    DADA.ART is a hope for the NFT world

    DADA.ART is one of the 50 artists featured in “CRYPTO ART – Begins,” the first NFT book chronicling the history and evolution of Crypto Art

    “CRYPTO ART – Begins” chronicles the exciting beginnings and evolution of Crypto Art through the history and work of 50 of the best artists in the world who contributed to its birth and are still an active part of the present and future of its revolution with their NFT projects.

    CRYPTO ART – Begins presents DADA.ART

    DADA.ART is place immersed in the virtual world where art comes to life as the result of collaboration between artists and enthusiasts of the blockchain universe. 

    The collection born from the creative encounters, “Creeps & Weirdos,“ is an heirloom of NFT history and a masterpiece of Internet aesthetics.

    WHAT IS DADA?

    DADA is a virtual meeting space for Crypto Art enthusiasts from all over the world. 

    A decentralized community that hosts influential artists, technology professionals, researchers and collectors who gravitate within the blockchain ecosystem. 

    Communication between the different users of DADA is not through speech, but through creative collaboration, resulting in participatory works.

    This reality has existed since before crypto art entered the art debate. 

    The 2017 launch of “Creeps & Weirdos”-an NFT project and collection containing 108 unique pieces created by 30 platform artists-established DADA’s position among the pioneers of Crypto Art. 

    THEIR ART

    “Creeps & Weirdos” is a representation of the essence of DADA. 

    When the collection is launched in 2017, Crypto Arte is uncharted territory. Curiosity and innovation drive what is still an experiment, and in 2019 the collection undergoes its first update. 

    The momentary market stall prompted DADA’s decision to reward all original collectors with an updated version of the 2017 NFTs and close the collection. 

    In 2021, the promising recovery of the crypto market leads DADA to consider a new exit, but the market is faster and, impressed and fascinated by this piece of NFT history, turns its full attention to the project. 

    Now “Creeps & Weirdos” is a single collection encompassing two editions in which the same tokens are represented with different characteristics and nuances related to different stories.

    Among the pieces in Cromomaniac’s “El Raro” collection powerfully embodies the soul of this project. 

    The perspective is a cinematic close-up of a creature with human features that with an eerie smile seems to welcome the viewer into another reality. 

    The work is in line with the creative concept of “C&W,” which was released on Halloween 2017, a date symbolic of the opening of foreign dimensions just like the digital world. 

    The fluorescent colors hark back to the original Internet aesthetic that is meant to be different from the real to remind us that the virtual universe is a mirror of our own, but it is not the same thing. 

    CURATOR ELEONORA BRIZI SAYS OF DADA.ART

    Eleonora Brizi, curator and founder of Breezy Art, who curated for The NFT Magazine the selection of the 50 artists featured in the book “Crypto Art Begins” writes about DADA.ART:

    “DADA was also special in the way the interview was conducted. through the voices of multiple artists, as a collective. One characteristic of DADA is its involvement with the social aspects of the Crypto Art space. DADA does not just criticize, but proposes and works on solutions. DADA is hope.”

    Brendan Dawes’ NFTs speak the digital language  

    Brendan Dawes is one of 50 artists featured in “CRYPTO ART – Begins,” the first NFT book to chronicle the history and evolution of Crypto Art

    “CRYPTO ART – Begins” tells the exciting beginnings and evolution of Crypto Art through the history and work of 50 of the best artists in the world who contributed to its birth and are still an active part of the present and future of its revolution with their NFT projects.

    CRYPTO ART – Begins presents Brendan Dawes

    Brendan Dawes is a British artist who introduces programming and artificial intelligence into his creative practice.

    His NFT works amaze with their ability to give an immediately material form to the references of digital culture, despite their extremely abstract appearance.

    WHO IS BRENDAN DAWES?

    At the heart of Brendan Dawes’ artistic journey is technology. As a child he received a computer as a gift and began to explore programming.

    He later pursued his passion by conceiving visionary projects as a designer. 

