Everybyte: The First 0 Byte

This artwork is a 0 Byte of the famous "Beeples | First 5000 Days" that sold as an NFT art piece for $69M USD.
The Beeples art itself is hosted on an IPFS network, and is thus downloadable by anyone.
I downloaded the file, opened it with notepad, selected and deleted all the data, and saved the file, resulting in a 0 byte file.
It is still the same file as the one sold in the auction and referenced in the NFT, but with 0 data.

I did this as a statement - NFT art has an enormous carbon footprint, as it requires electricity to host, mine, and perform NFT transactions. This footprint is incredibly large. A single NFT art piece can consume as much as 2 years' worth of an average person's typical electricity use. This is damaging to our ecosystem, and a wasteful way of trading and selling art.

At the time of this writing, the original Beeples artwork has produced over 78,000 kilograms of CO₂ emissions.

By turning the original art file into a 0 byte file, I have minimized its carbon footprint.

The 0 byte artwork file is available on the IPFS network, at this link:

Please note that I still retain all rights to this file, but viewing is ok.
