Christie's to auction Beeple-NFT for $ 28.9 million



HUMAN ONE shows a 3D animated astronaut who the NFT artist Beeple can change and adapt to world events even after it has been created.

Beeple once again causes a stir with his astronaut NFT “HUMAN ONE”. In the 21st Century Evening Sale at Christie's auction house, anonymous interested parties from Switzerland and Hong Kong outbid each other before venture capitalist and blockchain enthusiast Ryan Zurrer secured the purchase online for $ 28.9 million.


This is "HUMAN ONE"

The work of art shows a 3D human in a space suit walking through changing climate zones. The new owner receives on the one hand a physical 3D statue of the astronaut and on the other hand the “dynamic” NFT. The Christies's website states that Beeple can modify the "visual components of HUMAN ONE by editing or adding ... the digital assets" so that the artist can comment on world events in real-time. Beeple himself emphasizes the special feature:

The design of HUMAN ONE allows the video, both in the physical object and in its NFT, to be remotely and seamlessly changed from the blockchain - so the message and meaning of this work can evolve over the course of my life.

While a traditional work of art is more like a finite statement frozen in the moment it was completed, this work of art is more like an ongoing conversation because of its unique ability to be updated.

Beeple, NFT artist 

The work of art is immortalized on the Ethereum blockchain. Physically, the statue is over 8 inches tall. Four interconnected video screens serve as walls. The viewer sees a 3D video with content like this:

Beeples NFTs outbid each other

This means that HUMAN ONE is (so far) the second most valuable NFT ever auctioned. Only another NFT Beeples with the name “ EVERDAYS : THE FIRST 5000 DAYS” was more expensive. This digital work of art was created by Beeple over a period of 13 years and shows 5,000 images in a collage. It was early March this year was sold for 69.3 million dollars. Christie's was the first renowned auction house to allow NFT art to be auctioned. Since then, however, digital works of art have been an integral part of the program.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...
