100K Minimum bid VR NFT Art Auction
THE BR8VE VR art at Terra Virtua
Follow the drop on Twitch from https://www.twitch.tv/terravirtua
Starting soon 2PM BST lasting until 27th.
Auction lasts on Terra Virtua from today until the 27th during the AIBC Summit in Dubai.
The VR Glasses and the work will be available to see both at the conference as well as privately upon request.
Watch the sneak peak film here from VESA’s studio.
The BR8VE
It was first an artwork commissioned by an early anonymous crypto OG, who revealed that Satoshi Nakamoto is eight different experts in their fields. ‘The story of Bitcoin thus far’ took me five months to convert into an artwork, and a further six months with the 3D wizard Frank Spalteholz, as well as composer Mighty33 to transform it into an exclusive VR artwork.
The piece has a 30-minute mini-documentary about it, explaining the substance. Watch here
The first out of 10 NFT is reserved for the mystery OG, who may be one of the eight people, and nine others will now be sold to the market with a Varjo headset. The Finnish company Varjo has the world’s most advanced VR headset, only available for industrial players like Apple, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Volvo, etc. The headset is not commercially available and has an astonishing 8K resolution that people fly airplanes with and perform surgery in major hospitals – and you. The NFT comes with the headset, controllers, a powerful laptop, and a physically signed big print copy of the original version. It is set up for troubleshooting remotely to ensure a smooth transition.
You can see a 2D preview of the work here, as well as hear the glorious soundtrack by Mighty, which captures the danger, tension, and power of the Bitcoin island perfectly in its purgatory.
100K USD minimum bid
The bids for the 2/10 version will start from 100K USD, but as we know that people like exclusive things, for this very first version only, we will offer a ‘buy now’ option for 1M USD, which means no other versions will come to market. It will then be a 2/2.
