THE DROP

La Caldera collection, a digital art collaboration by Shakira and BossLogic, depicts the fantastical world of Caloris, a place ruled by women in an intergalactic landscape as they grapple with the arrival of both friendly and unfriendly visitors. Art-directed by both artists in a retro-futuristic style with a nod to the look and feel of vintage posters and graphic novels, the collection features 4 original audio pieces produced by and featuring Shakira to accompany this vibrant adventure where mythological themes are played out in a delightfully colorful post-modern world.


CARBON NEUTRAL via AERIAL

The Caldera Collection will be offset using Aerial, a sustainability platform that calculates the carbon emissions based on associated energy use. The offsets will be allocated to high-quality forest conservation projects verified by American Carbon Registry and to emerging technologies such as Charm industrial that capture carbon from biomass waste and permanently store it underground.

More like La Chromatica Collection.  Also I hate the concept of NFTs.

[Avenger]

Love Shak but NFT concept ugh, not here for it!

You can sit here next to me, it's two of us already. All the rest seem to know what is going on but they don't care to explain, and I don't have the patience to lose myself in an endless hole of information on Google. There are cookies on the table, you can put your cane next to it, this is going to take a while...

It's kinda difficult to explain, but here's this article that explains it in a humorous, simple way lol

An NFT is a Non Fungible Token. You’re basically buying an internet-based collectible. It’s not a physical item. They’re created with embedded code that serves as a certificate of authenticity. Basically internet beamy babies, some are more “mass produced” like trading cards and some may be more rare. You can also take something like a video or a tweet, something Internet based and turn it into an NFT.

Keep y'all bitcoins and NFT's and just let me burn and waste money like the millenial in me is used to. I'm not here for these business ventures that risk my barely-there money. Not only do I not understand fully what they are, I also can't imagine why the heck I need one? No thanks with your volatile investments, Popstars. Just stick to music.

That's insane. People with money are insane. This is morally outrageous.

Ok, so if I understand this correctly in this case I can just screenshot this picture in good quality and save it on my PC/phone for free, or I can buy it for e.g. 1000$ and the only difference is that somewhere in its coding, there will be a special code to say it is one of the originally created pictures?
