Digital art is finally made itself into a hyper-real object in the metaverse. NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are unique and distinct cryptocurrency assets. Each NFT is unique, with distinguishing metadata and identification codes. NFTs are certificates of authenticity, using a string of characters to prove ownership and legitimacy. Simulacrum precedes the original and the distinction between reality and representation vanishes. There is only the simulation, and originality becomes a totally meaningless concept. Crypto art is hyper-real, more than real. NFT art is better than real art, to get “real” objects you need to go out in the middle of a raging pandemic, and it's dangerous outside. Then it would be best if you disinfected the object, and clean it so you can touch it. With NFT everything is better now. In making my Realms series I use the technic of Physically based rendering (PBR). A computer graphics approach seeks to render images in a way that models the flow of light in the real world. This object is made with mathematical rules, just like a mathematical golden ratio of nature. It is as material as a rock or a tree. By making this object into NFT, it gained the singular plural meaning of the object of cognitive capitalism. But it lost the magic of transcendence. My Realms are meta-gods and meta-deities, once, and still today, believed to be real and transcendent. They are not only objects that are subjects of perception. Virtual reality states that the objects that surround us are only screens that project their essence. In my Realms series, the objects are the main subject matter. This stems from the search for meaning. The circular motion of meaning is created by human perception and continues to a sharing motion of the objects around us. The objects exist in their own right and by the association between them, and they are real as long as we believe our perception - we believe in the ancient gods.
