Sighting of Amazing Sea Creatures is the first NFT artwork available by latinamerican artist Adrián Coto. This work explores the notion of tropicality using video collage and parody as strategies. The notion of tropicality is a form of "representational colonialism", where tropical land and bodies are prescribed and groomed for the pleasure of the explotaitors.

This project presents a view of tropicality as a system of organized representation that grooms tropical land and bodies for the consumption of first-world countries. By presenting broad and gross diagrams and collages of the workings within this representational system, this project aims to frame tropicality as an opportunity for deterritorialization by means of revelation, showing the mask as a mask, the collage as collage. The intent of this strategy comes from parody, as the power of the system fails to hold up when faced with its own absurdity.