    His early works investigate how to translate the immateriality of the digital universe into something tangible. Inventions that take shape from his fascination with media. 

    HIS ART

    It was the work “Cinema Redux” that changed Dawes’ trajectory forever, bringing him to the attention of the art world. 

    In 2004 the artist published on his website an image that corresponds to a visual distillation of an entire film. 60 frames captured one minute apart are capable of translating an entire film into an immediate image.

    In 2008 MoMA decided to include “Cinema Redux” in its exhibition “Design and the Elastic Mind”. 

    It follows naturally, then, Brendan Dawes’ Crypto Art debut which happens in 2020 on KnownOrigin. 

    His work immediately attracts the attention of renowned collector NFT WhaleShark who celebrates his art for its captivating aesthetic and ability to shape digital imagery. 

    Generative processes involving data, machine learning and programming are part of his method. 

    “Black Mamba’s Revenge” perfectly expresses the fascination with pop culture and film typical of Dawes’ poetics. 

    The final fight scene of Tarantino’s cult film, “Kill Bill Vol.2” is processed by artificial intelligence to create estimates of the poses assumed by the actors as they move through the frame. 

    The pixels that make up the different positions are then fused together, transforming into fluid shapes that hover in the space of the image. 

    The result is an essential extract of the well-known revenge scene. The colors, the movements of the forms, everything recalls the atmosphere of the film. 

    A work on the reworking of mass culture references which is the conceptual evolution of “Cinema Redux” and which demonstrates Dawes’ ability to speak the language of the digital universe. 

    CURATOR ELEONORA BRIZI SAYS ABOUT BRENDAN DAWES

    Eleonora Brizi, curator and founder of Breezy Art, who curated for The NFT Magazine the selection of 50 artists featured in the book “Crypto Art Begins” writes about artist Brendan Dawes:

    “In his thought-provoking interview, Brendan Dawes compared art and technology to French New Wave cinema, which was born through a lighter camera.

    People started shooting from different angles and making films on the street, outside of any original intention of the inventors of that type of camera.”

    Bard Ionson: NFT technology is changing us

    Bard Ionson: la tecnologia NFT ci sta cambiando

    Bard Ionson is one of 50 artists featured in “CRYPTO ART – Begins,” the first NFT book to chronicle the history and evolution of Crypto Art

    “CRYPTO ART – Begins” chronicles the exciting beginnings and evolution of Crypto Art through the story and work of 50 of the world’s top artists who contributed to its birth and are still an active part of its present and future revolution with their NFT projects.

    CRYPTO ART – Begins presents Bard Ionson

    Bard Ionson is an artist who uses his knowledge of digital to produce art. 

    His works address the theme of reality in all its complexity and reveal how technology is changing us. 

    WHO IS BARD IONSON?

    Bard Ionson was born in Colorado and studied information technology and programming. 

    It is his technical skills that facilitate his path to digital art. In 2018 he lands in the environment of Crypto Art where he finds a welcoming dimension where he is free to share his art with true enthusiasts. 

    His NFT works thus began to gain visibility, inaugurating his career as a crypto artist.  

    The artwork “Desolation of Empire” by Bard Ionson

    HIS ART

    Bard Ionson is fascinated by experimenting with the distortion of reality. His art exists in the space between tangible and sensory reality, electronic reality and spiritual reality. 

    His artistic thought is declined through very different expressive means that are not limited to Crypto Art. 

    One of the techniques used by Ionson is scanography. The plane of the scanner is used to capture the image of anything that can be placed on it.

    Ionson plays with the images he created and collected, which are modified by inserting glitches, a metaphor for the transition between different planes of reality. 

    Ionson’s art can also break out of the two-dimensional dimension. Some of his works combine sound and animation, the result of his work with oscilloscopes, i.e. instruments for measuring energy, current and voltage.

    Bard Ionson’s reflection on reality and the digital is perfectly rendered by “Desolation of Empire”. 

