Meet the artists of Next Wave: The Miami Edit 

NFTs of artists such as Dave Krugman, Random International x Danil Krivoruchko, Elf J Trul, Luis Ponce, and RhymezlikeDimez are part of the upcoming collection. Slimesunday, Cory Van Lew, Goldcat, Zancan, Andres Serrano, Ash Thorp, Ayla El-Moussa, Cath Simard, and Sasha Stiles are some of the other participating artists.

Of this, the top lot is a constantly evolving virtual sculpture called Mother Flock. It is a part of the Life in Our Minds collection, a project from the art collective, Random International. Award-winning multidisciplinary digital artist and creative director, Danil Krivoruchko, along with Hannes Koch and Florian Ortkrass, founded the collective in 2005.

A generative interactive artwork, Life in Our Minds: Mother Flock enables viewers to “physically manipulate a flock of thousands of swarming pieces of bird-like origami.” What’s more, Pace Verso, the web3 arm of Pace Gallery, and Snark.art’s OG.Art NFT platform co-produced the project.
