Foodmasku Joins Web3 Artists At Fifth Annual CADAF Putting Tezos Artwork On Display During 3-Day Event Along 5th Ave

Foodmasku is an artist who makes masks from his meals and then eats them.

He is a  former Fulbright U.S. Scholar in Indonesia and also a survivor of a shooting in his neighborhood in New York City which inspired his advocacy for gun violence prevention.  

He created the Instagram account Foodmasku in April 2020, during a video meeting when a colleague couldn’t turn off a pickle face filter. He took his dinner and placed it on his face as a mask.

He heard laughter for the first time in a month. The project turned into a daily food face-mask selfie and was selected by The New York Times as one of “five art accounts to follow on Instagram now”. He has been minting his work as non-fungible tokens since March 2021.

In numbers, he has created 2,541 NFTs, worn 5,000,000 calories  and raised over $15,000 for charity.

“I like to walk around my neighborhood, which has a lot of outdoor grocers, and if a food item looks like it would be fun to mask, I try it on there. My neighbors know me by now and are used to it.” – Foodmasku