    The reworking of the works of the English painter Thomas Cole is a starting point to narrate the end of art that speaks of the Western expansionist utopia in favor of a new art that highlights the corruption of contemporary times. 

    Cole painted the United States in its early days, illuminated by the light of the promise of empire. Ionson tells him that that dream is dead. 

    Fragments from the British painter’s paintings and Donald Trump’s campaign images are fused together by an expanse of glitch that drives the transition between utopia and reality. 

    The same taste for abstraction returns in “A Time to Protest”, an NFT work in motion that invites us to divide the time of emotions in an age dominated by instinct rather than reflection. 

    CURATOR ELEONORA BRIZI SAYS ABOUT BARD IONSON

    Eleonora Brizi, curator and founder of Breezy Art, who curated for The NFT Magazine the selection of 50 artists featured in the book “Crypto Art – Begins” writes about the artist Bard Ionson:

    “For Bard Ionson, technology is more than a tool; somehow it is changing the human mind and influencing the culture and world around us in ways we don’t understand. When introduced into a physical space, technology causes distortion and, in between, glitches happen.“

    Landscapes of the future in Anne Spalter’s NFT

    Anne Spalter is one of the 50 artists featured in “CRYPTO ART – Begins”, the first NFT book that tells the history and evolution of Crypto Art

    “CRYPTO ART – Begins” tells the exciting beginnings and evolution of Crypto Art through the history and work of 50 of the best artists in the world who contributed to its birth and are still an active part of the present and future of its revolution with their NFT projects.

    CRYPTO ART – Begins presents Anne Spalter

    Anne Spalter is an American artist and academic who works with new media and researches the theme of the encounter between art and technology.

    Her works are landscapes that use the representation of the environment to reflect the interior landscape with an aesthetic that is inspired by science fiction and urban reality.

    WHO IS ANNE SPALTER?

    Academic success goes hand in hand with artistic success in the career path of Anne Spalter, founder of the first digital art courses at Brown University and at Rhode Island School of Design. 

    La carriera accademica incontra continuamente la sua pratica artistica nella ricerca sulla fusione tra arte e tecnologia digitale. 

    The experimentation led Anne Spalter into the universe of Crypto Art, where she creates static and moving NFTs that reflect the distinctive elements of her artistic production.

    HER ART

    Symbolism is the key to understanding Anne Spalter’s art. A series of symbols recur cyclically in her production and, although extremely personal, they have the ability to stimulate universal responses.

    Urban elements meet UFOs from Sci-Fi stories and mirrors of water.

    Contemporary and fantastic panoramas are the protagonists of Spalter’s works and arise from the artist’s creative references ranging from the writings of Carl Jung to science fiction literature.

    The composition of Anne Spalter’s works plays with geometric patterns such as circles and spheres to balance the distribution of the elements depicted, while the color has a chronological function and reproduces the lights of sunset, dawn and dusk.

    The traditional manual work on the sign and the structure is combined with an innovative use of digital.

    In recent years, artificial intelligence has become part of Spalter’s creative process and she has begun to consider it as a creative partner.

    An example of this sui generis collaboration is “Fire Castle”, an NFT work that takes up the figurative theme of the panorama.

    The reworking by AI gives the work a dreamlike light generated by the combination of extremely detailed elements and elements that seem to have been lost in the memory of a non-human mind.

    The apparently romantic and peaceful scenery of a medieval village comes to life around a castle which is, however, surrounded by orange flames that interrupt the celestial sky.

    A tale of destruction set in an indefinite time between the distant past and the far future.

