New York City’s pioneering cultural and cannabis concept store, Gotham, is gearing up for the latest installment of its vibrant digital generative art series, in partnership with renowned digital art gallery Bright Moments.
Titled “If You Could Do It All Again,” the upcoming event this month will showcase the creative ingenuity of Gotham’s Artist in Residence, Nicole Vella.
Vella’s unique artistic exploration delves into the nuanced idea of time’s relentless forward movement, while also considering its seemingly elusive ability to pause. ‘If You Could Do It All Again’ proposes an intriguing concept of cyclical time, suggesting that our lives are intricately intertwined in loops of experience.
The collection, an enchanting 2D grid of colours, expertly manipulated, reflected and diffused by a rotating glass-like 3D structure, encapsulates this philosophical musing.
With a penchant for installations that challenge the public’s perception of reality, Vella’s work often contemplates the influence of technology on the human experience. This latest collection, showcased in Gotham, is a testament to her ongoing commitment to pushing artistic boundaries.
Gotham, in addition to its artistic endeavors, offers a selection of premium cannabis products, branded goods, fashion items and lifestyle products. This varied offer is complemented by a commitment to meaningful change.
Gotham stood out from any cannabis concept store and partnered with STRIVE, an organization dedicated to harnessing the power of education, jobs, and opportunity for individuals previously incarcerated for marijuana crimes.
Bright Moments, the pioneering NFT Art Gallery that originally originated in Venice Beach, has gained international acclaim for its live IRL coin experiences, best known for one of its signature projects, Qian Qian’s pixel art collection CryptoCitizens. These live coin experiences are held in various cities around the world.
The live open edition coin event, a hallmark of the collaboration series, is scheduled for Thursday, August 24, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM ET. The meeting will take place at Gotham’s prominent two-story retail and gallery space, 3 East 3rd Street, New York, NY 10003.
