  • The famous restaurateur launched “Fantasy Foods,” a nostalgic and delectable NFT project, following a mysterious tweet during Art Basel.
  • Artwork will soon travel to other cities and locales around the U.S.
  • From December 1 to December 4, the yearly Miami Beach Art Festival featured digital art front and center as Web3 occupied downtown Miami.

Jeremy Fall, the owner of the famous restaurant Probably Nothing, tweeted some cryptic details about a forthcoming art project that would be on display at this year’s Miami Art Basel.

The enigmatic artwork that Fall alluded to in his tweet showed a vending machine with specially selected “dream” goodies. Since every IRL-packed snack has NFC technology, customers can redeem the snack as an NFT online without the aid of an external app or device.

The concealed vending machine is illuminated by a neon “ff” sign outside the Miami Convention Center and is likewise located in a secure area. Fall stresses that revealing any details about the location, pictures, or videos is not permitted and will result in a person’s admission to the forthcoming in-person mint being revoked.

The founder of Probably Nothing also hinted that this new installation may go to further locations and cities, but he didn’t go into much detail beyond that at this time. An NFT airdrop of the curated snack was made available to those who visited the installation during Art Basel.