    WHAT CURATOR ELEONORA BRIZI SAYS ABOUT ANNE SPALTER

    Eleonora Brizi, curator and founder of Breezy Art, who edited for The NFT Magazine the selection of the 50 artists featured in the book “Crypto Art Begins” writes about the artist Anne Spalter:


    “In her magnificent interview, Anne Spalter discussed how we have always seen artists as lone creators. But thanks to the Blockchain that facilitates collaboration, creation is more like a film-like structure, with director or producer and with multiple groups of people working together. “

    Angie Taylor brings Punk to the NFT world

    Angie Taylor is one of 50 artists featured in “CRYPTO ART – Begins,” the first NFT book to chronicle the history and evolution of Crypto Art

    “CRYPTO ART – Begins” chronicles the exciting beginnings and evolution of Crypto Art through the story and work of 50 of the world’s top artists who contributed to its birth and are still an active part of its present and future revolution with their NFT projects.

    CRYPTO ART – Begins presents Angie Taylor

    Angie Taylor uses her artistic skills as a sculptor and 3D animator to shape digital sculptures that come to life in the Crypto Art universe. 

    His works offer a glimpse into the inner spectrum of the artist, managing to tell the experience of those who do not feel they belong to anything, with an irreverently Punk taste. 

     

    CRYPTO ART – Begins presents Angie Taylor

    WHO IS ANGIE TAYLOR?

    Angie Taylor lived her adolescence in Scotland in the ’70s: in the middle of the Punk period. Her belonging to this counterculture is the first element of strong influence in her work, in which we can find references to the attitude of rebellion and anarchy typical of the movement.

    In 1981 he moved briefly to Jamaica where he learned wood carving with a group of Jamaican Rastafarian friends. This experience merges with his Punk past and is reflected in his art which is characterized by a tribal essence. 

    Taylor returned to Scotland to study art and obtained a degree in sculpture and drawing. His artistic practice always goes hand in hand with political activity in favour of issues such as anti-racism and LGBTQ rights.

    The advent of the Internet is a revelation for Angie Taylor, leading her to embark on a long career path in animation.

    In the 1990s, the brave choice to leave her profession to devote herself entirely to art led Angie Taylor to rediscover her connection with sculpture through 3D animation and virtual reality. 

    HIS ART

    Rebellion, social criticism and introspection are the common thread running through Angie Taylor’s NFT works. 

    “Identity” (2022) shows us a creature hitting his own reflection in a bathroom mirror with a cell phone. 

    The play of reflections that causes the image to be reproduced three times conveys the sense of oppression of having to manage the conflict between interiority and appearance, especially in contemporary times.

    The destructive gesture is an act of rebellion against social impositions, a gesture of violence intended to awaken the spectator’s instinct of self-defence. 

    We find the same Punk aesthetic again in “Drug Prowling Wolf” (2022). 

    With this work Taylor gives a tribute image to “White Man in Hammersmith Palais”, with which the Clash sang the death of Punk. 

    The tribute conceals, however, a warning aimed at the Crypto Art movement: don’t lose yourself. 

    CURATOR ELEONORA BRIZI SAYS ABOUT ANGIE TAYLOR

    Eleonora Brizi, curator and founder of Breezy Art, who curated for The NFT Magazine the selection of 50 artists featured in the book “Crypto Art Begins” writes about artist Angie Taylor:

    “Of the many issues we touched on in the interview with Angie Taylor, the role of artists in society was one of the most interesting. In Neolithic times, professions were assigned to people based on their inherent abilities, not gender or social class. Today, however, we classify people according to categories.”

    CRYPTO ART – Begins

    The first NFT book that tells the beginning of Crypto Art with 50 of the movement’s best artists. 

    Published by Rizzoli illustrati (Italia) and Rizzoli New York

    In the digital era, between NFT and Metaverses, there is room for “CRYPTO ART – Begins”, a book that represents publishing innovation for the new Phygital bookstores now between print and WEB3.

    Over the past year, Crypto Art has swept through the Digital Art world and beyond, involving collectors, museums, and auction houses giving rise to a true digital revolution.

    It was led by visionary artists who promoted this unprecedented movement with new rules, overwhelming dynamics and innovative ways of enjoying art.

