As requested, Token 1 is special, presented to the collector who paid the most for a RarePass. No image in this series contains more pixels than Token 1.
Bound by words, liberated by art. RarePass marketing promised a chance to "Cement your legacy in the cryptoart revolution." Inspired by Sarah Zucker's 2021 observation that "Crypto Art has a unity of Spirit but not Style" and echoing Jason Bailey's 2018 notion of crypto art's pro-artist, self-referential dank nature, I turned to cutting-edge artificial intelligence. Herein, my text-prompt reflections unravel myriad cultural issues, moments, and styles.
Contrasting the gigapixel intricacy of my signature work, this collection embraces the ethos of "Low Effort NFTs," staying true to AI's default resolutions and resisting the urge to upscale. Conceptually, however, I was unable to abide to low effort. Within the crypto realm, both 'bridge' and 'burning' resonate with literal and metaphorical significance. Each of these 250 NFTs, on one level or another, grapples with the theme of burning bridges—often taboo in many cultural circles, yet an essential tactic in wars and the most genuine revolutions of both culture and the soul of individuals yearning to break free from extractive systems of co-option.
