what's The Second-Guess?
The Second-Guess is a curatorial collective dedicated to exploring and exhibiting digital and blockchain-based art. Operating at the intersection of contemporary art and emerging technologies, it organizes exhibitions that highlight innovative works by artists utilizing NFTs, generative art, and other digital mediums. The collective collaborates with platforms like objkt.com on the Tezos blockchain to showcase and facilitate the collection of these artworks, fostering discussions on the evolving role of technology in artistic expression. Through events such as "The Bigger Your Pool" and participation in initiatives like Art on Tezos, The Second-Guess curates immersive experiences that bridge physical and virtual galleries. Its approach emphasizes community engagement, artistic experimentation, and the democratization of art ownership via blockchain, enabling global access to unique digital pieces without traditional intermediaries.
