Highly recommend checking out Andreas' other work on https://ertdfgcvb.xyz/. Probably one of my favorite websites of all time, his body of work is what complete commitment to an idea looks like. Couple cool hardware projects in there too.

    From my experience in the generative art scene, there’s 2 main types of people making NFTs. There’s the crypto-first people who are into them for ideological or monetary reasons, and existing digital artists who saw it as a way to monetize their digital art and cash in on the gold rush.

    I have a ton of issues with NFTs and while I don’t love that a lot of my favourite artists got involved with them, I at least understand that perspective a bit more.

      Those are the same thing. Doing it for money is doing it for money.

      I do think there was a short period where established artists going into NFTs was understandable. If you’re still promoting yours in 2026, not so much.
