@TeleNFT transforms teletext, one of the oldest digital broadcast systems, into a living art medium.
What once carried news and subtitles on analog TV screens now hosts contemporary artworks - fully on-chain teletext art broadcasted on teletext across Europe.
Its guiding principle comes from Marshall McLuhan’s phrase “The Medium is the Massage” - a printing error that McLuhan embraced for its layered meaning. The “massage” suggests how media doesn’t just deliver messages, but shapes our senses, habits, and emotions.
Teletext’s low resolution, its flickering colors, its limits of 78×69 pixels - all of it massages perception. It slows us down, making us feel technology instead of just using it, revealing how emotion, critique, and beauty can emerge even from the simplest digital code.
In that friction between old systems and new networks, TeleNFT finds a poetic space where digital art, mass media, and human experience converge. Founded by
@UzupisMUC and
@musicalblockchn, TeleNFT connects generations of media: from the golden age of teletext to the new digital avant-garde.
