Bored Apes Yacht Club became the portraits of a #Web3 world that straddle the line between virtual identity, collectible objects of conspicuous consumption, utility tokens for membership clubs, licensable assets, and a proto-visual cryptocurrency: as volatile and tradable as their more fungible counterparts.

‘On NFTs’, the first major #art historical publication of the #NFT field is available as Collector’s Edition and as The Hard Code Edition on taschen.com/en/collection/….

This BABY SUMO title can also be purchased using an existing #Ethereum wallet or opt to use Crossmint, which offers the option to pay with a credit card via a custodial wallet solution. #crypto

The rarest CryptoPunk type: one of only nine Aliens

These 8-bit styled, algorithmically generated characters, aesthetically composed of just 576 pixels, became the first #avatars to inhabit the blockchain.

The layer of immutable ownership that #blockchain technology upholds meant that for the first time in the internet’s short history, users could assign their online self with a visual layer of unchallengeable individuality, yet still retain an impenetrable level of pseudonymity. The Punks gave face to #crypto.

The Chromie Squiggle project challenged conventional notions of edition size with a potential 10,000 expressive curvilinear works.

Erick Calderon’s algorithmic code determines the nature of each unique Squiggle’s path, the width and style of the line, and the #color gradients within.
