The World Today
2022
The World Today is a project where 138 world-class, established and emerging photographers from all 5 continents were brought together by Obscura DAO to take the 1st global visual timestamp of the 21st century. This ended up as a collection of 13,800 native 1/1 NFT photographs of cities, landscapes, communities, people, events and conceptual images that will tell our story for centuries to come, taken March - April 2022.
An ode to the 1955 exhibition “The Family of Man” by legendary curator Edward Steichen for the MoMA, The World Today uses the blockchain to create a permanent record of our world, rich in metadata connections that further develop and cross-reference the stories within, resulting in a complex net of properties and rarities including 138 curated grails, 1 from each artist.

The World Today es un proyecto en el que ObscuraDAO reunió a 138 fotógrafos establecidos y emergentes de clase mundial de los 5 continentes para tomar la primera marca de tiempo visual global del siglo XXI. Esto terminó como una colección de 13,800 NFTs de fotografías nativas 1/1 de ciudades, paisajes, comunidades, personas, eventos e imágenes conceptuales que contarán nuestra historia en los siglos venideros, tomadas de marzo a abril de 2022.
Una oda a la exposición de 1955 "The Family of Man" del legendario curador Edward Steichen para el MoMA, The World Today utiliza el blockchain para crear un registro permanente de nuestro mundo, rico en conexiones de metadatos que desarrollan aún más y cruzan las historias dentro de la colección, lo que da como resultado una red compleja de propiedades y rarezas que incluye 138 griales, 1 de cada artista.
