«Minting Advent & Burning Christmas» is both the title for a tokenized art collection of 24 GIFs by Canadian artist Lorna Mills presented in the form of a minted Advent Calendar as well as a solo exhibition unfolding on the blockchain.
From 1 December 2020, advent doors are minted on the Ethereum blockchain to reveal – day-by-day – a new GIF created by Lorna Mills. Consecutive doors are opened every day leading up to Christmas Eve. Every day a new art work is minted as a NFT token in an edition of 240. Some of the art works will be given away as gifts, most will be offered for sale. And some – those which won't find an owner – will be burned after Christmas Eve.
Concept by Nina Roehrs and Armin Blasbichler.
