Madonna, 63, stunned the internet when she collaborated with a digital artist to create three NFT videos for charity. The majority of the clips feature a computer-generated version of the singer with her legs spread and creepy crawlies and trees emerging from her vagina.
Madonna responded to criticism over her fully naked NFT videos by saying she was simply “doing what women have been doing since the beginning of time.”
The internet went crazy after the Queen of Pop collaborated with a digital artist for his Mother of Creation collection.
She spreads her legs in the three videos as butterflies, trees, robot centipedes, and flowers emerge from a 3D scan of her vagina.
While the 63-year-old is no stranger to selling her clothes online, fans argue that this new venture is a step too far.
Some on Twitter have called her “desperate for attention” and “creepy,” but Madonna, as always, refuses to let anyone dim her radiance.
In an interview with the artist himself, Mike Winkelmann who goes by the name of Beeple, she said: “I’m doing what women have been doing since the beginning of time, which is giving birth,”
“But on a more existential level, I’m giving birth to art and creativity and we would be lost without both,” she added.
The collection also involves a 3D print of her genitals and the proceeds will be given to three charities: National Bail Out, V-Day and Voices of Children.
“I think it’s really important that a lot of thought and conversation went into creating these videos,”
In the interview, which she shared to her Instagram page she revealed the conversations between her and Beeple in which the pair discussed their visions.
“I say we need a forest with creepy crawly bugs coming out of me,” she continued.
“Not often does a robot centipede crawl out of my vagina,” the singer joked.
She joked that ‘it’s not every day a centipede crawls out of my vagina’
NFT stands for non-fungible tokens and is a piece of art which is digital and totally unique.
It’s also non transferrable and cannot be duplicated – which makes them limited and rare.
“My journey through life as a woman is like that of a tree. Starting with a small seed, always pushing against the resistance of the Earth. The endless weight of gravity,” she could be heard saying throughout the one-minute clip.
She teamed up with Beeple, a digital artist, to make three videos
The first clip sees a digitalised version of Madonna inside a glass case, giving birth to a tree.
The second she is perched on top of a truck in a apocalyptic setting with her legs spread allowing butterflies to emerge.
In the NFT’s description it reads: “the metamorphosis journey of butterflies, which are one of the most beautiful creations in nature, and a sign of hope.”
“The butterflies are a metaphor for the paradox that the world is burning down in a post-apocalyptic scene, but there is still evidence of life,” it continues.
