SSX3LAU

Minted by Maxstealth in 2020

As a major producer of electronic dance music and founder of the music NFT marketplace Royal, 3LAU has led a new collecting revolution allowing buyers to acquire music as NFTs. MaxStealth’s most memorable purchase is Can’t Copy Me, the DJ’s very first NFT whose title is a wry reference to the powerful non-fungibility of the NFT. The work was produced as part of the SSX3LAU partnership with collage artist Slime Sunday, a hot shot within the digital art community who has worked with major musicians like Katy Perry and Lana Del Rey. The pair are interested in exploring the growing intersection of audio and visual arts enabled by blockchain technologies. For the project Traffic, which took over 200 hours to complete, the artists imagined the crossroads between the metaverse and reality and designed a new landscape from scratch. They have commented, “we think we’ll be spending a lot more time in the metaverse in the future, don’t you?”
