Raoul Marks Creates Alexander Calder Inspired NFT Collection

2X Emmy Award-winning motion designer — Raoul Marks teamed up with Calder Foundation and TRLab to create a Calder-Inspired NFT collection. This project, titled The Calder Question, is the first official NFT creation devoted to the 20th-century artist — Alexander Calder. Let’s have a look at the limited-edition NFTs created by Raoul Marks in The Calder Question.

Limited-Edition NFTs By Raoul Marks In ‘The Calder Question’

On October 6, Calder Foundation and TRLab announced a partnership with Raoul Marks in a new NFT project. In light of the association, Raoul Marks created the limited-edition NFTs for “Mobiles” — the first season of The Calder Question. Therefore, the sole aim of Mobiles is to highlight Calder’s mastery of sculptural art forms.

Apparently, the limited-edition NFTs from The Calder Question include five extraordinary mobile arts, which are one-minute long each. What’s more, at the end of the learning experience, participants can have access to them but at a price. However, the experience is free to join. Also, participants must connect their crypto wallet to move through the 3-week journey. 

Marks had to work with Rower to allow viewers experience mobile NFTs from a unique technology perspective. In his words, “I want viewers to feel transported to the edge of space, to peer into black holes surrounded by points of light or to swoop under giant monoliths suspended in the void”. Above all, he wanted people to desire to know about Calder’s exceptional work and its continuing relevance.
