Finland's 1st in-person #NFTexhibition

It'll be organized this weekend & I'm curating it from frens' wallets. Some works are printed photos in custom acrylic frames with QR codes & others are in native format on-screen.

The exhibition's main objective is to re-examine NFTs in a fine art context by engaging with their aesthetic & historical value – irrespective of their economic value.

This is not to deny or dismiss their exchange value, but since the tech was born in the crypto space ...

... it has just been a natural consequence, that price speculation and trading has overshadowed artistic merits.

'probably nothing' also seeks to compare & contrast the different sub-genres of NFTs in a way that disambiguates diverse approaches from an art perspective.

Let's cherish the synergy between crypto's ethos of creating more democratic & decentralised alternatives to our legacy world + art's function as a testing site for emerging & liberatory ideas.

NFTs are the link that popularises crypto & brings mainstream adoption.

incredible collection & mindset @iamDCinvestor ! thank you ✨

"What's interesting about NFTs vs other kinds of art is the ability to develop this mimetic or viral value on the internet in a way that has not really been seen in traditional art"

"What was it when you purchased your first #CryptoPunk that put you over the edge into uncovering all these other artpieces?" - @RyanSAdams

"The signal for me was when I saw ppl using these as profile pictures. It clicked that ppl are identifying with these assets." -DC

"That's a super powerful driver and I was like 'what's it going to take for someone using this as their profile picture to sell one? And then the gears started turning there, right?" -DC
