Were SuperRare's first 100 creations the leader of the NFT avatar?

With the rise of NFTs, more and more artists are joining the passion to create avatar-type NFTs. Famous crypto artists XCOPY, Coldie, and Hackatao have announced their own series of NFT avatars. As Avatar NFTs have become more popular, there is more discussion about the shortcomings of single, multiple, and serial NFTs, and the relationship between multiple and price appears to be weak.

In addition, in recent years, the first encrypted works of the SuperRare platform have reappeared in the human imagination, and more and more people are interested in multi-version work on the SuperRare platform, and in casting. of multi-version. NFT is a feature. from SuperRare early to the next generation. Artists cannot cast works by many, instead those who work with multiple editions will become the smallest group on the platform.

The author of this article is artist Oliver Scialdone who interviewed three artists OG Coldie, Hackatao and Paulius to discuss the incredible of crypto art and how crypto art will change in the future.

Coldie was an OG crypto artist and author, and when he first saw the work of artist Paulius Uza, he knew it was a must-see. It was in 2018, a few years before NFTs came of age. Coldie bought three copies of "New York Marine Park" and "Dreams of Titans. Titan" and "Ships" for $ 25 per room. Each painting offers a beauty that is both futuristic and classic, depicting sadness, loneliness and concealment with rough brushes and skin tones. Today, Coldie has registered three photographs for US $ 500,000.

It was only natural that Coldy sold it at a high price. One reason is that the performance is high, and the other is that our figure is among the first 100 works sold on Super Rare. At the same time, Super Rare has also taken over the camera. Many scripts work. SuperRare can only stream one version of an encrypted image and each frame is 1/1, but at that time some 100 graphics were multi-faceted, some had 3 versions, some had 5 or 7 a lot of different things. . Recently, the interest of writers in these works has started to increase, and some people have started to write these works without the knowledge of the NFT. The reason why we want to have a history of the first crypto advances.

Ironically, works of art are less common because there are more versions.

In 2018, the crypto art community couldn't be smaller. "At that time, there were only about 20 or 30 SuperRare users." Paulius said when talking about the first version of the SuperRare artwork. The first 100 SuperRare productions were produced by 13 artists, and in addition to Coldie and Paulius there were also some of the finest artists such as Robbie Barrat, XCOPY and Hackatao. At the time, Paulius was not an expert, but was working in the financial industry while also practicing his hobby, and the point was that he already had some understanding of blockchain. In his view, NFTs solve a difficult problem for digital artists. First, how to get clients to understand the work and how to sell the work, these issues cannot be solved for digital artists. However, NFT in 2018 is nothing more than a test of the human eye.

Emoji Waap》 Hackatao

Hackatao was created by two artists - Nadia Squarci and Sergio Scarlet - and is known for its unique style and extension to art history, community, and meta-universes. SuperRare projects, 22 were those of Hackatao. Hackatao's “You Win or You Die” and “Emoji Waahp” are seven art forms, but they also have rich themes in other works. For example, "Vitalik Buterin says no" pays taxes to the founder of Ethereum, and SuperRare runs on the Ethereum network. Of the Top 100 Graphics, this is the most important since it was first released by SuperRare. The girl with different face wears sunglasses and swears inscribed on the sunglasses. “It seems to encourage us to talk nicely to the old world,” Hackatao said. For them, this job is ideal for them to "create work" in SuperRare. because he has a broad sense and speaks to him directly.

I was very disappointed with the Milan art exhibition and all areas of traditional art, and seeing the comments on blockchain in a tech magazine got me excited about how useful this tool could be. to artists. During their research, they read another article on cryptography by Jason Bailey, titled "Enlightenment." They quickly called the author, who helped contact Jonathan Perkins, co-founder and CPO of SuperRare.

Hackatao "The Next Girl"

There are three books "Dreams of Titan" and "Ships" and another book by Paulius "Scavengers of Cairo". Ironically, works of art are even rarer with the variety. However, this proves that these NFTs have very good historical value. 2018 is just four years ago, and in those four years, NFTs have seen explosive growth. Coldie originally bought paintings by Paulius at a very low price, but Coldie now costs between 125 ETH, 125 ETH, and 150 ETH, or around US $ 500,000 each. He set this price because he believed that these works were worth the money. For Coldie, it's not just an investment that is funded and hidden, it deserves praise.

