rencies and create NFTs? Art seems to be moving

FAST, faster than I can keep track of myself.

Everyday I wonder how much further we can take

art. With 3D art softwares like Blender we can make

sculptures on a screen which leads us to be able to

create virtual worlds, I mean have you ever played

a VR game? You are essentially walking around in

an art piece, a completely immersive experience!

These experiences are also available without the

headsets at museums which use projectors, moving

sculptures, and even robots! Performance art has

gone to another level and it seems almost impossi-

ble to see it developing anymore but it will. There is

so much awe involved and it’s all so shocking it re-

ally is hard to see past all that glamour, There are so

many possibilities for art to create an even bigger

footprint on the world we live in and make this plan-

et even more cruel than it is. We need to talk about

this, nothing is all good, not even art. The materials

used to produce all this awe inspiring technology

is mined by child slaves in Africa, those NFTs are in-

creasing our emissions and killing our planet faster,

newer paints equal newer pollutants and factories

to create them. As art progresses so should our ac-

tivism so that this beautiful outlet does not tip the

scales in the wrong direction, art is supposed to

bring beauty not cruelty remember that.
