XCOPY: The Talent Beyond Art

XCOPY is an anonymous London-based artist creating animated glitch-art with flickering elements, utilizing NFT technology to sell digital images.

The artist's most renowned NFT is Right-click and Save As guy, originally created as a meme to satirize skeptics and critics of digital art and blockchain. This unique token was subsequently purchased by the famed musician, producer, and actor Snoop Dogg for 1600 ETH (about $7 million at the time of the sale). XCOPY's most recent digital series is titled Remnants, showcased on the SuperRare platform and consisting of 250 unique abstract NFTs. In this series, XCOPY ventured into generative art but ensured each composition was individually vetted to diversify the algorithm and prevent a multitude of similar images. Many of XCOPY's non-fungible tokens and collections are now regarded as blue-chip assets, maintaining interest across the creative blockchain community. However, the recent crypto market downturn has significantly diminished the value of the artist's NFTs, dropping by tens and even hundreds of times. A swift return to their previous price levels seems improbable in the near future.
Despite the challenges, XCOPY maintains a positive outlook on the future, acknowledging the transformative impact of blockchain on digital art. The artist believes blockchain has paved the way for new possibilities, offering traditional artists accessible and cutting-edge tools to trade their works through NFT collections.
