Physical NFT Artwork imnotArt Exists in the Ethereum Metaverse
As revealed the entire gallery has been recreated in a video game-like metaverse world, displayed on the back wall with a video feed pumping live footage from the physical gallery into the game space.
Every single piece of artwork in the gallery is a Non-Fungible Token minted on Ethereum, and you can purchase the single-edition piece for your collection.
In addition to this, it should be noted that the NFTs allow digital art to be sold much like physical art.
Though digital artwork can be copied, saved, and shared easily, NFTs offer a way to give them value and support the artists behind them.
You can view NFT artwork on digital devices, and we have seen virtual galleries pop up in online worlds.
Depiction of NFT Pieces and Chase McCaskill’s Statement on the Same
As for the depiction of the NFT piece, they are depicted on a large screen giving the artwork, most of them animated in some manner.
It should be seen as an opportunity to shine against the stark white walls of the gallery.
Chase McCaskill, the co-founder of imnotArt, released a statement recently that read:
“We want people to come in here and then leave feeling like they know the artist, know the piece, and that they’ve had an experience with it—rather than just see a piece on a wall.”
In addition to this, McCaskill laid an emphasis on the digital art exhibition and said:
“As far as we know, this is the first true physical/digital art exhibition that’s been done that is fully physical, but also fully virtual as an amplification of the physical. We want to keep pushing that envelope.”
