This New Self-Destructing Website Lets You Create a Unique NFT, But You Can't Tokenize It

Want to join into the NFT gold rush, but can’t make art? ‘Tokenize This’ generates a unique URL that shows an image that isn’t very much different from some of the other NFT artworks being sold online. The creator of the website, Ben Grosser, explains it is “A generator of unique digital objects that can only be viewed once.” “Tokenize This is a net artwork that proposes one possible structure of resistance against the threats posed by NFTs,” he explains in his blog. This push towards commodification not only comes with high ecological costs but also threatens to reconfigure the focus of many digital/software/net artists into the production of saleable and non-threatening work that is easily recognizable as “art” to the speculative finance crowd.” Elon Musk may have opted out of the ongoing NFT gold rush, after he initially made an NFT on a techno song about NFTs – and then opted out of it. The first Oscar-nominated movie to be released as an NFT was Adam Benzine’s “Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah.” The first tweet by Twitter’s Jack Dorsey was sold as an NFT.
