Virtual Tourism / Token
Informed by his background in 3-dimensional design and driven by a fascination with blockchain technology, Randy Kart claims to “capture” digital environments to create his striking “Virtual Tourism, NFT sculptures”.
A strong sense of history—both natural and digital—unites his prolific output. The artist explores themes of light, perceptions of space, and patterns found in the metaverse.
virtual tourism \ the exploration and capturing of digital environments.
virtual \ vir·tu·al \ ˈvər-chə-wəl \ being on or simulated on a computer or computer network.
tourism \ tour·ism \ ˈtu̇r-ˌi-zəm \ the practice of traveling.
token \ to·ken \ ˈtō-kən \ an outward sign or expression.
Since the invention of photography in the 1830s, artists have used their cameras to record their experiences abroad, often documenting unfamiliar places and cultures to share with their audiences back home.
“I see myself as a modern historian, a curator of ideas. Taking an important moment in time, capturing it and creating a visual marker. The work started with the actions, motivations and passion of another. All I did was to help visualize and facilitate that connection. The process has come full circle and will now live forever on the blockchain”
Through skillful manipulation of visual fields—the tokens are weighted and torn, painted and scratched, stretched and sculpted —Kart’s idiosyncratic, irresistibly tactile style infuses each work with the covert momentum of an unbearable truth on the verge of escape.
