AN ART GAME BY KENNY SCHACHTER
Pop Principle: The Art Game, created by Kenny Schachter and powered by Daata, is an ecosystem of two teams: the traditional art world and the new guard NFT players. The game features characters in each camp. Art critic Jerry Saltz, legendary mega-dealer Larry Gagosian, and Yayoi Kusama are on the traditional art side, while Nigerian digital artist Osinachi, NFT-record shattering artist Mike Winkelmann (aka ‘Beeple’) and artist Refik Anadol, who is known for his large scale machine intelligence artworks, represent the crypto team. The Swiss art curator, Hans Ulrich Obrist, serves as a neutral player, paying homage to his home country. These familiar characters were created by Kenny Schachter and will be released at Kenny Schachter’s show at The NFT Gallery in New York City on May 18.
Each round of the game will consist of five to ten characters all released as Open Editions. The most minted character from each round will be considered the winner, and the collector who holds the greatest number of the winning character at the end of the round will receive a physical sculpture of the character. All collectors of the winning character will be able to burn some of their character’s tokens to redeem exclusive prizes.
