Trendy & Catchy
The Guardians(2021)
Topcy Choi, Korea
“Your own digital guardian!”
Topcy Choi’s Trippy Art debut
<The Guardians> is Topcy Choi’s Trippy Art debut, which embodies the traditional Korean Dancheong pattern into a dragon.
It is said to be the guardian that protects digital cryptocurrencies from hacking like the guardians from mythology.
A combination of traditional culture and trends
The Guardians have reborn the Dancheong pattern as a work of digital art.
At the same time, it presents artistic solutions to recent problems such as cryptocurrency hacking.
The idea of protecting cryptocurrencies with a digital guardian stands out.
Joseon Punk(2022)
Topcy Choi, Korea
“Great Joseon Punk era. Ride the guitar reef that breaks the Confucian scriptures!”
Topcy Choi’s 3D project, Joseon Punk
Joseon Punk is Topcy Choi’s second work of Trippy Art, which has moved real-life instruments into the digital world.
It consisted of a guitar, bass, drums, synthesizer, and Special Things, each of which was rendered in 3D to create the footage.
The details and lively appearance make people desire to have them.
Words from Topcy Choi, the artist who catches the latest NFT trend
Topcy Choi says “I was inspired a lot by preparing for the Korean punk series at the National Museum of Korea.” and “As an artist who competes with the quality of the artwork, 3D artwork was presented to fully capture the quality and charm.”
Roadmap
Topcy Choi, Korea
“Words from an artist,
Topcy Choi’s Roadmap”
As a writer working on a long-term project rather than a short-term project, I planned a roadmap.
1. Traditional pattern artwork sharing service (completed)
To make the traditional patterns of Korea more convenient and widely used, I will create a service that makes the traditional patterns public and freely available.
As it is the pattern that our ancestors made, we will make sure that everyone can use it freely and conveniently. In addition, I plan to expand the service in connection with public institutions.
Ultimately, I want to make it easier for many people to access traditional patterns and at the same time increase the value of my projects.
2. NFT activities for our culture
To raise interest in our culture, I would like to conduct a fundraising NFT project to support institutions and organizations that have preserved our cultural assets.
100% of the sales proceeds will be donated to the organization, and the name (or nickname) of the NFT buyer will be written on the donor list.
3. Physical production and collaboration plan
Starting with the Guardians Goods event, I plan to expand the work of bringing NFT, an asset in virtual reality, to reality.
Among them, I am planning an event to make some of the works of the Joseon Punk Collection into actual works.
In addition, I want to raise the value of the Joseon Punk project by sponsoring these instruments to domestic bands and singers.
