THE MEMEIFESTO
FAKE MEMES is a conceptual art collection on Ethereum that aims to mirror current events of the Crypto Art world, Crypto Twitter, and those that have tried to seize the memes for their own intentions. Through the reclamation of original ideas, the project aims to spread awareness of creators from pioneering projects on Counterparty such as Rare Pepe and Fake Rares. By subverting the popular notion of memes as disposable and meaningless, FAKE MEMES aims to challenge viewers to consider the deeper cultural and societal implications of digital art and its place in the art world.
The values of the FAKE MEMES project include:
Highlighting the history, innovation, and originality of Counterparty projects.
Creating art that is intellectual and thoughtful.
Rejecting harassment and bullying: FAKE MEMES will not engage in harassment of adjacent projects on Ethereum that utilize Counterparty directory mechanics and will instead aim to create art that is respectful and thought-provoking.
Reclaiming the original credit of cryptoart pioneers on Counterparty.
Creating memes with the intent of educating and informing: The project will use memes as a medium to educate and inform the viewer about the history and innovation of counterparty-based projects.
Creating a community that is inclusive and respectful.
Creating a positive and meaningful impact on the cryptoart world.
Objectives of the FAKE MEMES project include:
Creating a directory of curated memes on Ethereum.
Elevating and complimenting Fake Rares.
Providing opportunities for artists: ability to showcase work and grow their collector base on Ethereum.
Rewarding collectors: holding MEMEASF Master Pass or MEMEASF Mint Pass assets by providing collectors with exclusive access to curated memes, allow lists, early allow lists, and other incentives.
