Light and Nectar Water 1 | How can NFT become a new medium for mass participation in art museums?

I personally like the exhibitions of Beijing Normal University Art Museum, from "Immortal Youth" all the way to "Light. Enlightenment and Consciousness of Taiwanese Culture" (My favorite is "Map of New High Mountains" by Nasuya Castle in 1930). It is hard to imagine that there will be opportunities in life to work with partners of Beijing Normal University Art Museum, as well as Ganlushui documentary directors Jun Ni and Bang Quan.

Quoting the official content:

[NFT "Kng" is about to be released by the National Taipei University of Education Beijing Normal University Art Museum]

In order to preserve the beautiful memory between the audience and the exhibition, and to preserve the unique imprint of "light" on the works, Lin Manli, the chief curator of the exhibition, invited two artists, Huang Bangquan and Lin Junni, the directors of the documentary "Nectar Water", to create a tailor-made "Light". Kng" NFT, which is jointly launched by the non-profit organization FAB DAO (Formosa Art Bank) and issued on the AkaSwap platform of the environmental protection blockchain Tezos, tries to use the characteristics of permanent preservation of the blockchain to transform "Light - Taiwanese Culture" The memories of enlightenment and self-consciousness” are cast in the boundless metaverse.

At the same time, Lin Manli hopes that in the future, through this plan, a path of light, "Kng" DAO, which will gather the strength of everyone, will lead to the future of Taiwanese art.

Back to NFT, this time, let’s talk about what kind of imagination can be created when Lumière, the centennial exhibition of the Cultural Association, meets NFT.

I think it's POAP art.

POAP (Proof of Attendance Protocol) means the Proof of Attendance Protocol. The most famous case is POAP.xyz. As the event organizer, you can make small badges and distribute them to all friends who have participated in the event.

POAP records the large and small activities that participants have participated in in their lives, and is issued on the xDAI blockchain. The accumulation of POAP is actually amazing, and it represents the digital footprint you are willing to expose.

In a future world, on-chain reputation equals digital footprint.

What if your digital footprints have ever been to an art museum?

Or, how about your digital footprint becoming part of the artwork?

So we upgraded the concept of POAP and made NFT a part of mass participation.

The exhibition is called Lumière, and the NFT is called Kng. It appeals to the participation of the masses and pays tribute to the predecessors of the Cultural Association a hundred years ago.

Our approach is to gaze at the work and make the gaze part of the consensus.

Kng NFT

The special feature of the "Light" exhibition is that the Beijing Normal University Art Museum has beautiful natural light, which is sprinkled on the exhibits, especially the sculpture works, such as the "Nanlushui" by Huangtushui. Next, he was born in the world in the form of natural light.

Friends who come to the scene will certainly agree with the beauty of natural light.

But at each point in time, the light is different, giving the audience a different experience, unless you watch it several times.

Therefore, we use the theme of "synchronization" to create NFT through the gaze of the audience. With the eyes of the audience, the directors assembled a three-dimensional point cloud, and the music and sound creations of Zuo Wang Yujun, Cai Wanxuan and Zhou Zhen became the real Kng NFT.

Therefore, Kng, through a process of joint participation, translates everything that the Lumière exhibition presents to us.

Light will change.

At different times, there will be different slices of light, resulting in unique Kng.

Therefore, we will create a farewell party on the last day of the exhibition on 4/24, and invite everyone to record Kng at different times, including sunrise, noon, sunset, and late night. There will be a total of 24 kinds of Kng NFTs.

Viewers who participate in staring and recording can earn Kng NFT.

Kng NFT 24-hour co-creation workshop｜When a century of gaze meets a new imagination of social media

On the closing day of the exhibition, from 7pm on April 24th to 7pm on April 25th, the Beijing Normal University Art Museum will hold a 24-hour co-creation workshop, inviting you to enter the art museum during a time that is usually hard to see, and record different things together. The natural pattern of light and shadow changing over time and spilling over the exhibition hall.
The name of the NFT work "Kng" is taken from the Tailuo pinyin of Guang. The main creative team gathered the audience to stare at the video materials provided by the event participants, and matched the audience voices recorded by the music/sound creators Wang Yujun and Zhou Zhen to capture the audience. The emotional voice that surged in the heart of the "Light" exhibition, and the poet Cai Wanxuan named these unique times, generating 24 different versions of "Kng" NFT.
From evening to night, dawn to dusk, we say goodbye to the light show for 24 hours. Photographing with light, echoing with sound, engraving and casting the memory of this moment and here, and reborn in another universe.

Besides, how to get Kng NFT?

I think the thinking of Mr. Lin Manli and Director Rocean is very cutting-edge.

This batch of Kng cannot be purchased with cryptocurrencies. Airdrops can only be obtained by "purchasing albums". When I saw the thickness and content of the album today, I really admire it.

Friends who bought the album of "Light" can get "Good Clam" NFT as long as they open a wallet and register, and if they hold the "Kng" NFT until the end of May, they will automatically receive the "Kng" NFT airdrop. As for what kind of light and Sound, the years are quiet, please look forward to it.

A hundred years ago, the Cultural Association had an airdrop. Xie Wenda flew the "Taipei" plane and distributed 200,000 petitions to the Taiwan Parliament over Tokyo. What an exciting airdrop.

Now in the era of web3, airdrops have a completely different meaning.

But airdrops should be given to like-minded people to establish like-minded associations (DAOs), which will not change even after a hundred years.

Therefore, Kng NFT will be airdropped to those who love "Light", to those who collect albums, become a bottom-up community, and even slowly go to explore Kng DAO on the way, what will it be like? A new type of mass participation may even slowly change the ecology of art museums.

I really admire Mr. Lin Manli and Director Rocean Wang . This is not an easy route, but it is definitely a visionary one. Perhaps it should be in line with the literary association a hundred years ago. It is an ideal world of co-governance. (Although the Cultural Association later hard forked two routes...)

Returning to the conclusion, I think POAP (Proof of Attendance Agreement) has become a NFT for artworks, and at the same time completes the "presence" of exhibitions, the "translation" of classic artworks, and at the same time creates the common "participation" of the masses, which is a good self-confidence work.

Everyone is welcome to collect the album of "Light", or sign up for the "Light" after-night festival starting at night on 4/24. If you are interested, please pay close attention to the fan page of Beijing Normal University Art Museum.

FAB DAO is honored to participate as a cooperating unit and is grateful.

Finally, this is the first version of the NFT "Kng-huà-oo" (Kng-huà-oo), created and created by fifty friends.

akaSwap - Light—Hua Wu Kng—huà-oo

Let everyone have a glimpse.

This work is a commemorative test version of "Kng" NFT, only for participants of the experimental workshop, a total of 50 copies. The official version will be jointly created by everyone in the co-creation workshop.
