We’ve just released our new NFT card collection. At this point, it feels like I, Takashi Murakami, am the only one left in the art world still putting out NFTs. Just recently, we also released an NFT project by Mr. through my company. Creating art, for me, holds several meanings. One is to push forward at the cutting edge of the times, to carve into uncharted territory, and to create entirely new standards of value. Another is to engage in a profound exchange with the collective consciousness of people. So I’m trying to explore the relationship between collective value and beauty within the blockchain space—something that may not be understood now, but perhaps will be recognized far in the future. Sure, it probably look like a fool’s errand right now. Yet… I’m going to insist on being the fool, all the way through! This time around, I clumsily used AI to animate illustrations of myself and my beloved late dog, POM, as navigators—and made them speak English for fun. I hope you enjoy! In January 2024 @takashipom released 108 Flowers... now they return — refreshed, expanded, and reborn. Murakami’s universe grows with 108 Flowers Revised NFTs. 🌸 Now minting as part of Onchain Summer on @baseapp 👉
