The Vancouver Biennale, a public art exhibition in Canada, is preparing to unveil an art installation that incorporates physical and digital worlds as well as blockchain technology\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The installation is set to open to the public on Tuesday and will continue until spring 2023, according to local aficionados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jessica Angel, a New York-based artist, created a 1,800-square-meter work that examines how public space may be made and exploited in both digital and physical realms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The piece is shaped in the real world as a giant two-dimensional vinyl mural, but it also lives in augmented reality via the app and is stored on a blockchain network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArt is a mobilizing force that has the ability to connect seemingly disparate realms, and Voxel Bridge exemplifies this ability,\u201d Angel remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This project transcends the appreciation of art into a unifying and experimenting effort<\/a> that enables blockchain technology, augmented reality, and public art to study new methods of connection” the artist stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The installation is a digital and visual representation of the Kusama network, a decentralized blockchain network that serves as a “canary” chain<\/a> for the larger Polkadot blockchain network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twenty different interactive animations, each of which is represented in the form of a unique nonfungible token (NFT) living on the blockchain, allow viewers to see, touch, and hear the history of the Kusama Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NFTs will be auctioned on Kusama's RMRK art marketplace, with proceeds going toward the project's production costs, which are said to have exceeded $300,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concept was first proposed in October by the Kusama Council, who described it as a multidisciplinary piece and a “high impact art installation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRather than a technical perspective of the Kusama Network, Voxel Bridge will provide an experiential perspective,<\/a>\u201d a council member noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
