A Short History of NFT Trash Art
The trash art movement began with a conversation about what defines art; the role of curation on-chain; and the role technology plays in the creation of art. Does a shortcut disqualify a work from being considered art? For many, these are the questions that started the discourse about Trash Art.

Autoglyphs
Autoglyphs are an experiment in generative art, each one unique and created by code running on the Ethereum blockchain. A glyph can be created by anyone who is willing to donate the creation fee of 0.20Ξ ($638) to our chosen charity, 350.org. The creator of the glyph will then also become the first owner of the glyph.

The CryptoPunks are 10,000 uniquely generated characters. No two are exactly alike, and each one of them can be officially owned by a single person on the Ethereum blockchain. Originally, they could be claimed for free by anybody with an Ethereum wallet, but all 10,000 were quickly claimed.

NFTs Are Hot. So Is Their Effect on the Earth's Climate
Two years ago, Joanie Lemercier, a French artist known for his perception-bending light sculptures, took on a new role as a climate activist. He attended protests against coal mining, projecting lasers onto excavators and government offices with dramatic effect, and began a campaign demanding Autodesk stop selling its design software to fossil fuel operations.

Does Carbon Offsetting Really Address the NFT Ecological Dilemma?
Last week, the popular non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace Nifty Gateway announced plans to become "carbon negative."

Inside Brazil's DIY, eco-friendly NFT art marketplace
Every day, the Brazilian artist Taís Koshino takes a walk in her virtual garden. She wanders an infinite white void, passing flowerlike blobs that hover in midair, each as vibrantly expressive as Matisse's paper cutouts.

Since 2014, it has been possible to certify digital images with the help of blockchain technology and in this way produce unique items, so-called NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). But only since this year, after a number of digitally certified images were sold for several million dollars, has a broader public taken notice of this development.
