This Is Not a NFT by Steve Landis

Burning Man is live & also conceptual and not a simulation of life. Yet, while it exists, it also doesn’t exist. NFTs exist but don’t exist in physical form. Participants live life live (not a typo). One needs to live, but also to do it live & not in a recorded or fake fashion. Too often burners live outside of their reality and not in a present way. Rene Magritte’s surrealist art makes the participant question their reality. The text communicates what it is (art) but also what it is not (not a NFT of art). While art exists, it doesn’t exist until someone creates some type of physical form. NFTs exist but not in physical form, yet this piece exists as a NFT upon being video’d & made into a NFT, which means what it isn’t becomes what it is.
