1ドル紙幣について考えていました。 すべての 1 ドル紙幣が地球上から消えたら、この1ドル紙幣はとても価値のあるものになるでしょう。 もし紙幣にアートの価値があれば、他の失った紙幣もアートです。 NFT ARTはアートでしょうか？ 女王が死んだ。 1 ポンド紙幣の女王の顔を思い浮かびました。 女王は舌を出してアインシュタインがあらわれました。アインシュタインは舌を引っ込めて、第二次世界大戦敗北後の日本のエンペラーになりました。文脈もなく、次々と何度も何度もポートレート・アイコンが頭に浮かび消えて行きます。 . . . . . 1ドル紙幣を見つめていた私に気がつきました。 妄想の果てに目の前の事実に辿り着いた。禅かもしれない。 Hide: Japanese / 日本語 I have been thinking about the $1 bill. If all other $1 bills disappeared from the earth, this bill would be of great value. If this bill had art value, the other missing bills would also be art. Is NFT ART art? The Queen is dead. The Queen on the £1 note came to mind. The Queen stuck out her tongue. Then Einstein appeared. Einstein pulled back his tongue and became Emperor of Japan after the defeat in World War II. Out of context, One after another, Over and over again. Portrait icons came to mind and went away. . . . . . I found I was staring at the $1 Bill. At the end of delusion, I arrive at the fact in front of me. It might be Zen. Show: Kenji Kojima's Biography
