Arcadia

By Arch Hades

Arcadia sold for 415,000 as an NFT. The story of Arcadia in a 648-line narrative poem, split into five cantos, that explores our 21C existential crisis of alienation and anxiety brought on by consumerism, instant gratification, and mass media that replaced the void of meaning and habit left by organised religions in the 20C. Arcadia argues that even though our symptoms are psychological, our problems are philosophical at their root, and so urges us to overcome nihilism by embracing solitude, individuality, self-ownership, beauty, and art.
