The first edition of the NFT Biennial: “The Catharsis of a Strange Prophecy”
NFT Biennial Founding Director Rahim Unlu said, “Our first edition, which is shaped in the triangle of nature, human, and technology, sets out with the motto of ‘Catharsis of a Strange Prophecy.’ The conceptual framework of the Biennial takes a poetic approach instead of adhering to a rigid concept, instead posing open-ended and abstract questions to the audience. This approach, symbolized by a three-point question mark, aims to allow each audience to find their own answers. In addition, 9 different pavilions curated by a team of 10 people in different parts of the world come together in the metaverse as well as in physical galleries and turn into a fully phygital experience.”
About the NFT Biennial, TZ Connect’s Head of Arts and Culture Diane Drubay said: “The NFT Biennial is a celebration using art for social impact and technology for togetherness. Deeply rooted in Tezos’ community culture, we look forward to seeing these exhibitions blooming all around the world.”
