“(…) My dictionnary goes on to say that color also signifies authenticity, as in “He showed us his true colors”. Yet does not the very phrase “he showed us his true colors,” venerable with age and usage, also suggest the oppostite, that color is both true and untrue precisely beacuse of its claims to authenticity? How can you ever be sure with which variety you are dealing, his true colors or his fals ones? Is this why we in the West are drawn to color, yet made uneasy, even repelled by it, as by Mafia types like me in Hawaiian shirts? Who of you reading this text would even dream of painting the living- room wall bright red or green, or any color other than off-white? Then, safe in your whiteness, you can hang a wildly colored picture on the wall, secure in its framed being.” M. Taussig, What Color is Sacred?, University of Chicago Press (1 mai 2009).

The World Today (TWT) collection image

Project website: https://twt.obscura.io.

138 world-class, established and emerging photographers from 5 continents brought together by Obscura to take the 1st global visual timestamp of the 21st century. 13,800 native 1/1 NFT photographs of cities, landscapes, communities, people, events and conceptual images that will tell our story for centuries to come, taken Mar-Apr 2022.

An ode to the 1955 exhibition “The Family of Man” by legendary curator Edward Steichen for the MoMA, The World Today uses the blockchain to create a permanent record of our world, rich in metadata connections that further develop and cross-reference the stories within, resulting in a complex net of properties and rarities including 138 curated grails, 1 from each artist.

TWT expanded the frontier of possibilities for photography in the web3 era, and is responsible for onboarding dozens world-class photographers to NFTs.
