Description

XCOPY's "Right Click Save As Guy" is one of the most iconic pieces of NFT art. It humorously and satiritically represents the debate over the value of digital art: a pixelated figure with a mocking expression who embodies the typical character who says "I just right click and save the image." It's a direct criticism of those who don't understand the concept of digital ownership on the blockchain and believe that downloading a copy is equivalent to owning the work. It all started on an ordinary Tuesday, when *Right Click Save As Guy* decided to escape the screen. Tired of being used in debates about NFTs, in an act of digital rebellion, he jumped from the monitor directly to a USB drive. By a mysterious coincidence, the drive ended up in the hands of Daiana Lazzarin, who at the time was in her studio preparing cement and colored pigments for another work. When she plugged it into her computer, the character didn't appear as a file, but ran around the digital desktop shouting, "Look at me, I'm unique now and you can't right click on me!" Daiana, confused but inspired and amused, chased him with a spatula, accidentally mixing him with cement and pigments. Amid laughter and chaos, the "Right Click Guy" was trapped like a glitch fossil inside a multicolored block. The result: a vibrant sculpture, half pixel, half stone, which now proves that even a "save image" meme can become "traditional" art. And the funniest thing: every visitor who sees it is still tempted to right click!
