Chromatic Squiggle NFTs

Sotheby's Chromie Squiggles Share Randomized Colors, Segments & Spreads

— December 8, 2021 — Art & Design
Sotheby's recently launched its own metaverse and now the auction house is debuting its first in-house NFT project dubbed Chromie Squiggles. This playful series of non-fungible tokens were brought to life by artist Erick Calderon, also known as Snowfro. Hosted on Art Blocks, the NFT art project shares a wide range of squiggles that set themselves apart visually with different traits. The randomized art looks unique thanks to different factors such as the colors, ribbed details, segments, height, color direction and spread.

There are varying levels of rarity and buyers are treated to the element of surprise. Buyers will be unaware of the unique traits of their specific NFT until it i minted, which means there is no telling how valuable or rare the digital work of art may be.
Trend Themes
1. Playful NFT Art - There is an opportunity for artists to create NFT art that is visually unique and playful, allowing for an element of surprise for buyers.
2. Randomized Traits - NFT projects that incorporate randomized traits, colors, and details can create a sense of rarity and exclusivity, motivating buyers to acquire them.
3. Metaverse Integration - Integrating NFT art into metaverse platforms provides a new way for buyers to showcase and interact with their digital art collections within a virtual space.
Industry Implications
1. Art - The art industry can benefit from using NFTs to create unique collections of playful and rare digital art pieces to attract collectors and increase sales.
2. Auction Houses - Auction houses can create their own NFT projects to attract a new generation of buyers and provide a unique way to bid on and acquire digital art.
3. Blockchain Technology - NFTs and blockchain technology can disrupt the traditional art industry by providing a new way for artists to monetize their work and create a transparent and secure marketplace for buyers.
