Robert Alice's 700 page celebration of NFTs is a rousing education on misconstrued technology
""Both Herzog and Asendorf in their own respective ways with Infinite Garden and PXL DEX have created technically complex work that uses the blockchain as a medium to create collaborative works that engage the collector," says Robert. "Speaking of engaging collectors, Sam Spratt's Monument Game and Butcher's Checks have both continued to express the convergence of game theory within digital art, alongside the idea of collector as co-creator in the work.""
""There is no world with AI without NFTs. In a world of exponential synthetic image and video generation, where you can't tell what is real or not, how will you be able to know an image of google is real?" asks Robert. "In a world of AI artists, what system will an AI feel most comfortable with, liaising with a gallery? Or a permissionless blockchain?""
Collections include 1960s computer compositions by A. Michael Noll, Rafael Rozendaal's patchwork art, generative WebGL works, and Anna Ridler's early NFTs, all tied to desktop viewing. Herzog's Infinite Garden and Asendorf's PXL DEX use blockchain as a medium to produce technically complex, collaborative works that engage collectors. Sam Spratt's Monument Game and Jack Butcher's Checks integrate game theory and frame the collector as co-creator. NFTs vary from classical-looking fine art to distinctly digital aesthetics. NFTs provide provable ownership and create a marketplace where artists control distribution, storage, buying, and trading amid AI-driven synthetic imagery.
