More about Dream Noir from Daniel Ambrosi, “This virtual sculpture is loosely based on a superscaled version of a physical art object I designed and built in 2011. For this piece, I’ve selected five artworks from my Dream Noir series, a visual exploration inspired by the graphic novels of Frank Miller. Also, given the absence of gravity in augmented reality, I’ve removed all supporting hardware to create a minimalist assemblage of floating ‘art glass’ panels.”

Ethereum
All art in the Ghosting auction has been minted on the Ethereum Network and can be transacted using the ethereum cryptocurrency.

FAQs
A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique digital asset with verifiable scarcity. A digital asset, in this case, is a piece of art. Prior to the advent of NFTs, online artwork was notoriously difficult to value and trade, by virtue of the fickle nature of ownership and scarcity on the internet. NFTs eliminate those issues, allowing digital assets to be verifiably scarce, and enabling ownership to be immutably recorded over time.
NFTs are powered by blockchain, a distributed ledger technology that enables peer to peer transactions on an open source database. NFTs are traded on this ledger, enabling a robust and permissionless marketplace for artwork.
