The series of ten digital drawings by the Austrian media artist Peter Kogler was originally made on a Commodore 64 in 1984 and represents one of his first explorations with an assisted computer drawing software called KoalaPainter and its corresponding graphics tablet. The works are humorous and playful precursors of the recent evolutions in the NFT space and demonstrate how pixel art and visual language found their way into his artistic practice long before NFTs were known. By minting the .koa collection on the Ethereum blockchain, Koglers early works are reborn as unique, immutable and transferable tokens. With his new NFT collection Koglers pioneering spirit is yet again pushing the envelope of societal and technological innovation through his art.
