Zien is extremely proud that Agnieszka Kurant's Expanded NFT, Sentimentite, is one of these 15 NFT-based works entering the Pompidou permanent collection.

At Zien we believe much of our lives are spent in the 2.5th Dimension, the non-hierarchy between online and offline, between on-chain vs off-chain. Agnieszka Kurant's Sentimentite acts as an inaugural demonstration of what we mean by this: each of the one hundred Expanded NFTs exist as a ERC-721 NFT that can be redeemed on-chain for a unique counterpart physical sculpture.

Zien is on a mission to build a Web3 platform for producing and collecting art by today’s foremost media-agnostic artists. After the Sentimentite drop with Agnieszka Kurant, we've been working hard to evolve Zien. Below introduces what's new, but first a summary of recent learnings.
