12-to-Many Art: from the traceability of wood to the traceability of the artwork
20/01/2026
It is precisely this origin that makes its evolution into an artistic practice natural:
a real network generated a narration, and from that narration art emerged.
When the artistic project 12-to-Many took shape from that same wood, the question returned in the same terms:
how to prevent the artwork from losing its connection to its material origin.
In the art world, there is no third-party body equivalent to PEFC.
There is, however, a tool capable of performing a similar function: blockchain technology.
The use of NFTs in 12-to-Many does not stem from an aesthetic or technological choice, but from an infrastructural necessity:
to publicly record, in a non-alterable way, the continuity between the digital artwork and its physical origin.
In this sense, blockchain does not certify art, just as PEFC does not certify architecture.
PEFC guarantees the traceability of the wood used; blockchain guarantees the traceability of the artwork that emerges from that wood.
For 12-to-Many, cryptoart is not a language to be exhibited, but a tool to avoid breaking the journey:
from the forest, to the house, to the artwork.
