Famous NFTs: Non-fungible tokens seemed to have changed a lot of things about how we see art and uniqueness. So here’s another way digital assets are reshaping our lives.
A new exhibition is on the way. It’s called VERSE, and the first stop is in San Francisco. Next stop: Denver, then anywhere in the world that has it. The collection has the big names including pieces from Bored Ape Yacht Club, Scott Musgrove, BlockBar and more.
The art-tech event is a collaboration between Enklu, and Non Plus Ultra. The first show will be held at the historic San Francisco Mint, starting on February the third.
Enklu is a metaverse authoring platform. They say the exhibit is the first in-person augmented reality NFT gallery. “It’s a unique immersive experience that will blow your mind. Our clients, like Arcadia Earth, Meow Wolf, and Outside Lands Festival have all created five-star XR experiences for guests.
Famous NFTs: The future
VERSE is being advertised as the art of the future. It will combine visuals, entertainment and technology. It is where the growing metaversal landscape meets traditional art exhibitions. “Verse is a visionary collaborative, providing NFT creators and owners a new community, platform and space to engage with art in a way accessible to all. Whether you’re a seasoned expert, or jumping in to this disruptive space for the first time, Verse’s NFT concierges are ready to welcome you in.”
Visitors will use the Microsoft HoloLens 2 headset. They can then view the metaverse as a gallery and will be able to see augmented reality art in the metaverse come to life.
Ray Kallmeyer is the CEO of Enklu. He’s also an NFT artist. “We have developed VERSE in a vision of an inclusionary NFT Metaverse with a real-world art experience. It connects creators and owners in a physical setting they are familiar with.”
And let’s not forget green virtual signage. Verse will also partner with a “good for humanity” collective in each curation. The first is AvaTree, a dynamically growing NFT collection that sequesters carbon in real life. We couldn’t find AvaTree online anywhere…so…
Location
The location of the first stop on the tour is the San Francisco Mint. It’s in the downtown area and has been recently renovated. Known as the ‘Granite Lady’ it was opened in 1874. VERSE will take place in the old vaults that used to store gold supplies.
Non Plus Ultra is a location finder for the experiential entertainment industry. They find historical and architecturally significant monuments as iconic event locations. Jordan Langer is the CEO. “The San Francisco Mint once held $300 million worth of gold, which equaled one-third of all gold reserves in the United States. This gold was essential to backing the American currency. There is a beautiful irony to present this crypto-art exhibition in the now empty vaults of the Granite Lady.
Doors open for VERSE: Immersive NFT Exhibit on February 3, 2022.
