A new digital work has just been auctioned.
This is the "Overly Attached Girlfriend" meme, particularly well known on social networks and platforms like 9GAG.
Taken from a parody video published in 2012 on YouTube, this meme has been around the world, making Laine Morris, the young woman in the video, famous.
A cult work therefore, which attracted many buyers during its auction which ended at 411,000 dollars.
It was not the actual photo that was sold, but the property rights to it.
It was actually purchased in the form of an NFT, a non-fungible digital work protected by the blockchain.
A concept which has been on the rise for several weeks and which is infecting more and more people.
A trifle
Sold for $ 411,000 - which is still a nice jackpot for something that doesn't exist outside of the Internet - this meme is far from the most expensive NFT to date.
This title goes to a digital work by specialist artist Beeple whose digital creation “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” was auctioned for $ 69 million.
By offering himself the NFT of the "Overly Attached Girlfriend" meme, the buyer of 3F Music - a music studio fond of this type of art - in fact offered himself the certification of the work, a kind of autography. digital by Laina Morris.
It cannot therefore prevent internet users from using, copying and sharing the same.
Another iconic work of the Internet has also been auctioned, it is the Nyan Cat GIF.
