2020 was a wrenching year for us all. In the midst of the long, hot, quarantine summer, I learned of the concept of Non-Fungible Tokens and was happy to prepare my central body of work for ‘minting.’ The romance was doomed; a series of exposés showed normal blockchains to be horribly carbon-heavy. As an artist who tries to center ethics in my work, it was unacceptable for me to continue. There is hope yet! In the form of low-carbon NFT protocols and new communities springing up around them.
