The first NFT (non-fungible token) exhibition hosted by the Metaverse Industry Association of Macau (MIAM) titled “Dream Space: New Wave in the Metaverse NFT Art Exhibition” is being held at the H853 Fun Factory at Lisboeta Macau, showcasing the works of NFT artists.
According to a recent MIAM statement, the exhibition showcases 37 artworks from “famed artists CryptoPunks, BAYC (Bored Ape Yacht Club), Andreas Ivan (courtesy of Mr Arnaldo Ho), David Yuan, Ting Song and Álvaro Barbosa”.
There are also screenings from We Are What We Eat, which the statement said is “the world’s only edible NFT dining experience (created by André Chiang)”, as well as the large-scale metaverse theme park METASENS, which is run by Imperium Technology Group Limited (00776.HK).
The exhibition is curated by former Macau Art Museum Visual-Art instructor Cai Guojie, the statement said.
The Sandbox, meanwhile, showcases creations by multiple Sandbox creators. The statement pointed out that the Sandbox is “an industry-leading gaming metaverse” that has over 200 partners such as Adidas, Snoop Dogg, The Walking Dead, Ocean Park, and Sun Hung Kai Company.
The statement underlined that visitors can experience creating avatars and architecture at the Sandbox workshop.
MIAM founder and President Thomas Ao was quoted in the statement as saying: “NFT and metaverse are some of the megatrends that uniquely combine art and culture, technology and finance. By teaming up with renowned NFT artists worldwide, we hope to raise NFT awareness in the region and bring a new dimension of art and tech experience in front of visitors and locals.”
