Alien Punk with a Pipe

The punk #7804, one of the 9 aliens of the 10K Cryptopunks collection, the OG of the NFT art, has been described as the Mona Lisa of our times. It sold for $7.5M in Mar 2021.

This work is a part of my Blending Worlds Collection, which explores the ever thinning line between the material and digital worlds we live in. From hunter-gatherers to agricultural and industrial revolutions, to software eating the world, and now with digital scarcity, the definition of 'real' is questioned every day. How real is a work of art if it's born and exists only on blockchain? What if it's value is in the tens of millions of $? The writing is on the wall if you care to decipher it.
