Manifesto

In a world where billions of people spend most of their waking hours online, it's only natural that the art we create, collect, and trade should reflect this digital reality. Enter NFTs: the revolutionary medium for art in the information age. NFTs have changed the game for artists and collectors alike, offering a new way to experience, own, and interact with art that is inherently digital.

Consider the power of NFTs as akin to the shipping container in the logistics world. Just as these innovations made it exponentially easier to transport and store physical goods, NFTs have unlocked the potential for digital art to be easily collected, traded, and valued. For the first time, art created in the digital realm can be owned and transacted with the same legitimacy and security as physical art.

Our curated NFT collection showcases the incredible diversity and creativity that digital art can embody. Here, you will find art that was made entirely with code, pushing the boundaries of what is possible with programming and algorithmic design. These pieces are not just visually stunning; they are a celebration of the technical limitations that define the medium, transforming constraints into a canvas.

We also feature art created by machines and art made in collaboration with machines. This symbiotic relationship between human and artificial intelligence results in works that are both innovative and thought-provoking, highlighting the unique capabilities of each. Some of our pieces can only be experienced digitally, existing purely in the virtual space and leveraging the immersive 3D potential.

Our collection includes art created from instructions to physical machines, such as CNC routers and 3D printers, bridging the gap between the digital and the physical. These works are a testament to the versatility of digital tools and the endless possibilities they offer. Similarly, we have art that was co-created by collectors, allowing for a dynamic interaction between the creator and the audience, making the ownership experience a part of the creative process.

We also embrace art that repurposes digital tools not traditionally associated with art, such as spreadsheets and outdated technology. These pieces challenge conventional notions of what art can be, showcasing the ingenuity of artists who see potential in every medium.

NFTs enable art that can only exist on smart contracts, reflecting the decentralized and transparent ethos of our space. Our collection includes works that comment on the very nature of the blockchain and the NFT market, offering critical insights and reflections on this burgeoning field.

From vector graphics based on mathematical formulas to art that embodies the spirit of the blockchain that started it all, our collection is a rich tapestry of digital creativity. This is art that matters—art you can own on global public ledgers, transcending borders and enabling artists from anywhere in the world to reach a global audience in minutes. It is art that cannot be forged, art that remains publicly accessible even if it becomes unaffordable.

You might still be underestimating the potential of digital art. NFTs are more than a trend; they represent a fundamental shift in how we create, experience, and value art. As the digital world continues to expand and evolve, so too will the possibilities for digital art, making NFTs an essential and exciting medium for this new age.
