實體或虛擬?Physical or Virtual?

NFT Pixel Art 是NFT Art 中最流行的一種,以起格的頭像,模擬80年代的低清視覺藝術。以棉花棒一點點的特質,把虛擬的NFT Art組合成一件實體作品,再把作品拍照,上傳到NFT藝術平台出售。從虛擬到實體,再由實體到虛擬,我是實體還是虛擬的?

NFT Pixel Art is the most popular type of NFT Art nowadays. It simulates the low-resolution visual art of the 1980s with a blurry avatar. With the characteristics of the cotton swab like the pixel, I create an object from a virtual NFT Art concept, and then the work will upload to the NFT Art platform for sale after the photograph. From virtual to physical and from physical to virtual. Am I physical or virtual?
