Especially in the last year, the NFT craze that has spread all over the world has allowed us to see both real works of art and strange things like a red pixel and a stone. But while we were all thinking ‘how weird can the NFT world get’, a news came that answered the question without even asking.
World-famous pop star Madonna launched an NFT collection of three videos in partnership with Beeple. The feature of Madonna’s NFT collection was something that could not be predicted. The collection consisted of videos in which Madonna’s body was modeled in 3D with all its lines and ‘give birth’.
NFT collection created with a 3D model of Madonna:
These short animation videos, in which every detail of Madonna’s body is modeled in 3D, are available on SuperRare. It was put up for auction yesterday. In the videos titled “Mother of Technology”, “Mother of Creation” and “Mother of Evolution”, Madonna gave birth to butterflies, robotic caterpillars and a tree. In addition, the videos are accompanied by poems, two of which belong to Madonna and one to Mevlana.
Bids to video NFTs began to exceed tens of thousands of dollars. Mother of Technology and Mother of Evolution received 6.5 Ethereum (approximately $12,600 USD) bids, and Mother of Nature 15 Ether (approximately $29,100) bids. The auction will end tomorrow. It was announced that the income from NFTs will be donated to three separate foundations working for children.
Madonna’s fans and those who saw the collection gave mixed reactions to the NFT collection, while Madonna also made a statement. Madonna stated that everything was designed with 3D scanning and she wanted to “explore the concept of creation, not only how a child comes into the world from a woman’s vagina, but also how an artist gives birth to creativity”.
