Last week, Adidas announced the launch of their RESIDENCY program, a new digital arts initiative that provides a platform for emerging artists in the Web3 space. The program will be activated worldwide on September 7 during Korean Blockchain Week in Seoul and The Gateway Korea and will showcase adidas’ first-ever Limited and Open Edition NFT sale.
Adidas /// Studio proudly introduced the first two artists to grace their initiative: the enigmatic MonkeeMoto and the illustrious Adra Kandil, popularly known as DearNostalgia. The newly created work from both artists is currently on display at The Gateway Korea and is now available for release from September 6 to 11.
The Limited Edition consists of 100 pieces for each artist and comes with a special hoodie, exclusively for visitors to the event. This package costs 0.15 ETH. The Open Edition is set at 0.03 ETH. Both will go on sale September 6, starting at 9 p.m. Korean Standard Time (2 p.m. CET).
Adra Kandil aka Dear Nostalgia
Lebanese artist Adra Kandil combines modern truths and collective nostalgia through her unique blend of photography, collages, typography and digital montages. Learn more about her story in the world of Web3 in our latest Next Up feature. The digital art collectible she created and is part of the limited edition open edition for RESIDENCY is ‘soles/souls/seoul’.
A visual story that explores the essence of childhood, memory and the drive for innovation. Step into an immersive experience that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy. “To live, to feel alive, forever.”
The piece is currently being released on Manifold.
MONKEEMOTO
MONKEEMOTO is a digital visionary, excelling in digital artistry, web3 game development and conceptual design. MonkeeMoto was also featured in the Next Up movie last week, as we delved into his artistic journey. His latest piece “MOTO – CREATIVES” was the second addition to the open edition of RESIDENCY and is also available as a coin on Manifold.
“A Sakura Dreamscape:” This artwork is inspired to capture the essence of “Japan’s iconic and beautiful cherry blossom season and transform it into a vibrant tapestry of imagination.”
The Limited Edition offer ends when 100 NFTs are sold or before September 8, 8:00 PM KST (1:00 PM CET). Sales of the Open Edition end on September 11 at 07:00 KST (12:00 CET). Visitors to Korean Blockchain Week during the adidas activation will also be able to purchase a specific adidas hoodie featuring /// Studio’s signature sideways cloverleaf along with the Limited Edition NFT. The coin will be live until September 11 at 12:00 CET.