    This is why the book “CRYPTO ART – Begins” published by Rizzoli illustrati (Italia) and Rizzoli New York, was born, based on the idea and project of The NFT Magazine, the first monthly magazine to be read and collected on the Ethereum Blockchain.

    The book tells about this exciting movement through the history and works of 50 crypto artists – including HACKATAO, Refik Anadol, Kevin Abosch, Osinachi, Federico Clapis, Giant Swan, DADA.Art – who have contributed to the birth and are still active part with their NFTs – Non Fungible Tokens – of the present and future of this new world.

    A preview of thee physical volume of Crypto Art – Begins

    For the first time Andrea Concas –  Founder of The NFT Magazine – theorizes and defines the “Crypto Art System” by which we go beyond technological solutions, identifying its protagonists, along with the dynamics behind this revolution between communities, digital platforms and artists.

    Through dialogues with the artists and their works, the visions, aspirations, complexities, as well as limitations of a world that is all in flux and yet to be discovered, emerge.

    To tell the story for The NFT Magazine is curator Eleonora Brizi, a pioneer of the movement, who has lived side by side with artists, in unsuspected times, the great evolution and rise of Crypto Art, even before the disruptive descent into the market.

    Along with her, there is also the contribution of the first Crypto Art Historian Martin L. Ostachowski, who timely reconstructed the origins of the movement.

    “CRYPTO ART – Begins” is a groundbreaking book that finds its way onto the shelves of the best bookstores, bookshops and museums around the world, as well as into the Metaverse, with a virtual reality exhibition of all the artists involved, accessible through an NFT, which each reader can redeem for free within the book.


    Innovation does not stop, and for the first time, a prestigious publishing project enters the world of WEB3, to offer the opportunity for collectors to purchase a special collectible edition of the book exclusively in NFT.

    The NFTs with the Physical Books in limited editions

    The possession of the precious NFT, will entitle the holder to receive a preview of the physical book in its limited edition, whose covers celebrate the best works of the 50 artists, as well as giving access to numerous experiences between physical and digital, resulting in one of the biggest drops in the history of Crypto Art.

    The pre-sale of NFTs – scheduled for September 19, 2022 – will take place on Nifty Gateway, one of the world’s leading Crypto Art platforms. 

    The book “CRYPTO ART – Begins” will be available in all bookstores in Italy from November 8, 2022, in the United States in spring 2023, and on www.thenftmag.io through NFT.

    CRYPTO ART, we are only at the beginning…

    Partners of this editorial project are Art Rights, The Cryptonomist, The Breezy Art, NiftyGateway, The Nemesis.

    Interview with DOTPIGEON at Christie’s auction for “Trespassing”

    Interview with DOTPIGEON at Christie’s auction for “Trespassing”

    Running online until July 21 is Christie’s “Trespassing” auction curated by Ronnie Pirovino, which features among the lots the first sculpture by DOTPIGEON

    These are golden years for artist DOTPIGEON, who rose to prominence for selling NFT works, but with a solid career behind him and a great desire to bring out his artistic research.

    His face is anonymous, but his art is better known than ever, in Italy and abroad. 

    DOTPIGEON has one goal in creating his works: to explore the inner conflict between what we show to others and what we feel inside.

    His works are completely digital with a non-digital approach, and for Christie’s New York auction “Trespassing” curated by Ronnie Pirovino, DOTPIGEON was invited to challenge himself once again: he made a sculpture for the first time.

    It is “The Worst is Yet To Come?“: a resin sculpture painted black and placed on a base with the artist’s signature that reproduces himself, as in all his works, in the act of about to throw a Molotov cocktail.

    The estimate of the work is set between $10,000 and $15,000, but there is time until July 21 to bid starting from an auction base of $10,000.

    We had DOTPIGEON tell us about this first experience with sculpture as a digital artist.

    Preparing for your auction with Christie’s of a sculptural work, the first ever created by you: how do you feel?

