POAP as a VIP for the first ever Metaverse Festival!

SteamPunk Quest by DappCraft in Decentraland

On July 24 at 4 pm UTC, DappCraft Agency will host a reconstruction of the first Moon Landing — Apollo 11 in the Decentraland Metaverse. At the event, there will be the announcement of a collection of unique wearables featuring the Apollo 11 mission patch, designed in collaboration with Nicholas Graham award-winning fashion designer & Banquet Metaverse Studio. Today we live in a world full of innovation, this is something Apollo 11 is largely responsible for. Particularly, for the fact that the Apollo crew proved that anything is possible, thereby inspiring generations of dreamers around the world. 52 years later, we want to show how it happened, but this time in the Metaverse. Metaverse studio Banquet builds teams of best-in-class creators from different disciplines and connects them to collaborate on unique and culturally impactful projects... This time, Banquet combined designs and concepts of a cult innovative fashion designer Nicholas Graham with the production and transfer of his vision into Decentraland by one of their main agencies within the Metaverse — DappCraft. This dynamic team is spread over several continents, but all the team members are united by a common goal — a detailed interpretation of the spirit of one of the greatest events in human history to the metaverse. We want this launch to be remembered as the beginning of a new era. An era of limitless possibilities for the realization of dreams in the crypto universes. Our main goal is to enable new generations to open up boundless horizons for imagination. We hope this event will be an important cut-off for those not ready to put up with borders and barriers. We believe that the impossible does not exist!

The Museum of Crypto Art (M○C△) is a museum that lives in the metaverse and exhibits art across digital platforms and worlds. It is a foundation, governance vehicle, and incubator working with artists to define crypto art, preserve its legacy, and pioneer democratic curation. M○C△'s Sculpture Garden in Decentraland features a unique collection of 3D objects in a surrealist context. The exhibit highlights Hackatao's Leonardo Da Vinci-inspired sculpture, employing the same stylistic goals of this work: modernizing genius from the Italian Renaissance in a digital context. The Sculpture Garden plays with texture, light, and color to create anticipation and lead viewers through a gamified artistic experience. M○C△ will exhibit Hackatao's 'Hack of a Bear' created in collaboration with Christie's from July 11th in Decentraland. Inspired by Renaissance architecture, the Decentraland build consists of a tall hedge maze which will also serve as a sculpture garden for the 9 works listed below. At the center of the maze will lie a lone building which will house Hackatao’s Da Vinci inspired sculpture 'Hack of a Bear' created in collaboration with Christie’s.

Ascendence - A MakersPlace Group Art Show As we move to new heights in the digital art space, let's take a moment to reflect and celebrate some of the movement's earliest participants - Alongside them are the artists which they’ve inspired and enabled to ascend into an ever-widening spotlight. The following is a collection of unique creations from MakersPlace artists, both established and new, highlighting the vast creative possibilities of digital art and NFTs. Join us in an artistic ascendence.

Moniker Projects is proud to present ‘Proper Recognition’ as part of Decentraland Art Week. Showcasing new works from multi-disciplinary artist Ben Eine, this exhibition of NFTs stands to cement his signature neon text works, his history, and his various choice of media in terms of the recognition it deserves, housed in our brand new virtual gallery. Eine has been a long-time collaborator with Moniker Projects, commanding respect for historically undermined creative practices. Widely respected as a graffiti, street and large-scale mural artist, he has advocated for and challenged the contemporary art world to great success. Now, as we wait for the rest of the world to catch up to the strength and staying power of the digital art market, we are ecstatic to be able to present his first NFT show, as we continue to advocate for proper recognition, where proper recognition is due. The exhibition will be housed in our new virtual gallery, a space inspired by east London’s Victorian warehouses. Located close to Voltaire District, alongside Sotherby's Known Origin and SuperRare, we look forward to being a part of the community and Decentraland’s growing arts quarter.
