WAGMI TO THE MOON

Design Question

The word NFT often bears the connotations of scams, fads, and money laundry schemes as it embeds financial, technological, and social implications. How can design engage people to look at the intangible world of NFT differently and critically?

Overview

We’re All Gonna Make It (WAGMI) To The Moon is a collection of board games that navigate directly into the confusing but fascinating world of Non-Fungible Token (NFT) art. Owing to the explosion of the NFT market in 2021, user-generated art, often artless and even kitsch, has sometimes skyrocketed to be as valuable as the artworks in galleries and museums. The games let the players see the appeal and issues of the NFT technology, experience what it means to be an NFT artist/investor, and wrap our heads around “WTF is NFT art?”
