Gen art by having no external dependencies avoided this. It eradicated time or better put, its delivery onchain signaled the end of its history. Minting achieved permanence, placing it beyond the pressures of time.
An “NFT Project” means nothing.
That’s like saying “An Internet Project”.
“I’m gonna launch an Internet Project”…
That’s cool, uhh, what does it.. do? And why? What’s the point? Is it a company orrr…?
NFTs are a type of technology, nothing more.
Important point:
This is a growing data set, it shows many projects, but additions from both older and newer projects much welcomed; I've now updated with a link to @0xchainArt's submission page
The use of computers was frowned upon in the art scene. "Everyone was scandalized, basically, no one looked at what I was doing; it seemed so terrible.” Other artists accused her of “dehumanizing” art. She however continued experimenting with computer art.

For The Culture
The story of the week in NFT land is ThreadGuy and the Opepens.
A lot of people are quick to dismiss this as influencer nonsense, teenage drama, engagement farming, or something of that ilk.
I posit that the entire story is a celebration of the creator economy, art, web3, and personal branding, in a truly beautiful way.
I just released my full writeup on it, which you can find here: https://t.co/zAv2naOiCk
NFTs are unique, programmable assets giving the owner rights over Ethereum state & anything in meat space honoring it. @ercwl & now @nic_carter Orbs explore the vale at the interface between state and space. And exemplify cryptography tools that can empower individuals.
What is Nic's Orb?
It's a 1 of 1 NFT that grants the holder the right to ask me questions weekly. While there's no mechanism to force me to answer, failures are recorded immutably on chain (and should be reflected in the price of the orb)
See Eric's Orb for an example of how this works: https://t.co/CT64HqgTKt
An creator is never truly 'done' with something they have made. There are always ways it can be improved or made 'better'. But I find that if you can look at something you've done and think 'wow, I did that?', then that is a fairly good recognition of its 'completeness'.
Great to see the dynamism reflected directly from the chain on @0xDecaArt.
Fully onchain ever-changing music & fully onchain ever-changing painting, together with no clutter.
If you click the pieces, you'll see the fully onchain ever-changing poem too.

@p_s_horne An ERC721 (NFT) contract has a list of unique tokens with an account associated, and methods (transfer, mint, getmetadata). ERC20 (fungible tokens) has a list of unique accounts each has a balance of tokens. Does that make sense?
