The Opponents
Tags: Art
Brendan Dawes's mashup hooked me from the first frame. I write about The Opponents, a 2021 AI generated digital sculpture and 3840 x 2160 UHD video that pulls the two fighters from Tekken 1994 into moving generative art and three high res stills. I trace its nod to The Wrestlers at the Uffizi and list NFT Token ID 51498 for collectors.
