what's xcopy?

XCOPY is a pseudonymous digital artist renowned for glitch art aesthetics, blending distorted visuals and crypto-native themes. Emerging in the early days of blockchain art, XCOPY pioneered on-chain and programmable artworks, often critiquing the hype and volatility of the crypto space through ironic, flickering animations and editions. The artist's work spans platforms like Foundation, Nifty Gateway, and OpenSea, where pieces fetch significant value in the NFT market. XCOPY's editions and one-of-ones emphasize scarcity and interactivity, with some incorporating smart contract mechanics for evolving or redeemable traits. Collaborations and experiments, such as wrapper tools for legacy art tokens, highlight a commitment to preserving and innovating within crypto art history. Beyond creation, XCOPY engages the community via raffles, charity allocations from royalties, and permissionless builds, fostering a space for glitch art enthusiasts and NFT collectors.
