ERODE
Erode is an experiment into the future of NFTs. An NFT is basically a unique digital asset that is collected and traded online. This project explores what it would be like if digital NFTs – just like physical objects – were subject to the laws of nature, and does this by applying a gradual visual erosion to this supposedly unchanging asset every time it changes hands. Random Studio implemented an automated prototype that ensures that an NFT artwork of their hand ‘decays’ a little further with every transaction, thus linking analogue and physical qualities from the ‘real’ world to the otherwise so ‘pristine’ digital environment.
