Non-fungible tokens are one-of-a-kind, non-repeatable digital transferable assets existing in the blockchain, cryptocurrency ecosystem. The beginning of 2021 and peaking in March 2021, NFTs rose in popularity and became the subject of intense discussion due to the issues and implications for the art market and beyond. Some of these issues include: environmental impact, the perception of value, and lack of quality assurance.
This collection aims to explore some of those issues as well as the origins and future of NFTs. The artifacts collected are from digital news and commentary articles, social media posts, and YouTube videos.
