Auction open April 30-may 2, 2021
DotPigeon’s debut Augmented Reality NFT.
Introducing Unique Board’s next AR NFT auction — “Another piece from my shattered glass collection” is a 1/1 interactive digital artwork envisioned in collaboration with Milanese digital artist DotPigeon / @_dotpigeon.
Based on DotPigeon’s iconic RIOT character, the AR figure becomes free to roam — wherever his collector envisions him to exist. In the artist’s words, “For the first time ever, someone will assume the role of the balaclava guy — the collector will have the chance to play with story of the AR, making him interact with amazing houses, scenarios and environments.”

1/1 augmented reality nft
Our live auction for “Another piece from my shattered glass” closed May 2, at $15,500 (4.90 ETH) — Congratulations to our winning bidder + collector @nftmuseum.art!
“DotPigeon’s art shouts into the void, revealing an unapologetic catharsis for the paradox of freedom + restriction of working as an artist. Yearning to find a way out of distress + into joy, DotPigeon’s iconic avatar seeks to escape from the picturesque reality he feels bound to fit into, and perhaps to create a new reality. In his AR form, the figure is finally free to roam — wherever his collector envisions him to exist.”

“Have you ever tried to give a face, an identity or a shape to your alter ego? Have you ever tried to think about which personality it would assume if it would became human? Have you ever imagined what it would happen if you suddenly find yourself free from all social, moral, economic and political conventions?
It is starting from these existential questions that DotPigeon, Italian artist - born in 1987, decided to move away from his usual artistic background to start an important experimental phase that leads him to the discovery and creation of the character RIOT. Thus began a long journey of knowledge between the artist, and his alter-ego, the personalization of his thoughts, his pulses and his passions, which find their dimension in the series of digital paintings presented during the solo show "My Dark Twisted Fantasy,"
