Matteo Mauro tokenizes the works of his collectors into NFTs

Inspired by “the Hungry Artist’s” stunt where he ate a $120,000 banana affixed to a canvas at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2019, The Dole Sunshine Company is partnering with David Datuna to address food insecurity and malnutrition across the globe. The initiative will see Datuna create an NFT collection to complement Dole’s “Sunshine for All” program.

Datuna is producing a five-part series displaying people coming together to fight hunger. The first four parts of the series will go to auction on Rarible starting May 6th, followed by the May 8th auction of the fifth piece in the series. The final auction will be accompanied by a physical installation and a digital display in a Decentraland-based virtual gallery. Proceeds will be donated to Boys & Girls Clubs.

Digitalax Bridges Digital Fashion With Physical World Through “Memetic” Patches


As the pioneer behind the digital fashion movement, platform Digitalax continues to push the boundaries of NFTs as memes by introducing a physical fashion line that an accompanying NFT will complement. Through its collaboration with Polygon, which will be responsible for issuing the NFTs, Digitalax aims to build a gateway to bring fashion enthusiasts into the blockchain fold.

Each piece of physical clothing from the collection will feature a memetic patch that brings attention to important themes like the undervalued creators behind the industry, the profiteering which takes advantage of minor supply-chain players, and sustainability. The clothing will be available for purchase in fiat currency, presenting no barrier for eager enthusiasts to participate in this project. A corresponding inventory claim ticket will be used to represent rights to the memetic NFT that accompanies each piece.
