NFT BIENNIAL BRUSSELS
An exhibition and an augmented reality experience (AR) without screen
The CATHARSIS of a STRANGE PROPHECY
Posits that all answers end with a question mark. But why? To what end? For us to barricade before our existence when the earth breaks open to swallow whatever trinkets, ethics, and cherished stockpiles we have accumulated? Or to let us wander freely in the void without any center or discernible direction?
NFTS (non-fungible tokens) emerged from the voids of cyberspace and took over the contemporary art scene in the blink of an eye. Despite their explosive emergence on the stage, their deeper meaning has yet to be revealed in our collective memory and future..
Modern technology, the effects of which have yet to be fully realized, has grown into a cosmic force that not only threatens humanity's teetering existence but could also pose ya threat to life on Earth as we know it. Today, humans seem to be in search of immortality with an inexhaustible hope. This hope has traveled far and reached a daunting threshold: facing our species' great fear, our absolute death, our extinction. Like a star collapsing in on itself, is humanity gambling on the galactic scale with an uncertain destiny?
What future lies ahead? Are we even asking the right questions?
The media drift freely in the cosmic void; from what dimension do they call us? How do they reach and respond to the most vulnerable, authentic corners of our minds? What do they offer to our fragile existence? Are we even asking the right questions? Really, what are these images? And most importantly, who or what will we become as we encounter them?
The NFT Biennial, in an effort that is the first of its kind, will attempt to highlight the potential of NFT to become an art form in its own right. With a three-pointed question mark, THE CATHARSIS OF A STRANGE PROPHECY asks you to imagine a happiness without measure and to consider a new portrait of the familiar and the unknown. It invites us to create a poetic human in an abstract digital universe that we may call our true home.
