For a Limited Time
Siebren Versteeg
Siebren Versteeg and Arsnl Art present the NFT experience of a lifetime.
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.
A year long social experiment, a new work was created every 10 to 15 minutes using trending stories scraped from the internet as source material. Each work existed "for a limited time" before being replaced by the next.
If a collector couldn’t bear to see the moment go, they claimed the work, cementing the art and their personal connection with time onto the blockchain.
