“Contemporary artists are constantly seeking new ways to challenge the status quo of art and its medium. NFTs brought in an innovative, new medium to the art world, allowing artists to fully control the distribution of their art as well as experiment with new ideas. I wanted to create a digital and physical experience that paid homage to the City of Chicago by creating a mural of Kanye West alongside other Chicago artists,” Peterson said of the NFT on the website.
Take a look a the mural below.
