Palpitations — Auntie Fibrillation

01 Claim

You just tapped an ASTRAL card — a retro-futuristic trading card with a magic chip in it, standing for a real work: an album, a show, a book, or a happening: art opening, book signing, performance.

Nobody has claimed this one yet. The first tap makes it yours.

This card is unclaimed.

02 Tap

A claimed card doesn't stop working. Hand it to a friend, let them tap it with their phone, and the card powers up.

— Every new person's first tap adds a star. It might also unlock special offers for them.
— Stars are a little signal to the artist that someone found their work.
— The people who tap your card end up in your orbit, and you in theirs.

03 Scan

At an event, hold your card up to a reader. What happens next is up to the artist.

— Whatever the artist decides — a treat, a surprise, something worth the tap.
— Proof you were there, with no app and no ticket stub.
— Rarer cards might open better doors.

◊ Collect

Claim and tap are the two ways a card ends up in your constellation — a running record of the art you've come across.

— Pick up a card directly from an artist, and it's yours to claim.
— Tap any card you come across — even ones you don't own — to add it to your collection.

Here's the whole Launch run. The one you claimed is marked — pick up any other card to see where it takes you.

◊ For the Artist Behind This Card

Direct revenue & connection

The artist you just supported sells cards like this one at their events and through their own channels — giving you something physical and interactive to hold onto, not just a stream. They set their own prices, structure their own limited releases, and team up with other creators to build shared collections. Your tap is a direct line to them.

Exposure & network

By tapping in, you just gave this card platform value. Every share from here spreads the artist's work further — and helps them spot and reward supporters like you. They become discoverable across Astral through recommendations, collections, and every event where their cards are sold.

◊ Why This Card Matters

A functional artifact

What's in your hand is uniquely designed and built to last. Powered by NFC, it just unlocked a creative offering — and there may be more mysterious interactions waiting.

Connection & learning

That tap grew this card's star-power. Keep growing your collection, chase down rare finds, and trade with friends and fellow fans — every interaction connects you to real people and real, handcrafted art.

The Boulder Launch Series

ASTRAL's first release — a limited edition series featuring local Boulder artists and events, launching this year in our own backyard.

This is your chance to see what else is out there: the rest of the collection is packed with amazing local artists, each with their own card, their own story, and their own world to unlock. Keep tapping and scanning to discover them all.

And if you're an artist yourself, this is a stellar opportunity to get your work in front of a whole new audience — physically, memorably, and on your own terms. We're looking for Boulder creators of all stripes to join us for this vibrant community collection. Fill out an artist interest form to join — and help build the next wave of interactive art cards that spread your art through space and time.
