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.

Fuku-Shiva
The term “Fuku” refers to fortune or good luck. “Shiva” refers to the Hindu deity who represents strongly polar qualities, both severe and delicate. On a beach inspired by adventures on Phi Phi island in Thailand, three youths cavort. Two are representational figures and the third is psychologically rendered. A dynamic relationship ensues between the triad; a reciprocity of active and passive states. The boy on the right engages in maneuvers of evasion, defense, and is dressed in a speedo which reiterates the colors and symbolism of the caution tape on the left and upper right frame of the composition. In concurrent reaction the psychedelic figure shoots out a rocket powered paper airplane. The nude boy seated in the froth and sand approaches in passive repose, and is met with active attention but equal physical reserve by the psychedelic being. Perhaps the most naked figure is also the least representational. Looming large, dynamic, and active, it engages its companions playfully. Various symbols interject into the otherwise naturalistic scene, most notably a beach ball and two contaminated barrels nested in the sand. The upright barrel reads “FukuShima” in Kanji. The barrel laying down reads “Dharma”. To the left the scene is bounded by caution tape, reiterating the danger of the nuclear waste while also hosting alien archetypes, whose presence, as is the nature of these entities, runs up and just behind the consciousness of the psychedelic figure’s eggshell-like skull.

trump 2020
This is a photo i took of my son playing around in one of our cat carriers, redressed to express the concern and damage the continuation of the trump administration could bring to the world in 2020 and beyond. Unlike the majority of my historic work found on opensea, all content was conceived and taken by me, so felt perfect to use as my first piece on Known Origin.
CryptoPunk #5217
The CryptoPunks are 10,000 uniquely generated characters. No two are exactly alike, and each one of them can be officially owned by a single person on the Ethereum blockchain. Originally, they could be claimed for free by anybody with an Ethereum wallet, but all 10,000 were quickly claimed. Now they must be purchased from someone via the marketplace that's also embedded in the blockchain.
