NOTHING IS FINE
We spend a lot of time pretending everything is fine
The blockchain says you own it
The marketplace says it’s secure
The contract is still there
The image is still there
Your wallet is still there
Until it isn’t
The recent Magic Eden exploit exposed thousands of NFTs through old approvals that many collectors had long forgotten about. Assets were moved without their owners initiating the transactions. Some were stolen. Others were swept into a whitehat rescue operation before they could be taken. At its peak, more than $5.7 million in NFTs were reportedly at risk
Nothing disappeared from the internet
The images remained
The contracts remained
The blockchain remained
What disappeared was certainty
Nothing is Fine is about that feeling
The uncomfortable space between ownership and control
Between permanence and vulnerability
Between believing something is safe and discovering that it never really was
Digital art has always carried this contradiction
We built systems to make ownership permanent
Then built more systems to protect the systems
Then discovered the old permissions were still waiting there
Everything looks fine
Until it isn't
