Friendship Bracelets<\/u><\/a> is the latest generative art project from Erick Calderon, which was available free of cost for any Art Blocks NFT holders. Created in partnership with Andr\u00e9, the pieces feature embroidery floss colours. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIn essence, the two artists collaborated to represent digital art as a meaningful physical object using the strands of a childhood bracelet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Calderon conceptualized the 38,413-piece collection, Alexis Andr\u00e9 (aka MacTuitui) aesthetically and programmatically designed it. Notably, the pieces are Art Blocks\u2019 way of appreciating the creators, makers, builders, and collectors who have been essential to the platform\u2019s growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The collection was free to mint for holders of existing Art Blocks NFTs until the claim period ended on Tuesday, sending its value soaring on the secondary market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The collection had the highest 24-hour trading volume on OpenSea at 996 ETH (over $1.3 million) and amassed a total trading volume of 7,437 ETH (about $9.9 million).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe project is a token of our appreciation to the creators, makers, builders, and collectors who have all contributed to making the Art Blocks community what it is today,\u201d said Art Blocks on its collection page. \u201cParticipating in this project is a signal, both online and IRL, that you\u2019re a participant in this evolution of art and community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
