β¨ ABOUT THE ARTβ¨
Paying homage to OG crypto culture
At the intersection of art and digital innovation is the recursive canvas. As an artist working in the space between traditional art hierarchies and decentralized networks, King explores our understanding of art's value, authenticity, and ownership in the age of digital art.
"Art for the people!"" centers on two core beliefs: that all art is inherently recursive, building upon what came before, and that true artistic innovation in the crypto age is defined by a culture that brings everything into question. Including, what is art?
By building art from OG Ordinal inscriptions onchain, each "Art for the people!" piece becomes part of an immutable digital history, yet remains honored through its recursive connection. This tension - between permanence and evolution, between individual creation and collective meaning - drives an exploration of what art can be in a decentralized future.
The blockchain isn't just a medium; it's a metaphor for how art should work - transparent, accessible, owned by everyone and no one. In pushing these boundaries, "Art for the people!" doesn't just exist in the future (and the past!) of art, but helps shape it.
