What is Splat?

Splat is an interesting and fun collection of 1,000 soup can NFTs created by Devotion on the Ethereum blockchain in partnership with New-York based artist Danny Cole.

The innovative concept was inspired by the recent action of two climate activists who threw soup on Vincent van Gogh´s ´Sunflowers´ to protest against fossil fuels.

In the past 24 hours since minting, the collection has already accumulated a volume of $885,02k from a total sales count of 1,575.

This is their first collection as an NFT project seeking to improve UX, open-source novel code, and melt ideas exploring the countless possibilities in the NFT space. The delicious soup has all the right ingredients: culture, tech, and urgency all into one spicy bowl! 

Devotion is founded by journalist, NFT influencer, and artist Andrew Wang, together with sighduck and Backseats. You can think of Devotion as a creative factory, reminiscent of Andy Warhol´s iconic New York studio but in a digital world where “art changes and art changes you”. 

Why the hype and how does it work? 

The idea behind the collection and the tech are brilliant. It captures the essence of a timely real-world rebellious event and allows us to make it our own in an imaginary setting without limits for self-expression. 

It is bold and playful at the same time, and the best part is that you don´t even have to own the NFTs that you soup, creating your own splattered versions. Here is how it works: 

• NFT holders can soup via the Splat contract allowing them to input the NFT contract address and NFT token ID of the NFT they want to soup.
• The Splat contract extracts the image data of the selected NFT directly from that collection´s contract and covers it with digital soup.