    I am very excited, being – for the third time – in a Christie’s curated auction is always a very important milestone and being there with my first ever sculpture amplifies the emotions to the max. 

    I am very pleased with the result of this first experimentation in the sculpture medium, and frankly, I like it so much that I would like it in my home.

    As a digital artist, what was it like for you to approach a medium as novel as sculpture?

    Very long 🙂

    The entire process, from the initial sketches to the finished sculpture, took more than 3 months. 

    Times that are clearly not comparable to what I am used to. 

    It was very challenging but, to see the work-metaphorically speaking-grow, improve, fill in details and arrive, slowly, at what I had in my head, gave me rare satisfaction.

    I do not rule out in the most absolute way approaching sculpture again-in fact, something else, smaller, will come out as early as this year.

    What does “The Worst is Yet To Come” represent for you?

    I started working on the work immediately having returned from my trip to Los Angeles, the war in Ukraine had literally just broken out, Covid cases were beginning to rise again because of the Omicron variant, the economic crisis soared, and then the crypto crash also came. There never seemed to be a limit. Hence the title ‘The Worst is Yet to Come.’ It seems that the universe continually has something in store for us.

    How we decide to deal with this something, whether that molotov cocktail will serve to defend ourselves or attack, is up to us.

    Hivearium: the complete NFT and metaverse project by Roberto Giavarini

    Hivearium: the NFT project combining music, digital art, literature and metaverse

    In fact, Hivearium is an NFT and metaverse project born from the idea of a single artist, who both created the virtual works and composed the music, wrote the literary texts and devised all the concepts and organic form of the HIVE MIND metaverse. 

    In 2021, Giavarini formed the Hivearium Cryptoart team of which he is the artistic director, consisting of experts in 3D web design, front-end development, back-end development, marketing and financial consulting.

    How the Hivearium metaverse works

    Every collector who buys a Hivearium NFT will be able to see his or her artwork in the HIVE MIND metaverse, so that he or she will always be an integral part of the project and the community and have visibility for eventual sales. 

    Music is a constitutive part of the project. Giavarini composed Hivearium’s anthem THE HYMN OF BEES and composed 50 instrumental pieces, each a metamorphosis of the initial anthem. From harpsichord to rock to experimental pieces. The anthem can also be heard in the preview trailer. Giavarini recorded the piano version on an imperial Bösendorfer, the most beautiful piano in the world, valued at over 200,000 euros.

    Hivearium: the work made of 3570 NFTs by HIVE MIND MOTHER 

    Hivearium’s NFT project consists of the digitization of the physical work HIVE MIND MOTHER, a painting executed using a mixed technique on panel by Giavarini himself, who fused the techniques of ancient painting with new-generation chemical processes that he himself devised.

    This painting was digitized in very high-resolution 3D and fragmented into 2109 hexagonal-shaped parts, called L.O.D.A, which became 2109 NFTs. 

    An important thing to mention is that the team also intends the physical work of HIVE MIND MOTHER to be sold together with the corresponding NFT.

    Only 50 NFTs out of 2109 will have an embedded QR CODE that will allow the collector to receive another special NFT for free. 

    The Hive Mind metaverse

    The project is even more complex as Giavarini also devised the interactive HIVE MIND metaverse, a synaptic cosmic space in which one can immerse oneself in an exploratory journey to discover all the NFT works, each of which is a metamorphosis of the main work. The metaverse can also be enjoyed in augmented reality (or AR) through a VR 360 visor.

    Art instills a sense of wonder:

    HIVEARIUM ART IS ALSO GEO-LOCALIZED IN SPACE 

    100 works called geoNFT REVELATIONS are geo-referenced, i.e. geolocalized to 100 specific locations on earth and visible through augmented reality. The coordinates are inextricably linked to the respective NFTs and will therefore be immovable from the place where Giavarini has decided to exhibit. Planet Earth thus becomes an immense open-air museum.

    The idea transcends the boundaries of Earth and goes beyond the sky: 

    1 work will follow the route of the international space station so that the astronauts on board can admire it.

