An NFT collection that changes dynamically in response to the series’ own live market activity. The actions of GOLD collectors are part of this ever-changing series, where prices, levels of activity and provenance define the artworks.

How does the market affect the way we see art? In GOLD it literally influences the composition and imagery, with market forces manifesting inside the frame.

From a sale to a listing, from the amount of time an artwork is held to whether it has recently been flipped, all this data is recorded by the contract and reflected live in each GOLD piece, through optimistic colour schemes named after beach holiday destinations.

GOLD is a critical exploration of NFT market behaviour. It also explores how we see in digital environments, and how market networks influence how we see. Any reading of the compositions is fluid over time, as the iconography is in a constant state of change. The artworks present an abstract stream of changing meaning.

The series is 100% on-chain – the artworks are composed and rendered directly from the blockchain – with live data streamed from an Ethereum node. GOLD is released in partnership with Fingerprints DAO.
