Featuring 8 pieces in total: three audio-visual works offered as open collections, four static artworks offered as both silent auctions and raffle drawings, and one standalone piece featuring an unreleased song, The Weeknd’s “Acephalous” NFT collection raised over $2 million on Nifty Gateway.

The title of the collection goes in favor of the designs featuring the “headless” motif, which Nifty Gateway explained as “the decentralized governance of blockchain communities, and the decapitated visage featured in the pieces, severed from the source of its initial value.”

The collection also takes inspiration from “a shared love of the dialogue between neo-futurism and dystopian narratives, and seeing natural forms represented in digital space.”