    30 works are geolocated at 30 precise points on the Moon.

    1 work is geolocated exactly at the centre of the Sun.

    20 works are geolocated at 20 locations on the planet Mars.

    When mankind reaches the red planet, Hivearium’s works will be there right now waiting for it.

    Hivearium has designed its own planetarium. Using a mobile phone, the position of the space station, the Moon, Mars and the Sun can be identified with extreme precision at any time of day, month and year.

    From there, one can admire the geolocalized NFT works on the celestial bodies. 

    In addition, in the metaverse of HIVE MIND, users will be able to become musicians, creating their own arrangements of the original Hivearium music using the mixer specifically designed by Hivearium Crypto Art and then dropping them as original NFT works in order to create a real community of artists linked to the project.

    The NFT Magazine: Giovanni Motta on the cover of the ninth issue

    The Italian crypto artist Giovanni Motta is the protagonist of the cover of the new issue of The NFT Magazine, dedicated to NFT Anime Manga & Comics

    Giovanni Motta is the protagonist of the cover of ISSUE # 09 of The NFT Magazine with a public drop scheduled for next 2 July.

    The artist was chosen directly by the Readers Club, the community of readers of the magazine which, thanks to the possession of the previous covers, has the right to vote both on the themes proposed and on the cover artist. The “Readers” were able to choose from a pool of names of great importance in the crypto landscape.

    The new issue of The NFT Magazine will be distributed in a limited edition of only 666 copies with a focus on Anime Manga & Comics’ NFT projects.

    There will be many insights on projects such as Punk Comics, DC Comics, but also exclusive interviews and insights on the subject.

    WHO IS GIOVANNI MOTTA?

    Giovanni Motta (1971) is a Veronese crypto art artist.

    He graduated in accounting and began working for the advertising sector. At the age of 49 he rediscovers his love for art and his artistic career is born.

    He defines himself as self-taught. His NFT works are the meeting of the past represented by his favorite subject – Jonny Boy, his inner child – and the present that is embodied in the middle, crypto art.

    He knows crypto art through his colleagues and friends Hackatao, one of the first crypto-artists, who showed him the fundamentals of the philosophy of this universe and introduced him to the SuperRare platform .

    Approaching such a technological medium was natural for him, for years he had gone from painting and drawing to working with 3D modeling and animation programs.

    His inspiration are the psychedelic graphics of the 80’s videogames and the artists of the Viennese secession. Influences that come together in an art that is visually very close to the aesthetics of Anime that explores the perspective of a curious child who faces the world.

    THE COVER

    The work on the cover, entitled ” Metaborg ” is totally unpublished, created by the artist exclusively for ISSUE # 09 of The NFT Magazine and is part of the ” Metaborg – Fight to survive ” project, an innovative Comic Book NFT written and designed by the same Giovanni Motta.

    Those who purchase The NFT Magazine ISSUE # 09 will therefore have the right to participate in the Comic Book drop scheduled for next 7 July on the Nifty Gateway platform , at midnight Italian time.

    The innovative drop will be divided into 3 works of art, “NEVER NEXT”, “ALWAYS”, and “ALONE”, available for a limited time of 15/30 minutes and will be open only for people who have obtained the Whitelist, including the owners of the # 09 Issue.

    HOW TO BUY THE NFT MAGAZINE?

    As for the previous volumes, distribution and sale are marked at different times, with priority access to holders who are part of the Readers Club , readers who have purchased previous editions and for those who have subscribed.

    The starting price for everyone is 0.05 ETH + gas fee, with the possibility of buying in FIAT currency as well as euros and dollars directly from the thenftmag.io Newsstand .

    Unsold copies will be burned to ensure the rarity of the edition.

    The appointment for the public Drop is therefore for 2 July 2022 at 18:00 CET.

    And you, are you ready to read and collect the new issue of The NFT Magazine?
