Metabolic Metropolis

Pace Verso is pleased to announce a new blockchain-backed project by the artistic duo A.A. Murakami produced with the generative art company Bright Moments, known for its presentations of live “IRL minting” events.

Titled Metabolic Metropolis, A.A. Murakami’s new NFT series will comprise 100 generative artworks released as part of Bright Moments’ “Japanese Contemporary Collection.” Collectors are invited to mint these NFTs as part of an immersive in-person showcase presented by Bright Moments in Tokyo from May 5 to May 10.

Metabolic Metropolis follows A.A. Murakami’s release of the Floating World Genesis NFT series last year. Each of the Floating World Genesis NFTs depicts one of three animated scenes featuring bubbles to chronicle the origins of life on Earth. Bubbles have been an enduring source of inspiration for A.A. Murakami, whose seminal work New Spring (2017) is an interactive, multi-sensory installation that produces mist-filled blossoms.
