Expanding into the Metaverse with NFTs
Bustani Agency's “The Digital Archive” is a blockchain backed archival project featuring the stunning analog color and infrared slides of artist Lawrence Horn, who photographed from 1973 to 1986. By leveraging the power of NFTs, we are able to bring Lawrence's visionary psychedelic photography to the forefront, allowing audiences to engage, appreciate, and acquire his works in a manner previously unimagined. Remarkably, our initial release of sixty meticulously scanned images was met with overwhelming enthusiasm, selling out in less than three hours on the Ethereum blockchain. With thousands of works still to be seen, the potential for further exploration and appreciation of Lawrence Horn's artistic legacy remains vast, promising art enthusiasts and collectors a continuous journey of discovery and inspiration. This endeavor aligns seamlessly with Lawrence's artistic ethos, which seeks to amplify this generation's appreciation for the inherent richness of analog experiences in an increasingly digitalized, "post-apocalyptic" era. We invite you to explore and immerse yourself in our infrared metaverse gallery experience by clicking here.
