Run by the artist Rita Vitorelli, Spike is a contemporary art magazine publishing vigorous, independent, and meaningful criticism. For this issue, Spike is getting technical. It’s titled OpenSea: the Web3 issue, and it grapples with the question of what it means to be an artist in the age of NFTs.
In this issue:
- A polemic for the blockchain as ecological salvation
- NFT aesthetics
- The feminist case for crypto
- A glimpse into Web3’s status behind the Great Firewall
- And a handy glossary of Web3 jargon (complete with meme illustrations, of course)
