Something, 2020
The artwork is divided into 196 pieces.
Each of them is called ‘A Piece of Something’ and represented by a non-fungible token (NFT). All the metadata is recorded and stored on blockchain. These “fractions” represent the ownership of the both digital and physical piece.
If one wishes to own the entire physical 1:1 painting he/she/it must collect all the tokens (The remaining 104 available on the market, since they still represent the majority vs. 91 pieces that are currently in Olive’s possession).
One can request the hi-res image of the piece they own with the artist’s digital signature.
If one collects 13 ‘Pieces of Something’ he/she is entitled to a signed fine art print (UPDATE: 91 Pieces were exchanged for 7 fine art prints). 7 signed limited edition ‘Something’ prints have been released together with 1:7 digital NFTs that represent them.
