Description

Please Stand By utilizes the iconic SMPTE color bars template and changes the palette to bring into question viewers perceptions surrounding "standards of color." An offshoot of my original series, I Got Something To Say, adds an additional more literal message. Please Stand By, While The Rich Get Richer. The illusion of democratization brought about by web3 seems more fragile every day as major corporations enter the fray, power slowly becomes consolidated and the rich use it as a means to get richer. Recently Yuga Labs, the well funded startup that makes Bored Apes, generated $320 million in sales for plots of their virtual land called other side. During the sale, gas fees were astronomical with some people paying more in gas than they did for the land itself. Yuga labs has not only become a large consolidated corporation in the web 3 space but they’re also driving a bulk of the sales in the NFT market. And who are the people with the money able to afford not just the land but the steep gas fees? The only thing I’ve seen from all this thus far is a movement in which the people who have money to burn use said money to make more money while the bulk of others are left to watch on the sidelines.
