BACKER ITEM (GPU BLACK MARKET).

This 100% cotton, black T-shirt features our digital, Cyberpunk- and Bladerunner-inspired graphic design of the Chinese idiom “睜一隻眼閉一隻眼“ (“Open One Eye, Close One Eye”), which most directly translates to “Turn a Blind Eye.” The shirt is in reference to numerous sources on the ground in China using this idiomatic expression to answer our question of whether NVIDIA is aware of GPU smuggling into China and repurposing of “defective” GPUs from the factories. This T-Shirt will directly support our first-ever, full-length movie: THE NVIDIA AI GPU BLACK MARKET. We need your help to make these happen in the future, and that is best given through these shirts. The artwork is fully designed by our team and features one open eye, including a camera for the iris and pupil, and one closed eye. We used traditional Chinese characters for a few reasons: The first is just an artistic choice, but also because we first saw this phrase written in traditional characters in Hong Kong. It is read right-to-left, top-to-bottom. The design is off-center on the shirt and is carefully constructed to look like vertical towers, almost like a city skyline from our huge adventure. Like many of our shirts, this is printed in Vermont in the US with water-based inks.

SHIPPING: We will begin shipping these items on August 31. We expect to be caught up on all shipments by September 30.
