The Passage of Ra
Created by
A fleeting snapshot, captured as an NFT, forever transformed...
The installation at NFT Paris was made possible by utilizing proprietary technology developed by the artist, which simultaneously fired physical fog rings and their digital twins toward a digital generative seascape displayed on screens. As the physical rings hit the screens, they dissolved, and their digital twins appeared - rippling the surface of the water in the generative scene before sailing off into the infinite horizon. Much like a camera uses light through a lens to capture a decisive moment, generative code captured the physical phenomenon of the swirling vortex of fog rings.
As a multi-sensory physical environment that also exists on the blockchain, The Passage of Ra breaks new ground in our long-standing relationships with technology and the natural world. Just as the ancient Egyptians used the latest technology of their time to pay homage to the sun, in this work the technology of our time is similarly harnessed to celebrate the natural systems on which our existence and future relies.

Their unique sensory installations are an ongoing series of works, which follows the tradition of artists emulating nature.
