Please note that the buyer of this NFT Lot will receive full commercial rights to the artwork and will have the option to receive from the artist the creation of a custom, site-specific version of the Immersion Room, which will be considered upon request and coordination with the artist (the “Immersion Room Companion”). Four high quality digital files (one for each wall of the Immersion Room) will be sent directly to the buyer from the artist.
“Step into the Quantum Stargate, a celestial voyage between realms. Within this immersion chamber, you are cradled by golden luminescence, transported through ethereal portals of serenity. This is a haven where the boundaries of reality blur, inviting souls to drift amidst infinite planes of divine light. Dare to transcend, for here lies a bridge between worlds unknown.”
—David Ariew
The monumental Quantum Stargate work represents the culmination of a style that David Ariew has been pursuing since January 2021. An earlier version of the work debuted at the grand opening of Beeple Studios in Charleston, South Carolina in March 2023 to national acclaim. The work is part of the 'Quantum Transcendence' Drop that debuted on MakersPlace in conjunction with a presentation of the associated works at Digital Art Fair Asia - Hong Kong in October 2023.
