Siebren Versteeg and Arsnl present the NFT experience of a lifetime. A year long social experiment. Versteeg’s algorithms generate painterly collages that transform images of current events into works that are erotic, prophetic, sometimes terrifying, often humorous, and always revelatory.For a year, Versteeg will generate a new work every 10 to 15 minutes, using trending stories scraped from the internet as source material. Each work will only exist "for a limited time" before being replaced by the next. However, if a collector can’t bear to see the moment go, they can claim the work, cementing the art and their personal connection with time onto the blockchain. About 35,000 artworks will be generated, of which 750 can be "saved" or "curated" by collectors at their choosing over the course of the year. "What makes this project special to me is that Versteeg’s algorithm creates unexpected and often humorous combinations of imagery that subvert our expectations." - Dimitri Cherniak
