How Will The Sale Work?

The dictionary definition of a masterpiece is “a work of outstanding artistry, skill, or workmanship”. However, as we well know, art in all its forms is very subjective and although we can most probably all agree that Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel is worth a visit, have you ever tried asking a mother her thoughts on her child’s first scribble? The work, most-probably framed and boasting a prime spot on the living room wall, will surely be a masterpiece in her eyes. Similarly, when in 1917 Marcel Duchamp – a French artist at the forefront of conceptual art – submitted a porcelain urinal (yes, really!) entitled Fountain for an exhibition, the idea of art as demonstrating mastery of a craft was turned on its head. Duchamp’s goal was to engage with his audience in a thought-provoking way without having to satisfy the aesthetic status quo. Though at the time they refused to exhibit the work, Fountain later became an icon of 20^th century art, and coined the concept of the “readymade”; ordinary manufactured object designated by the artist as a work of art and requiring no workmanship at all. This leads us to question: how does one define what is a “masterpiece”? And who decides what is?

We are pleased to present to you the genesis draft of the Particle Bill of Rights.  Our mission is to clearly spell out Particle owner’s rights and understanding of our mission of building a world-class art collection.  As always, we encourage you to join our communities on Telegram and Discord to provide your feedback directly to us.

Earth’s climate is becoming more hostile to human life.

The last seven years are the hottest on record, rising sea levels are threatening coastal communities, and extreme weather events are becoming increasingly common. Those are just a few of the many alarming signs the science community has pointed to for decades, while behaviors and industries have continued to chug along as if nothing is changing.

As people building the future of NFTs, collectibles, and art, it would be negligent to ignore the potentially massive impact design decisions we make today can have on generations to come.
