Discover SCENEDavid Lynch, the American filmmaker beloved for his dark, surreal, and decidedly original body of work, passed away this week at the age of 78. An avid experimenter and experimentalist, Lynch was always open to the new—even when it came to blockchain technology.In 2021, back when NFTs were new and strange to most people, Lynch worked with the indie rock band Interpol to create a series of eight audiovisual collectibles on the Ethereum blockchain.A decade prior, in 2011 Lynch had—at Interpol’s request—created a series of visuals for the band’s performance at Coachella. Those visuals became the five-minute animated short film “I Touch A Red Button Man,” which accompanied Interpol’s then-new song, “Lights.”For the NFT series, that collaboration was revisited to create several immersive, psychedelic-feeling clips of “Red Button Man” situated in rusty television monitors—and uploaded onto the Ethereum blockchain forever.Excited to announce the Lynch X Interpol project by @DAVID_LYNCH and @Interpol This collaboration will drop seven unique one-of-one NFT artworks every two days for two weeks on SuperRare as timed auctions.
