THE DROP
Beeple has teamed up with Corridor Digital to shine a light on the love of the process. Through
love we find consistency, and through consistency we find quality. With quality we can do good.
“The 2-Hour Portrait” is an exploration of Beeple’s philosophy of daily creation, led by the man himself. Joined by the Corridor Crew – Niko Pueringer, Sam Gorski, Wren Weichman, Clinton Jones, and Peter France – artists were paired up and given two hours to create a self-portrait.
At the end of those two hours, a jpeg had to be loaded on a flash drive and placed in a suitcase,
which was then sealed. This no-excuses process celebrates creation and denies perfection,
stating that the value of a piece comes not from technical precision and mastery, but from the
emotion put into the creation.
In honor of the lives lost during the pandemic, 100% of the proceeds of this sale will go to
COVID-19 charities, with Direct Relief (http://directrelief.org/) being the main beneficiary.
