Grift Graft #20

"Grift Graft" is an experimental generative art piece that attempts to highlight some of the inherent contradictions surrounding the discussion of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and its place as a vehicle for artistic creation, artistic expression and the potential of remuneration for artists.

To the extent possible, source code is dedicated to the public domain (CC0). Third party libraries are used that are not CC0 but are libre/free licensed, allowing for commercial reuse (see source for details). Artwork is copyright Caleb Harrington and is used with permission under a CC-BY-SA (3.0) license.

"Grift Graft" attempts to subvert the narrative that NFTs are only a vehicle for theft by offering a generative NFT that can be minted at no cost. "Grift Graft" offers an NFT to anyone that wants one, free of charge.

This work hopes to add to the conversation about examining the reality of the ecosystem that we've developed around digital goods and intellectual property.
