NFTapping was the world’s first collaborative NFT video-mapping project and the world premiere of the first non-commercial NFT token conceived by our team.

Create a video-mapping show for the international Intervals media-art festival in Nizhny Novgorod.

The project centred on a non-commercial NFT: a tokenised digital ownership right that could not be sold, only given away. We organised an international open call inviting artists to join a creative collaboration, then integrated the selected works into one visual canvas.

The result was issued digitally as a series of non-commercial, non-fungible tokens with no resale rights. The edition matched the number of contributing artists and guaranteed each author equal ownership of the work. Participating media artists worked across a range of styles and techniques and included Misha Most, Vadim Epstein, Pixelord, and others. Composer Dmitry Vikhornov wrote the video-mapping soundtrack.

The experience extends beyond the show itself. It foregrounds practices in the digital economy, including regulation of digital environments, distribution of intellectual-property rights, and the free circulation of art.
