This exhibition of the artist’s first NFTs was inspired by the ancient Greek myth of Aphrodite and Psyche (Aphrodite was the most beautiful of the gods, Psyche was human but her own beauty was stunning, Aphrodite wan’t keen on the comparisons people made) and created with Connectopia. The exhibition also includes augmented reality and take place in the metaverse, with access through VR headsets helping to blur the boundaries between the physical and digital. Says the gallery: “viewers will be immersed in a utopian world where perfection and harmony exist symbolically – a world that could be achieved if humans were to strive for peace and compassion”.
