About
Ask anyone what they think about art and the response will be for certain, unmistakably, guaranteed, a mix of perceptions based in the past. Some will counter that new technologies such as NFTs, VR, AI, and web3 decentralization answer the call for innovation but why stop there? Hereafter The Art seeks answers from the future. Are we granted “free will” or governed by powers unknown? Can we possibly predict the future of art? Is it folly to try?
This is an open call in a global search for 100 artists. Diversity is paramount as this quest is universal in scope. Each artist will look beyond their “normal” sphere of creativity and speculate on the future of art. In doing so, each will create one NFT comprised of two parts, a self-portrait and an essay. The essay portion of each NFT will be sealed in a virtual time capsule as a letter to/from the future. The NFT holders will have the option to reveal (or not reveal) the time capsule contents up to a point. However, all time capsules will open automatically and randomly in one to five years. This is a chance to rewrite the “rules” on art and explore the limits of human imagination. Are you in?
We invite you to think freely about what art is and what it might become. Together let’s acknowledge the power of art and explore the very definition of art, both now and hereafter.
