Arts & Poetry - Vol. 2
In this second volume, we break new ground – adding GIF and video functionality with poems and visual art from 20 of Web3's rising stars, including Jono, Futuradora, Mark Fitzpatrick, H.C. Holter, and many more.
Featuring voices from around the world – Africa, the Americas, Europe and Australia – this is a unique literary NFT which engages the eyes and ears, the heart and mind.
Because this is an interactive token, I recommend activating “advanced mode” in the Objkt interface to enjoy all its functionality – and to turn up your volume, since one of the pieces enhances the words and visuals of the poet’s work with sound.
A key feature of this piece that I wanted to highlight is that every contributor receives an equal share of all sales – 1/20th of the initial sale price and the secondary royalties. This is a much more equitable approach than that of traditional journals – and an example of the way that NFTs can improve collaborative, cooperative approaches to valuing the work of poets, artists, and other creatives!
It is also a cross-chain project – there will be copies on the Polygon blockchain through the “Readl” platform, which (like Objkt) features a simple method for organically splitting creator payments across 20 wallets.
Future volumes will be released simultaneously (and at similar price points) on Polygon and Tezos – and we will look to bring on support for Solana, Cardano, and Ethereum in the future, in order to promote the spread of poetry and art in a way that allows collectors to connect with art regardless of which blockchain they prefer.
