These works digital works are informed by Smith’s athletic achievements and his salute for human rights salute at the 1968 Olympic Games.Invisible Man (Ceremony) (2021) is inspired by the opening ceremony of the Olympics and Kaino’s three-dimensional, life-sized sculpture Invisible Man (Salute). The NFT depicts the figurative sculpture in the middle of a stadium. The monumental work disappears as it dissolves into the reflection of thousands of protesters. Presented on an infinite loop, Invisible Man (Ceremony) incorporates a custom soundtrack by musician and producer David Sitek.Based on Kaino’s sculptural series Salute, the NFT Salute (Generations) (2021) features a seemingly infinite display of digitally animated sculptures of Smith’s arm. In his three-dimensional works of this kind, the artist uses mirrors to create infinite reflections of the arm sculpture. For Salute (Generations), Kaino makes use of this illusory effect to addresses the ways that protest movements evolve over time.
