Description
AKA-21 Series (a.k.a AKA-21 NFT Treasure Hunt Game) is a series of 3D printed PLA sculptures generated by a computer program designed by the artist. The shape of each sculpture is derived from the shadow of a real artwork. Each form is unique yet nonetheless contains a larger and a smaller pyramid. Using a crawler program, the artist generated near 20,000 images from which 21 were randomly selected to materialize through 3D printing. As the objects were printing, the artist hid NFT access tickets within the shells of several sculptures. As the physical counterparts to an online NFT Treasure Hunt, the collector of this artwork must decide whether or not to cut open the sculpture in exchange for the potential NFT ticket inside.
