NuvolaProject for POP-IN NFT reverberates its message, bringing to the surface a journey through the light in projection, amidst the works of two now iconic collections, ‘Art Prophecies’ [find out more about creation process for these artworks] and ‘Messages from Earth.’ Six pieces, a single thread of discourse to navigate the phygital labyrinth of our contemporary world, where Art, both message and messenger, oracle and sibyl, becomes a bridge that connects the physical reality and the metaverse. It awakens and urges our awareness, calling us to be assertive actors, actively contributing to the construction of a better world.
