Creating and Collecting Art for the Planet
summary
Collects and funds via Tezos-based drops that funnel 70–95% of sales to NGOs, mints 3D and VR pieces (GLB, web experiments) like a Gulf coral project on FXhash, a web VR Floodplains XYZ house that floods, and a film shown to ~200,000 people called Slow Violence. Runs a membership model where one in ten NFTs includes a real-life experience, tracks carbon choices (avoids high-energy Ethereum when it was ~100 kg CO2 per tx), and links buyers directly to vetted nonprofits.
