001// to[SPACE]gether _ #010.SUBMERGED
@marlonportales x @LUISFERN5
Submerged is a state of mind in this unreal and metaphysical space proposed by the Metaverse, a space parallel to reality where our spirit escapes from itself to transcend. This being has an existence thanks to the light that reaches his body and becomes one with the space he inhabits in the form of color.
001// to[SPACE]gether is a multi.disciplinary artist group collaboration exploring concepts and themes of the future of SPACE in the METAVERSE. For this NFT project, @LUISFERN5 wanted to bring together a group of artists from different disciplines and distinct points of views to collaborate on one joint project in the spirit of CREATING and inspiring thought around what SPACE, ART & CULTURE could mean in the Metaverse.
16 artists were identified, and through a series of vague “SECRET FILES” correspondence they were given sequential instructions, assets and inspiration to begin the collaboration, revealing the project along the way.
Every artist was dropped the file with a spatial image from the dis[PLACE]:constructs series and was asked to investigate, manipulate, add-to and transform through their CREATIVE PROCESS.
15 works emerged. Each visually distinct, a unique blending of creative minds and disciplines, to create a collective of work that will live in the METAVERSE and on the blockchain. All linked to[SPACE]gether by a shared creative spirit that is transforming the way we view, experience and collect art and collectibles.
