environments. Viewer discretion advised.
Visual "errors" (z-fighting, clipping, texture artifacts, physics anomalies) are intentional artistic choices integral to the Work's themes of digital decay.
The "breakage" is the message. No fixes or updates warranted based on these aesthetic elements.
THE WORK IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE CREATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) AMOUNTS PAID IN THE PRECEDING 12 MONTHS, OR (B) USD $100.
No liability for: asset value loss, network fees, platform failures, user errors, hardware issues, regulatory actions, reliance on fictional statements, or third-party actions.

Users agree to attempt good-faith negotiation for 30 days before formal proceedings.
