OBJKTion! Alternative #CleanNFT Exploration gathers ten artists working in digital formats: Adi Dela Zufall, Apol Sta. Maria, Bjorn Calleja, Geremy Samala, Jon Deniega, Mac Andre Arboleda, Manuel Arabit, Marlon Hacla, Mirjam Dalire, and Patrick L. Jamora.

The exhibition explores Non-Fungible Tokens on the environment-friendly Tezos blockchain, an open-source network that uses a 'Proof of Stake' mechanism in transactions and smart contracts. Tezos' annual energy consumption is said to be one to ten million lower than other blockchains. OBJKTion! Alternative #CleanNFT Exploration looks into the multi-faceted nature of what it means to be in the 'alternative sphere' of contemporary art, where artistic production is usually defined by the fabrication and creation of actual tangible objects. Thus, asking what does the future hold for artistic practices that reside in the virtual realm?

Curated by Gwen Bautista, OBJKTion! Alternative #CleanNFT Exploration is the first-ever exhibition of new media works as NFTs on the Tezos blockchain in the Philippines.
