gm,
We got a special Monday newsletter in store for you! This project isn't like every other project out there. And before you ask, no we are not behind it. Before you dive in, it's worth taking a look at IYKYK's Twitter here.
Here is the breakdown of today's newsletter:
⬛️ IYKYK project breakdown and interview
⬛️ IYKYK ⬛️
IYKYK is the hypothetical lovechild of a three-way between Banksy, South Park and MSCHF.
IYKYK (If You Know, You Know) is the NFT world's subversive prankster, using NFT technology to critique NFTs and the culture surrounding them. With no promises, hype, or roadmaps, IYKYK is dedicated to making NFTs fun again.
Interview 🎙️
we spoke and they answered...
Who are you?
I’m Batman. JK. IYKYK.
That’s your name?
IYKYK. You got it.
IYKYK. Got it. That’s your name. But who are you?
Anonymous creators that use NFTs to make fun of NFTs.
Why would you do that?
We want to make NFTs fun again. Let’s laugh at ourselves and the world of NFTs.
Who has done this outside of the NFT space?
Duchamp —readymade objects criticizing art.
Banksy —graffiti criticizing the “establishment.”
MSCHF — products criticizing consumerism.
Southpark — television criticizing pop culture.
IYKYK—NFTs criticizing NFTs.
Do you not believe in NFTs?
We will believe in them.
How often will you release NFTs?
One brand new NFT will be dropped every 14 days.
A video worth watching explaining more in detail...
How do you tie them all together?
Nothing.
Each collection is unique and intentionally incoherent from one another.
They can take any form — sometimes a 1/1 real-life sculpture or an open-edition NFT. It doesn’t matter because nothing matters.
Who are you going after?
Everything and everyone.
What do you hope to achieve?
We want to make art accessible to all.
How does that jive with a $1M piece?
“All” includes those with $1M to spend.
How will you get the word out?
We won’t. We drop in silence.
Who are your influences?
