What is an NFT?

NFT stands for non-fungible token. “Fungible” is an economic term which refers to a good or asset that can be exchanged for another good or asset of equal value. If something is “non-fungible,” it means it can’t be swapped for something of completely equal value. An area of land would be non-fungible, since land is unique, and finding another area with the exact same value would be difficult to impossible. Art is another example of a non-fungible asset, since its value is highly subjective. A quote from NFT book, by Two Lives ‘2 LIVES is the first exhibition ever that aims to educate and connect traditional art to digital art and the finance world to the art world, by showcasing NFTs through their multi-businesses opportunities to artists, students, curators, collectionists, stakeholders, creators and whoever involved in the NFT space. 2 LIVES is an homage to the island of Jersey through its best-renowned artists and their stories, in order to create a forever lasting exhibition in the virtual world (The Metaverse) and accessible from everywhere to become a blueprint for the future of exhibitions, jobs and community building in NFTs.’

A community of the future will celebrate diversity, equality and inclusion and propose a new digital world; a metaverse where everyone is equal regardless of class, race, gender and age. A digital ecosystem that transcends all virtual identities into a utopia for peace, prosperity and progress.

CONCEPT: What will the future of Jersey look like as a community in the metaverse?

Our group for this project brainstormed many ideas surrounding community, and how communities may change or evolve in the future. We produced a mind map with themes such as religion, class, family etc – however a common area of interest was the evolution of feminism and how equality may look in the Metaverse. I then produced a mood board demonstrating different communities of women, may it be protesters, family members, diversity activists – the list goes on – all with roots linking to feminism and equality.

Describe in;

3 Words – Equal, Diverse, Free

A Sentence – A community full of equality between men and woman, a future with women’s rights and freedom.

A Paragraph – The evolution of women’s rights into the future Metaverse, a time when diversity and equality are the norms, where a woman can choose what she does with her body without the input from the government and society around her. The aim for this project is to represent a future community, both digitalised and physical, where women are empowered and are seen as equals to men. Challenging dominant ideologies surrounding feminism and the female gender, this project will show how the representation of women has changed over time, and how it will continue to change as our world evolves into a more digital and automated society.