“In fact, at first we all saw it as an experience. We just wanted to understand this new technology and understand how it works,” Hackatao told SuperRare. According to early participants such as Coldie and Paulius, they saw the transformation and transformation of the crypto art community, there were initially more artists than writers, but they are still here today. Hackatao also pointed out that the technology "is bringing the distance between art and finance closer together ... The field has found a place where there is no hope that the art industry has always existed due to the importance of its central space, so many artists and writers need to understand the basics of blockchain, operations, and financial literacy. "Some writers may start painting, some accomplishments, others learn about the work of an artist, and other writers learn about community and get involved. . "

When Coldie first published the NFT, he defined "law" and used a portion of his profits to buy other artists. There are a lot of people who raise NFTs, but most of them are interested in how to make money with NFTs. However, Coldie saw the event unfold, and that more and more artists became writers. Its very important. Artists themselves can identify what works best and can help artists whose work is good but not popular. At the same time, he wants artistic artists to keep abreast of the latest technology on NFT. There are a lot of works by artists that are good but not for sale. I think the pyramid effect will happen again, and that will make a lot of good artists. Many will say, “Oh, I am not Hakatao”. , so no one will buy my work. And another thing that really saddens me is that a lot of artists refuse to admit themselves. "

With the hindsight of his first 100 pieces, Hackatao benefits from the immediate interest of writers and artists in primitive art. They think, "Some people think this is a beginner stage piece, not the best performer." This idea is different. They broke down the artistic and historical significance of the work. “How do we determine that time is of the essence for artists in a growing space? What professions will be recognized as their creations? I want people to be passionate. for work rather than looking at the prettiest, most energetic, or most star-studded work, but that's what we need to learn in a new, fast-paced world. "

Coldie, Paulius, and Hackatao also have the same hope for the future as cryptographers.

Catch (Lub Catch) Paulius

Paulius said she looks forward to the participation of many professionals, especially musicians, in crypto art. At the same time, he is dedicated to researching and contributing to the development of blockchain technology and finding ways to continue to be more useful in the field of crypto. His most recent work, “Foreverlands,” is an action-packed game using blockchain technology, in which players must purchase game coins, exchange them for special NFTs, and toss them into their shopping cart. NFTs are ultimately delivered to players, and player rewards can be earned based on what they choose in the game. He curated the artwork in conjunction with SuperRare, Rarible, Flare Finance and others. platforms. Players also have the chance to earn some of the best cryptic graphics. It's amazing, but the newest thing is art. Shipping and Buying Method - Crypto art isn't just a business, it's a strong community, and Paulius takes the idea of ​​building community to a new level with Foreverlands.

《Reines Rois》 Hakatao

Likewise, Hackatao's latest project "Queens Kings" uses blockchain technology as part of the artistic medium. Smart contracts are not only a way to identify the authenticity of a work of art, but also a creative tool. This is an avatar project in collaboration with NFT Studios and Sotheby's. The graphics embody the unique characteristics of the Hackatao Project and are inspired by the culture of meta-space. Custom “artist design, writing” and “house writing” principles for writers. In existing avatar plans, attributes are provided by the algorithm and cannot be changed. The first steps of "Queen's Kings" are the same, but the author can then divide the avatar into pieces and mix them as needed. Attitudes are interchangeable, so vendors can buy and sell them, and ultimately, smart contracts make NFTs more unique and impactful for each individual style. As the project progresses, Hackatao may keep releasing new features, giving you endless work.

Encryption is a pretty big deal, but now that Paris Hilton and Snoop Dogg have arrived, everyone seems to be making their own NFTs, and major news outlets like CNN have comments on NFTs as well. So, did the NFT get right to the point, as some critics believe? Of course not. But now newcomers are very concerned about the media and the community. NFT Deep Player begins to benefit from the first 100 developments of SuperRare. We can see in them what inspires crypto artists to start creating. Contains: a keen interest in exploration, a desire for the future, curiosity and a connection between art and technology. If you look at everything that has happened so far, everything that is new has continued to evolve and change and evolve, and what has not changed is the desire to 'innovation. These new devices are difficult to define, but crypto technology is still in its infancy and advancing rapidly. The next road is long and full of ideas.
