dear designboom reader,
from architectural icons to music superstars, NFTs seem to be taking the world by storm right now. digital artist beeple and madonna recently revealed 'mother of creation', a series of nude, graphic NFTs depicting the pop icon 'giving birth to art'. as usual, the internet was torn.
in less controversial news, AI artist refik anadol transformed the facade of antoni gaudí’s iconic casa batlló into a dynamic NFT that changes depending on data collected in real-time. marking it the first UNESCO world heritage building that has been reinterpreted in NFT form, the artwork was auctioned off at christie’s on may 10 for $1.38 million.
thanks for reading!
