a massive 21,000 pixel per side square montage of 5,000 posted images
Toronto. A massive JPEG called ‘The First 5000 Days‘ was recently auctioned at Christie’s. The image was a collage of the daily posts made by the artist ‘Beeple‘ since the year 2007.
The collage sold for $69 Million US. What makes it truly unusual is that it was minted in February this year as an NFT or Non-Fungible Token. If you have never heard of NFTs, you are showing your age. These very risky items are online only. Read the above link for details.
A tip of the hat to my ever curious friend, George Dunbar, who shares these strange finds that he comes across while diligently researching photographic history.
