Pantone has aligned with Paris-based artist, Polygon1993 for a new NFT giveaway. This is Pantone’s first NFT collaboration, which will giveaway nine NFTs inspired by Pantone’s 2022 color of the year, Very Peri. The NFT features a digital glitch art style created using a combination of techniques that involve analog cameras and digital tools. The goal is to develop motion-based still imagery known as circuit bending.
Polygon1993 released a statement regarding the collaboration that reads: “When I first saw PANTONE® 17-3938 Very Peri, it immediately took me back to my childhood.” The artist added, “The blue and red undertones gave the color a retro vibe that inspired me to incorporate nostalgic effects that transport people to the past. With digital tools, I was able to create something new that stems from the old but makes it new and futuristic.”
The first drop will be available for free on the Tezos blockchain’s largest NFT marketplace, Objkt. After the initial drop, three more NFTs will be released on Thursday, March 10th, at 7 a.m. ET. Furthermore, a drop of four NFTs by Polygon1993 will be available from Friday, March 11th through Monday, March 14th at Tezos’ SXSW 2022 experience on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Check out the collaborative NFT collection in the images and get yours today. In the meantime, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more art and NFT news coming very soon.
