«Capital. Because future is known» is a unique Phygital AR NFT of the NEW NATURE Series. This is a combination of the tactile physical object and NFT. Like fossils and other remnants that preserved bits of information from extinct eras, this art piece encodes and stores fractions of the algorithmic era in a fossil snapshot – 1 million year old artifact remaining as the key to contemporary metaverses through AR.

This is a talisman for investing shaman. Those who believe that the future is unknown are deceived. Capital acts like medium or shaman, transforms human desires to mass produced predictive models of the future. By knowing and shaping they guide the present. Scenarios of the future replace the present as the structured condition of the time.
