One and Three NFTs by Daniel Martin
Inspired by Joseph Kosuth’s One and Three Chairs, the collection consists of three digital versions of the same physical work – a still image, a video and a 3D model.
This provokes the question, which representation of the same artwork is deemed most valuable?
In the world of digital art distributed as NFTs, we are faced with new and similar questions regarding the true essence of an artwork. In the realm of traditional, visual art, the artwork is typically defined as the physical object. However, the advent of NFTs has blurred this line, ushering in a variety of new art forms and mediums enabled by the purchase of a digital token.
The nature of this auction challenges collectors to ponder and determine what they believe is the true artwork. Does the true artwork exist within the still image, the animation, or the 3D model? Alternatively, are all three NFTs fused into a singular work of art, as they are all based on the same physical piece? Perhaps one collector may choose to purchase them all, uniting them into a cohesive whole, but still with the possibility to sell them separately again later.
Ultimately, art remains elusive and the decision rests with each individual’s interpretation.
Auctions begin Thursday July 20th 2023 at 11:00 AM est
Each of the 3 NFTs are editions of 1 with a 1 eth reserve
Highest overall bid will receive the physical painting + Augmented Reality overlay through the free app Artivive. The winner will be announced after all three NFTs have had bids.
