LIQUIDATION Three years ago, when I first entered the world of NFTs, I found myself asking a question I couldn't answer. Why do we collect digital objects? A file can be copied endlessly. An image can be saved in seconds. Nothing physically changes hands. For a long time, I thought I was trying to understand digital art. Eventually I realized I was asking the wrong question. The real question wasn't why people collect digital objects. It was... Why do we collect anything at all? Some objects survive. Others disappear. A museum carefully preserves a chair because it once belonged to someone important. Another identical chair ends up in a landfill. One keyboard becomes a historical artifact. Thousands of others become electronic waste. The object is almost never what changes. The story does. "Liquidation" began as an attempt to explore that idea. The collection recreates the inventory of a fictional office that is quietly dismantling itself. Every object receives an asset number. A condition report. A market value. A place inside a corporate archive. Office chairs. Desk lamps. Binders. Printers. Coffee mugs. Objects that were never meant to be admired. Only used. Some remain completely ordinary. Others begin to malfunction in impossible ways. A chair twists into itself. A microwave inflates like a balloon. Window blinds swallow an employee. A power adapter slowly fills with air. The office starts behaving like a dream that still insists on calling itself documentation. The visual language comes from the early internet. A time when websites weren't beautiful. They simply worked. Function mattered more than appearance. That forgotten design language became the perfect home for a company that no longer exists. At first glance, this collection looks like an archive. But archives preserve things we are afraid to lose. Liquidation exists because someone decided these things no longer mattered. And yet... Here they are again. Catalogued. Priced. Collected. Perhaps that's what art has always done. It takes the ordinary. Removes its function. Gives it a story. And suddenly we begin looking at it differently. Maybe value has never belonged to the object itself. Maybe value belongs to the attention we choose to give it. Liquidation isn't really about office furniture. Or nostalgia. Or the early internet. It's about the strange moment when something stops being useful... ...and starts becoming worth remembering. Liquidation Launching June 23.

The Cup survivor is a one-of-a-kind app that lets you pick your favorite team, and make each player unique. What we built is a way for you to decide how and when the art evolves. You start with Base sealed NFT, and when we mint out you randomly get your nation assigned. Those are the same images for all national items. After each knockout game, you will have to decide based on the outcome of the game: If your nation loses: - burn 5 loosers to get 1 winner (5 burned 1 minted) - 1 hour window -- you can't upgrade new minted after this game If your nation wins: - you can upgrade your base nation model with a prompt using one of your NFTs from your wallet - you get unique Player at that point - 1 hour window - after the upgrade to a unique character, you can NOT burn this item in next round if you lose to promote to winner We want to invite all projects and communities to use the app to make new and fun unique characters. Currently, we are showing how winners for @quirkiesnft @ChimpersHQ and @npconchain can look like if any project wants to limit the option for users to experiment and upgrade the characters please send DM so we can add it to the blocklist. more details will be displayed during the next day/days we are building this in public! The mint for @depunksClub members is now OPEN cupsurvivor.fun/
