We’re back and we’re ready for action! Artifex returned for the second year to NFT NYC, collaborating with the most innovative minds in web3 to produce a legendary event – NFT SEA proved to be nothing short of epic! 

We took over Seaport NYC and IPIC Movie Theater with ALLSHIPS, Animus, Atomic Form, Blockparty, Guppy NFT and many more partners, sponsors, artists, and builders. The day was packed with art, music, film, friends, and unforgettable fun!

6/ @NFTNYCSEA was an extraordinary event where we found everything, with an enviable cultural energy, very good art, very good music, food, excellent projects represented, and a friendly and positive audience. pic.twitter.com/4Dykr3Lk3h

Artifex Sculpture Garden 

Outside, we worked with illust.space to activate the Artifex Sculpture Garden in AR. Our favorite 3D works of art were brought to life in grand scale! 

The Artifex AR Sculpture Garden can be experienced any time at Seaport NYC so check it out next time you’re in town.

Activating the Artifex Sculpture Garden in AR with @IllustSpace was an absolute dream – I am so stoked on what’s possible for the future.

Don’t worry if you missed @NFTNYCSEA – You can check it out next time you visit Seaport NYC!! https://t.co/Z9sGMNaxCS https://t.co/zVC23hlExw

Inside at IPIC Fulton Market, the vibes were immaculate in the Artifex Theater, where we welcomed collectors and several artists for intimate talks throughout the evening.

The full-length feature begins with a thrilling tour through all the 3D sculptures in the collection, followed by a glimpse into the immersive Artifex Unreal worlds. These stunning visuals were created by Artifex Art Interaction Director, Justin Wetch, also one of our first Artifex Spotlight artists along with Laith Safa and JeyRam. 

Each of these three had their own spotlight moment – their recent Artifex collector airdrops were a main feature of the film. Artwork from their most recent NFT collections was also shown. Stay tuned for what’s coming next from these impressive emerging artists! 

Never forget those who blazed the trails you walk.
