Two NYC artists create NFT of Brooklyn Bridge – have many available for sale to savvy art collectors
Brooklyn Bridge Art Club NFT - hereafter BBAC - is a collection of 5,776 unique paired-digital “golden parking spaces” extrapolated from the previously unmapped and unexploited "air rights" of John A. Roebling' s landmark bridge over the East River (a.k.a. Bridge Over Troubled Waters.) Each golden space exists on the Etherium blockchain and is an open space for each owner to put his or her soon-to-be wholly unwelcome and indefensible if not totally obsolete "car". But here's the uncancelable bonus: your Brooklyn Bridge NFT doubles as a membership in the Art Club – an open community and imaginary, virtual and physical destination for sharing and creating, tethered to this historic structure (and its mirror image) like a thought balloon in a Krazy Kat comic strip reconfigured by the inverted spatial dynamics of a Bruce Nauman video.
BBAC's inventors Elliott Arkin and Robert Storr are both artists living in Carroll Gardens in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge. Responding to the soaring values of the real estate metaverse in their borough and throughout New York City they have decided to make spaces available to anyone and everyone capable of buying a lottery ticket. Of course, supplies are limited so don't wait! and fasten your seat belts for a financial roller coaster ride that would leave passengers on Coney Island's Cyclone spinning their heads!
