“It’s not that we’re being snobs,” said Gouzer. Unlike MakersPlace, Fair Warning vets new registrations, meaning Gouzer and his team will know the identity of the buyer of the NFT. Then Fischer will sell an NFT that combines all 1,000 “everyday” objects in a sale that’s reminiscent of Beeple’s EVERYDAYS NFT, which represents 5,000 artworks, since tokenized, of art drawn on each of the 5,000 preceding days.įischer’s subsequent sales on MakersPlace will feel quite different to the Fair Warning sales. Should Gouzer’s right brain end up booting out the poor, Fischer has 500 more NFTs on the way, each, once again, combinations of two everyday objects.įischer will sell these NFTs on MakersPlace, the NFT marketplace that Fair Warning partnered with for its NFT sale MakersPlace mints the NFTs and stores the metadata and assets on IPFS, a decentralized web hosting network.
“My right brain wants a big price and my left brain wants a low price so that anyone has a chance of getting a great work.” But there's also a part of me that just wants to sell at a price that makes it as democratic as possible,” said Gouzer. “I'm running a little auction house, so of course instinctively I want a high price. The bidding for the one-of-a-kind crypto collectible starts at a modest $1,000 and will conclude once Gouzer’s satisfied with the price. Urs Fischer, courtesy of FischerĪnd, due to the scarcity built into NFTs, there’s only one of Fischer’s NFT egg/lighter-combi on the blockchain. “The egg is such an absolute and stunning perfection-there are not many like it in nature,” said Fischer. Fire and the fertilisation of eggs were once purely natural processes, but humans conquered both: fire fits in our pockets and our eggs come from battery farms.
The egg and lighter NFT is a shrine to the power of humans, Fischer explained to Decrypt.
