The Tezos Foundation, a partner of some of the world’s most illustrious galleries and institutions, has commissioned ArtMeta to create the first contemporary art museum in ArtMeta’s metaverse, to debut in Davos this January during the World Economic Forum. This is the first collaboration between ArtMeta and the Tezos ecosystem, a partnership which values the importance of contemporary art being represented in the Web3 world in the highest quality.
According to the concept of this digital museum, a few months ago a giant meta-octopus, whose tentacles measure approximately 300 meters in length, washed up on the shores of ArtMeta’s first island, Tchan-Zâca. The ArtMeta development team transformed the inside of this beast to become its first contemporary art museum called the Octopus Contemporary Art Museum, or ‘OCAM’. The first wing — the Davos wing, in the form of the octopus’s tentacle, will feature artwork minted on the Tezos blockchain, curated by ArtMeta in collaboration with the largest Tezos-based NFT marketplace, objkt.com.
This museum will be unveiled to the public for the first time at CV Labs’ ‘Davos Networking Lounge’ during the WEF in Davos, 16–19th January 2023. There ArtMeta, along with adjacent partners TrustSwap and Kuble Metaverse Academy, will present an immersive exhibition of contemporary art, NFTs and the metaverse. Read more about this here.
The CV Labs’ ‘Davos Networking Lounge’, where the public can experience the OCAM through VR, will be open daily, 16–19th January from 1pm to 9pm. The lounge will serve coffee until 5pm, after which the space becomes an after-work aperó. All guests are welcome and entry is free, please RSVP using this link. The lounge is located at Katholische Kirchgemeinde, Ob. Str. 33, 7270 Davos, Switzerland.
