{"created_by":"themeanscreator","description":"Description by creator @ArtWard3n:\n\nThis artwork captures the tension between innovation and tradition in the NFT space. \n\nOn the left, the “YES” side represents the allure of new technologies, where creators explore the latest platforms, decentralized protocols, and liquidity layers to gain attention. Symbols of popular memes, trends, and blockchain advancements populate the creator’s thought bubble, illustrating the excitement of fresh approaches.\n\n On the right, the “BUT” side embodies the enduring value of provenance. A scroll details the journey of ownership through various ERC standards and dates, emphasizing the legacy and authenticity associated with earlier chains and tokens. \n\nThe phrase “Mfers do what we want” underscores the artist’s belief in autonomy, freedom, and self-determination. This piece invites viewers to reflect on the value of blockchain provenance versus the thrill of innovation—do we prioritize the history and authenticity of what we own, or the cutting-edge of technology?  \n-------------------------  \nRememe This Collection\n\nDescription:  \nRememe This is a challenge-based \"competition\" with the goal of getting more people to create art. The challenge focuses on internet memes and new ways of interpreting them.  \nEach challenge starts with a color palette composed of 4 colors, the only ones allowed in the pieces each participant will create.  \nBased only on the color palette, participants decide if they are willing to join. Only then will they know which popular internet meme they will rememe.  \nThere's one unbreakable rule: no black and white are allowed in the pieces. This not only forces participants to reshape how they see their creation processes, but makes for art that is more considered, colorful, and layered.\n\nAfter all pieces have been submitted within the deadline, they are shared for voting on Twitter/X.  \nThe piece with the most likes gets minted into this collection with a frame and creator identification. Remaining pieces go straight to the Based Rememes collection, where they'll get minted too.\n\nRememe This is a call for more people to create and leave their mark on a space they have helped grow and improve.  \nWe thank every person who has been up for the challenge, has participated, supported the creators, and accompanies this wholesome journey.\n\nThank you, world.","name":"YES, BUT","attributes":[{"trait_type":"YES, BUT","value":"@ArtWard3n"}],"image_details":{"bytes":1200905,"format":"PNG","sha256":"e39042a90d8476328a2e1c7c05ce52cd08c2b212bca599dc459b7ea3db867838","width":1938,"height":1465},"image":"https://arweave.net/SacXo8dIfyTO5Yd1I-71h0IG52A0HhpXhgFmt0Afwdw","image_url":"https://arweave.net/SacXo8dIfyTO5Yd1I-71h0IG52A0HhpXhgFmt0Afwdw"}
