22/11/2021 Land Art is Exploding in the NFT World

Amidst rising global wealth, resurging interest in blockchain, and a shift in cultural prominence towards digital experiences, NFTs have become a powerful medium for art.

Next Earth, an NFT-based replica of Earth, has seen tremendous growth over the past year. They recently released an update with major new features including Land Art, which allows users to create art on Earth using colored tiles.

Next Earth has built its community by giving users more ways to own unique lands in the metaverse. This represents an ongoing shift in our culture towards experiences over products, and digital worlds where users can express themselves freely are becoming more prominent than ever before.

Let’s look at 5 cool new Land Art pieces created by Next Earth users.

1) Sonic Landart in Ibiza

Sonic the Hedgehog is an iconic video game character and a global cultural icon. A Sonic piece was created by Next Earth user Onyx. This character holds a nostalgic significance as a generation of gamers grew up with Sonic.

It’s also a piece that offers a fun, whimsical take on the world. It evokes feelings of nostalgia and joy, which is hard to achieve in an art piece without being too sentimental. This Sonic Landart stands out as a personal homage to one of the most influential video games ever released, while also representing a sense of optimism for the future.

Whether or not a piece is a hit with the community is irrelevant. Everyone has their own interpretation of what art is and how it should be used, and that’s one of the exciting things aboutNFTs.

2) Halloween Cat Landart

Next Earth user Nollis created a whimsical piece that combines a popular holiday, Halloween, with a pop culture icon. This may go down in the metaverse history books as creative use of NFTs.

The Halloween Cat Landart is a dark black cat standing in front of an ominous-looking blue sphere. The entire background is shrouded in dark colors and looks like it could be from any corner of the world.

In context, this piece represents many different things to different people, depending on their age and cultural heritage. It’s part of Next Earth’s goal to build up an ecosystem where users can express themselves freely without censorship or barriers, so what someone thinks or feels is just as important as what they create.

3) Real Estate Cryptopunks

Cryptopunks is a famous NFT project, but the pieces are now too pricey for most people to own. Next Earth user JH87 created a real estate version of Cryptopunks called Cryptopunk 3443 + 9280, for just 1.5 BNB.

This piece features two iconic images in one.

4) Godzilla

Godzilla is more than just a mythological beast. He’s a global cultural icon and a pop culture phenomenon that has been referenced and parodied in hundreds of movies, shows, and books.

Next Earth user Nollis created an NFT piece called Godzilla Attack. The artwork is rendered in detail to look like the famous monster from the movies. This is another piece that brings together two of Next Earth’s core values: Art and technology.

It’s special because it represents something so big while also being detailed yet nostalgic — two qualities associated with pixel art today. Looking carefully at Godzilla’s legs and tail, you can even see it make ripples in the water.

5)Doge

Doge is a viral Internet meme that has become a pop culture phenomenon. It has been used countless times as a form of online expression and is now more famous than ever.

Next Earth user with the pseudonym “Trump” created a piece called Dogecoin Dubai Burj Al Arab. It’s rendered as a pixel Doge character, below a flag.

Doge is both an art piece and a message to send people — it can mean anything you want it to mean, which makes it an important part of art history and modern culture.

Takeaways

Land art is fast becoming a global phenomenon and NFTs are responsible for bringing people together across borders and cultures. We’re all citizens of the metaverse now and we’ll see the virtual world expand into every aspect of our daily lives.

The Next Earth team is working tirelessly to build a trulydecentralized metaverseand we believe they will succeed in their vision for a truly free world. Their approach is innovative and forward-thinking, while still firmly rooted in the blockchain community which has already welcomed them with open arms.

Auto-Erotic Sphinx with Toys
In this image, a giant sphinx spoons itself in erotic play within an aquatic styled environment littered by various denizens. These creatures include symbols and archetypes both current and nostalgic–each inhabiting a rootedness within mass cultural adolescence. Among the roster are Servbots, video game inspired mushrooms, a Pacman-like creature, a distant sea faring rubber duck, creatures sporting the symbols reminiscent of popular anime, and a Pokemon-like rabbit (a novel incarnation of Ganesha indicated by the Shiva trident on its nose). In addition, a few sea creatures partly inspired by sea monsters of western antiquity conglomerate along the mid left side of the composition. The Sphinx itself is an amalgam of aquatic, fetishist, ancient Egyptian, and 80’s style adornments, both living, as in a clown fish, or material, such as a cassette tape. Nautically colored antennae receive somatic signals from the atmosphere, perhaps from the 8 Ball moon or giant ringed planet beyond.
The Rare Pearl Moon with Motion
Motion Version Part of my moon series. This super rare pearl moon has just washed ashore on a remote tropical island beach, fining one of these rare Jems is like a total worldly treasure! These moons, only fall to earth once in a few million years! When I found this one I felt the luck that is said to come with this pearl moon.
Right Place & Right Time (bitcoin hourly price offset)
Each day, a new composition for the Master is generated autonomously using a data feed of Bitcoin's last 24 hours of price action. Each hour's price programmatically controls rotation, scale, and position of a correlating layer. Astute viewers will surmise the day's price volatility simply by examining the artwork. While the daily image generation is the result of autonomous API calls, utilizing an algorithm the artist wrote, the artist has chosen to retain a control token. This token allows him to fine-tune variables associated with his algorithm, in addition to addressing aesthetic concerns within the life-cycle of the artwork. Layer state, alpha, hue, saturation, and brightness are elements the artist has retained control of in order that this artwork remain a living work-in-progress. An earlier iteration of this artwork was featured as a nightly projection mapping video on the face of the Daniels Fisher Clocktower, as part of ETH Denver 2020. Access to this and additional exclusive content awaits the master token owner at the artist's NFT Portal: https://collect.mattkane.com/minted-works/right-place-right-time-bitcoin-hourly-price-offset/
