Via Sofia Crespo:
"In late 2020, I started focusing more deeply on the natural world and available data on it, noticing that only a few species dominated social media...
What I discovered was that the majority of species outside the larger, mammalian specimens we are likely to encounter at the zoo, no voices can be heard. The last call for the vast majority of the ever growing list of critically endangered species goes unheard...
I therefore strived to create this work as a reflection of limitations: limits in what we know, limits in what our technology can achieve. At its heart 'critically extant' pushes the question of can we hope to ever manage to recreate even an approximate likeness of these fading presences?"
'nah' by Alpha Centauri Kid sells for 45.5 ETH ($114,408 USD) to LitAndSmitten2 from rhynotic-vault.
The 1/1 artwork was originally minted in October 2022 and released with quite a twist.
Via Alpha Centauri Kid on 10/3/2022:
"Given the memetic value of this piece I thought it best to go ahead and mint and share the site again, this time with an actual piece up for grabs. I figured most would be like “ugh, again?” Lol but you know…nah. Congrats Rhynotic for being quick."
After teasing an artwork website for a prolonged stretch, Alpha Centauri Kid made it functional in a flash, and not only that, he made the artwork free. Rhynotic acted first and acquired it for a tx fee of just $7 USD at the time.
The present day sale takes place via the new ack.art and is brokered by Eli Scheinman.
