BEEPLE - EVERYDAYS: THE FIRST 5000 DAYS (2007–2021)
@beeple
Tumblr media
About The Artwork
EVERYDAYS: THE FIRST 5000 DAYS is a digital work of art created by Mike Winkelmann (b. 1981), better known as Beeple, an American digital artist, graphic designer, and animator known for selling NFTs. The work is a collage of 5000 digital images created by Beeple for his EVERYDAYS series from start to finish, every single day from May 1st, 2007 to January 7th, 2021. Its associated non-fungible token (NFT) was sold for $69.3 million at Christie’s in 2021 to Singapore-based programmer Vignesh Sundaresan, known online by his pseudonym MetaKovan, making it the first of the most expensive non-fungible tokens (NFT). Beeple used Cinema 4D and Octane in most of the images for this project.
Visual & Formal Qualities
Through careful observation of the artwork, I realized that the top left artwork represents the beginning of the project in 2007, so the EVERYDAYS series consisted of basic drawings, but once Beeple started working in 3D and focused on one skill or medium per year, as he did with Cinema 4D in 2015, they took on abstract themes, color, shape, composition, value, and repetition. In the last five years, however, his digital images have become increasingly timely, often reacting to current events. Beeple has stitched together recurring themes and color schemes to create an aesthetic whole. Organized in loose chronological order, zooming in on individual pieces reveals abstract, fantastical, grotesque, and absurd pictures, alongside current events and deeply personal moments. Society’s obsession with and fear of technology; the desire for and resentment of wealth; and America’s recent political turbulence appear frequently throughout the work.
Associations & Connotations
This project reminds me of British artist Tom Judd, who did a drawing every day for a year. Some of the 5,000 images involve figures from pop culture, including Jeff Bezos and Donald Trump, and are arranged chronologically. And some of the earlier images are hand drawn and not computer produced using design programs like Adobe Illustrator and Cinema 4D. Once you thought Beeple had been creating new artwork and posting it online for the world to enjoy without missing a single day for the past 5,000 straight days, you realized the value of this artwork. That is why it sold for an incredible price of $69.3 million. Beeple has taken us on an evolutionary journey, not only of his immense evolution and development as an artist, but of our community as a whole.

NTF is just money laundering done fancy
If you cut through all the singularitard technobabble about some digital artist making a ludicrous amount of digital money in an auction, you find that the real story should really be  about the buyer - a shady, faceless entity calling himself Metakovan, who conveniently also runs the mayor NTF handler, Metapurse.  Turns out Metakovan has been cornering the market of NTF art creations for some time, thereby successively increasing the nominal value of mr beeple_crap´s digital NTF creations long before he made it into Christies. 
I think it’s fair to say that Metakovan and beeple_crap have been very beneficial for one another, and yet they’ve never been spotted in the same place for some reason. And of course, until beeple_crap actually cashes some of his checks, all that money he’s been given by Metacovian and Metapurse remains hypothetical, since NTF operates on the same fiat currency market as bitcoin. Funny how that all works out.
For all of you art nerds who are as bored of Bitcoin as I am: this is essentially Damien Hirst’s diamond encrusted skull all over again, but without even having to first put the down payment on the actual raw materials to create the “art”. 
Essentially Metakovan & beeple_crap has found a way to increase the monetary value of a digital file just by declaring themselves experts and then declaring a random object to be valuable. And as a synergy effect, it also serves a publicity stunt to draw in more suckers to Metapurse.  
But it’s all actually an old racket, only the digital framing is new here:

Among the first Indians to list his work as an NFT, he says, “I have always faced the challenge of limited buyers because the notion still persists that digital art is not authentic art”. The concerns relating to copyright add to buyer hesitation. NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are helping change…
