I am mag (@mag_cinephoto), an NFT photographer. Here is a brief profile.
NFT photographer searching for the beauty hidden in everyday life. I do street photography in which reality and fiction are ambiguously intermingled, depicting moments with blank spaces for the imagination. The total sales volume for my work to date is 4.3 ETH.
In this article I provide information and thoughts on my new collection “Multifaceted Tokyo - Open Edition”. This is one of my most challenging works which resulted from personal reflections on the importance of photography and collaboration in NFTs.
Multifaceted Tokyo - Open Edition is a collection consisting of CC0 (*1) photographs, a license that indicates copyright-free, and creations that are a cross between those photographs and CC0 art.
I feel that the web3 space has the property of changing people's sense of curiosity and imagination by minimizing various hurdles such as transfer of ownership and accelerating direct and highly coincidental connections and information input. I was inspired by the original experience of creative freedom brought about by the CC0 art I stumbled upon on the web3 space.
The act of burning a CC0 photo as Origin and redeeming a creation that is a fusion of CC0 photos and CC0 art. The act of doing so inscribes the relationship between the Origin photo as essential and the creation on the blockchain. Curiosity, changes in imagination, inspiration, and thoughts are also expressed on the transaction and become objects of added value. At the same time, by designating Origin's photos as CC0, I hope that they will be positioned in the web3 space as an aid to creativity and inspiration.
This work is a street snapshot of a moment in the multifaceted charm of Tokyo's Ginza district, where reality and virtuality seem to blur together. This work was awarded by 1x.com, the world's most difficult photo curation site.
You can Redeem the NFT of this photo as a creative photo fused with CC0 art by Burn as Origin.
Correlation
Polka-dotted glass, eye-catching red umbrellas, patterns on roads and sidewalks. A correlation created by the combination of elements.
Location: Ginza, Tokyo Year: 2023 Name: Correlation License: CC0
While paying homage to the works of the great artists who are developing CC0 art in the web3 space, I created three derivatives by crossing my own photographs with theirs. During this process I came up with unexpected ideas, which took me by surprise and gave shape to the creations.
These works can be redeemed by burning one of the Origin photos and one of the Correlation NFT photography.

Immersion in red. Through spiral.

This NFT (Correlation) work uses the Burn & Redeem feature of Manifold.
Burn & Redeem is a feature that allows minted NFTs to be burned and deleted from the blockchain, and new NFTs to be redeemed. (See official Manifold documentation for details).
The scheme below shows how it works: Burn one NFT of the origin CC0 photo to redeem one of the three derivative NFTs created with other CC0 art.If you wish to be able to redeem all three derivatives and retain an origin piece, you must mint 4 burnable tokens.
Links to Correlation and the three derivative works (Immersion, Dissolution and Apparition) can be access via this manifold curated page: https://www.curate.page/t/multifaceted-tokyo-oe
The opensea link to the collection: https://opensea.io/collection/multifaceted-tokyo-oe
This work was inspired by the open editions of Checks VV Edition, Proceed w/ Caution, Nyan Baloon, and others that creatively utilized the Burn & Redeem feature from late December 2022 to early 2023.
I was also inspired by participating in pho's Spiral Contest and being strongly attracted to the movement and energy that CC0 licensed art brings.
This creation would not have been possible without the creative freedom of CC0 and the connections made by web3 and NFT. It was the direct connection born of a shared interest in web3 and NFT that gave me the opportunity to expand and challenge my own inner expression, and gave me the courage to transcribe this relationship on the blockchain.
At the same time, by setting the origin photo to CC0, I hope that the photo itself will become a trigger for creation. I hope that my work will be positioned as part of the chain of such a movement.
I hope to continue to explore the possibilities of photographic expression in the context of web3 and NFT, and I look forward to your continued support.
Thank you for reading to the end! If you liked this note, I would appreciate it if you could spread the word by RT or liking it! And if you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to contact me!
