NFC POP FRUIT

The current artwork you are viewing, NFC BANANAS IN BLACK, WHITE & POP COLOR, are an experiment that tests how we connect new forms of technology and art into an interactive artwork allowing the viewer to experience both a physical IRL (in real life) artwork and its handheld digital representation.

The small floating circle visible in two of these artworks is an NFC or Near Field Communication tag which is a set of short-range wireless technologies, typically requiring a distance of 4 cm or less to initiate a connection. NFC lets you share small payloads of data between an NFC tag and a smartphone.  In this instance, the Tag sends the smartphone user to a webpage that is a digital representation of a photographic artwork that has been represented previously in the physical form of a large-scale photographic print on metal but is now housed in an NFT* or non-fungible token which is a unique digital identifier that is recorded on a blockchain and is used to certify ownership and authenticity.
