The
installation
has
been
exhibited
from
November 28th to December 4th at Visionnaire
Miami. The project was presented in a unique
setting
intertwining
physical
and
digital
experiences, an enveloping velour drape clouds
the Apollo Belvedere in all of its forms showcasing
the final NFT drop and the marble bust. The
installation triggers visitors’ senses and transport
them into the NFT world. Walking down Biscayne
boulevard, the attention falls toward the Apollo
Belvedere NFT projected on a led-wall inside
Visionnaire Miami’s display. The video invites
visitors to discover the installation and to enter
into the imaginative world of the metaverse.
The project continues in the tour of the main
events related to the world of art and - after Art
Basel Miami - it arrives in Dubai during the Art
Dubai week. The project, where meta-luxury and
metaverse meet in a single place - the Theater of
Digital Art (ToDA) - is presented with an immersive
video installation where physical and digital
experiences intertwine.
Launched in April 2022, Apollo Belvedere - the first VISIONNAIRE NFT project - explores innovative art
and design languages in the era of Web3. The synergy between the Visionnaire’s expertise and the artist
Jonathan Monaghan’s aesthetics has created a strong bond between craftsmanship traditions and the
digital age. Imagination is the key element in Visionnaire’s act of transformation of precious materials into
products for unique environments. This project expresses the brand’s ongoing relationship and dialogue
with the Avant-garde. Apollo Belvedere is both a marble sculpture and animation, uniquely bound
together with NFT+ technology. Combined with the marble sculpture, Monaghan created his video, a
surreal 3D animation of an alien spaceship revealing a sculpture in a baroque setting. The bust faces the
fiery red panther, a symbol associated with the ancient Greek god Dionysus and the concept of chaos.
