"Making NFTs with everyday experience… AI will be hard to follow.…

"My daily experience is NFT art, and I got a consensus."
It is noteworthy that there is an artist who continues active NFT work activities even when the NFT market, which cannot be replaced, is slowing down due to the "Crypto Winter (virtual asset market cold season)." Although many NFT artists have lost their motivation and left the market as virtual currency, which is the basis of the NFT ecosystem, this artist is even claiming to be a director to increase contact points between NFT art and the public.
"Even if the market situation changes, the essence of digital art does not change," said LayLay, a writer specializing in NFTs who recently met with this magazine. "We need to look into the authenticity and value of artists projected into NFT works." Ray Ray is a first-generation NFT artist in Korea and is one of the few popular artists who leads the market by establishing an unrivaled area called "pixel art."
His representative NFT series is "Minor Heroes," with more than 130 related works produced so far. Most of them are sold out, so there is a kind of minor hero fandom among NFT collectors.
"Main heroes with strong power like Batman and Superman are hard targets for us to encounter, but minor heroes are characterized by ordinary people in very small areas that anyone may have imagined to gain with superpowers at least once," Ray Ray said. For example, a case in point is "Soldout Genius," which sells out NFTs within 24 hours.
Rayleigh recently held a private exhibition in Paris, France, featuring the course of her two years as an NFT writer. In addition to the Minor Heroes series, he also unveiled two new works.
"As Chat GPT gained worldwide attention at the end of last year, we drew this historical point of view based on the atmosphere of the era that is changing into generative artificial intelligence (AI)," Ray Ray Ray said. "I wanted to ask meaningful questions about how we should overcome the AI era in the future." "I think next year will be a year when AI art will create a big topic," he said. "From the artist's point of view, I will ask myself, 'What is the existence of our artists?'"
Ray Ray plans to dig further into the area of "sympathy with the public" that is difficult for AI to create. He said, "When I look at each work I've released so far, I've solved all of the experiences I've actually experienced, wanted, and wanted with pixel art," adding, "I think Ray's NFT art has been able to draw a good response in the French exhibition in that it contains a story that anyone can relate to." In fact, it is evaluated that the direction of the work pursued by Ray Ray is reflected in the reflection and experience of living a possible daily life.
In particular, he is attempting to gameize Minor Heroes NFT Art IP (Intellectual Property) as a new challenge. Ray Ray said, "Number Genius is a simple puzzle game that can be enjoyed by men and women of all ages under the theme of Number Genius, which is a genius in numbers, and we will make and release various games using this IP in the future." "In the future, I want to create a virtuous cycle of this market by drawing infinite expansion of NFT art IP through various platforms," he said. "Of course, I plan to continue my work as a writer and actively serve as a mentor to support other creators."
In addition, he plans to expand his career as a 'director' and a 'curator'. Until now, Ray Ray has led the NFT exhibition in collaboration with a number of companies and institutions, including KIA.
Ray Ray said, "I think I will work as a director more in the future because I want artists to work in a better environment and I want people to see NFT art in a more enjoyable environment."
In addition, he expressed his gratitude to the curator GRIDA, who introduced Ray Ray's work at a French exhibition to commemorate the second anniversary of his career.
"The value of the work seems to change depending on how the curator delivers the artist's thoughts and intentions projected on the work to the audience," he said. "Drawa Curator has shown that Ray Ray's work over the past two years was a valuable time."
