Niklas tried to bring the outcome of digital technologies to the physical world. The opening party of the exhibition inaugurated the first blockchain summit of Jab Labs, a company managing projects in the Metaverse. The summit had duration of 2 months throughout which various speeches, networking events and workshops took place. Those activities were aiming to train art lovers as to how they can participate in the Metaverse art market and to analyze themes such as NFTs & Sustainability, Legality in the Metaverse and the social aspect of NFTs.
The Blender Gallery is a contemporary hub of culture and entertainment based in the southern part of Athens. It is a gallery that “blends” all sorts of artistic expression, events and creative activities for kids and adults. (Address: 4 Zisimopoulou St., Glyfada – 16674).
