ROBNESS IS A SELF-TAUGHT, MULTI-FACETED ARTIST FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. HE IS ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF NFT ART, AND HIS WORK HAS BEEN FEATURED IN MAJOR EXHIBITIONS AROUND THE WORLD. HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST ARTISTS TO ADOPT THE COUNTERPARTY PROTOCOL IN 2016, WHICH ALLOWED HIM TO CREATE AND SELL HIS WORK AS NFTS WITH FELLOW ARTISTS FROM THE RAREPEPE COMMUNITY. IN 2019, ROBNESS CREATED THE "64 GALLON TOTER", A SATIRICAL WORK THAT CHALLENGED THE NOTIONS OF COPYRIGHT AND OWNERSHIP IN THE NFT SPACE. THE WORK WAS BANNED FROM THE SUPERRARE MARKETPLACE, BUT IT HELPED TO LAUNCH ROBNESS AS A LEADING FIGURE IN THE NFT ART COMMUNITY, WHICH EVENTUALLY BIRTHED THE #TRASHART MEME/MOVEMENT. ROBNESS'S WORK OFTEN EXPLORES THEMES OF IDENTITY, TECHNOLOGY, AND THE HUMAN CONDITION. HE IS KNOWN FOR HIS USE OF HUMOR, IRONY, AND SUBVERSION. HIS WORK HAS BEEN PRAISED FOR ITS ORIGINALITY, CREATIVITY, AND TECHNICAL INNOVATION.
