Fingerprints News

Fingerprints Studio is pleased to present The Queue, a new NFT project by Miragenesi. The Queue is an experiment and exercise in patience. The artwork itself is generated by the people waiting to collect it. Participants join the virtual queue—not just as observers—but as integral parts of an evolving artwork. The longer the line, the greater the complexity.

Join the Queue on March 25 at 1pm EST.
