Performance Art Duo Operator ‘Make Movement Collectible’ With NFTs

NFTs have provided digital artists with new ways to monetize their work by introducing scarcity to the market, but other creative fields can also benefit, performance art duo Operator informed Decrypt. The performing arts have a ‘similar issue’ to digital artists, explained Ania Catherine, who works with collaborator Dejha Ti as Operator. Operator has applied that thinking to its artwork ‘Human Unreadable,’ a three-act piece integrating choreography, generative art, blockchain, and cryptography that builds to a live performance to be presented at the end of 2026. Operator’s perseverance has paid off, with ‘Human Unreadable’ winning the Experiential Award at the recent Digital Art Awards. While the NFT art market may be facing challenges, artists continue to explore the potential of this technology, Catherine said.
