Collaborations & Lab Releases:

Transient Labs x ArtVerse’s Tommy Hollenstein & Foodmasku Duo Exhibition in Paris: This summer, we partnered with ArtVerse Paris for a captivating duo exhibition featuring the extraordinary works of Tommy Hollenstein and Foodmasku. Running from July 25 to September 8, 2024, during the Olympics and Paralympics, the exhibition reimagines the Olympic spirit through Tommy’s abstract impressionist pieces—created using the wheels of his wheelchair—and Foodmasku’s unique edible masks that explore culture and nutrition. Each artwork is secured with a digital Certificate of Authenticity powered by T.R.A.C.E., preserving its provenance on the blockchain. 

‘Deco’ by Paul Seibert: Deco is the first artwork to Alpha test our Dynamic Art Engine. It allows collectors to toggle between four unique images of the Chrysler Building's art deco architecture, capturing how light transforms its surroundings throughout the day. Minted on the ERC-7160 (Multi-Creation Token) contract, Deco offers the flexibility to expand over time with new artworks or airdrops. Paul Seibert, our first Alpha tester, has created a truly dynamic piece that evolves with future additions, redefining how collectors engage with art. Mint Here. 

‘Drive’ by Dave Krugman: Congratulations to Dave and the entire NiftyGateway team on the incredible DRIVE // LAP 2 release! It’s been amazing to see this visionary project come to life, and we’re honored that The Lab was a part of it. We’re excited to see what comes next! 🚗
