No One Cares About My Framed NFT Art<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Some NFTs are frame-worthy, just like any other photo. What you\u2019re actually framing is still a mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEPHEN CURRY WIGGLES his shoulders on my kitchen counter. No one cares, not even the most devout Curry fans. Occasionally a friend asks what it is<\/em>, this never-ending loop of Curry successfully launching a bomb from just past half-court in a Golden State game against Dallas in February 2021. Then, the shoulder wiggle. Some movement in the hips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a framed\u00a0NFT<\/a>, I say. An NFT video, actually. There\u2019s another frame next to it, a pulsing blue jellyfish that resembles a novelty item purchased at Spencer Gifts circa 1994. It throbs on a loop, like a GIF. That one is not an NFT. In between these two acrylic frames sits a third that cycles through digital images from my iPhone camera roll\u2014just regular pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do we get when we\u00a0buy NFT art<\/a>, unique bits of code that are certified through the exchange of nonfungible token currencies? Do we own the art itself, or the certificate for that art, or both? I have a Steph Curry highlight on my kitchen counter, and I have no idea. I\u2019ve posed the question and can\u2019t guarantee a satisfying answer; this is not unlike the promises of NFT art. This hasn\u2019t stopped hardware makers from capitalizing on the NFT trend, which, at the moment, is in a slump. You might even call these frames token gadgets\u2014sleek, sturdy bits of atoms selling for hundreds or even thousands of dollars, existing just to give you a way to show off your new art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
