🧵 "Big Shot" - my first piece on @SuperRare.
This shot was captured just after last year's @TIMEPieces gallery at @NFT_NYC - a ripple through time and place that took me home to New York to display my work in a gallery for the first time.

Some details:
• Artworks may be minted or not at this point. Can be on @foundation@manifoldxyz or @TransientLabs. Art should be “new” and if minted not older than a few months.
• This exhibition exists beyond censorship, any and all art is acceptable regardless of its content.
• I have a theme in mind for my curation. How it manifests will become clear as the many artworks I select form a cohesive bond… and so we co-create. Here is the prompt:
Theme: Integration & Dissolution
“As we each find our steps along the hero’s journey of life, people, places and events leave indelible marks on the shape of our destined path. Who we once were, we now have outgrown. What we once believed, we now transcend. As we grow and we learn, life beckons us to evolve. Beyond the realm of knowing, we integrate our experiences into the fabric of being. Those among us who brave the depths of the unknown are forever transformed. Dissolve into art.”

Dear Community,
Today, we are thrilled to introduce FOTO World, a platform that will redefine the landscape of photo curation. As the founder of FOTO, I believe that every picture tells a story and that every story deserves to be heard.
FOTO World is more than just another platform; it celebrates diversity, creativity, and the power of visual storytelling. Our goal was to create an inclusive and empowering space for photographers from all backgrounds. We aim to break down barriers and build a community where diversity is not just welcomed, but cherished.
What sets FOTO World apart is our team of six talented and experienced photographers/curators, each chosen for their expertise and unique perspectives:
- @bajaninpdx
- @YamashitaPhoto
- @benskaarphoto
- @LindseyByrnes
- @Julie_Pacino
- @RUFF_DRAFT
These photographers bring their individual visions to our collective endeavor, making our curation truly special. Our approach to curation goes beyond mere selection; it's about storytelling, education, and forging connections between traditional art collectors and the Web 3 ecosystem.
In FOTO World, every photographer, regardless of their background or experience level, has the opportunity to showcase their work. We believe in the power of photography to connect people, transcend boundaries, and evoke emotions. It is important to emphasize a fundamental aspect of FOTO World: we do not charge any curation fees. This initiative is a labor of love, funded out of our own pockets and built on the invaluable time and effort of our dedicated team. We are here not for profit but to facilitate a new paradigm in the art world - curation by photographers, for photographers. This approach stems from our deep-rooted belief in supporting artists and ensuring that the beauty of photography is accessible and celebrated without financial barriers.
As one of the first multi-photographer curated teams in Web 3, we are setting a new standard in collaborative art curation. Our partnership with @TIMEPieces, @foundation, and @DirectoryDotArt has been instrumental in achieving our vision. @DirectoryDotArt, in particular, has been a key ally in developing the backbone of our democratic and anonymous voting system, ensuring fairness and transparency in our curation process. @TIMEPieces has been essential to FOTO, hosting many of our physical galleries during significant events such as Art Basel and NFT NYC. Similarly, @foundation has played a crucial role in championing artists' rights to own their narratives and enforce royalties, an ethos that deeply resonates with our own values as artists. We chose to partner and collaborate with these organizations because they have been pivotal in reinforcing our commitment to providing artists with the recognition and platform they deserve.
For us, FOTO World is more than just an art platform; it's a movement. It's a movement to bring the most captivating photographic art to the forefront of Web 3, to educate and inspire, and to foster a community where every photographer has a voice. We are venturing into uncharted territory, and as we move forward, I invite photographers and art enthusiasts to join us on this exciting journey. Whether you are an artist seeking a platform for your work, a collector looking for unique pieces, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of photography, FOTO World is for you.
Thank you for being part of our story. Together, let's capture the world through a thousand lenses, celebrate diversity, and usher in a new era of photographic art.
With immense gratitude and anticipation,
John Knopf
Founder, FOTO
