Enklu, a leading metaverse creation platform, has announced the launch of 'VERSE: Art of the Future' -- an in-person augmented reality NFT art exhibition that blends tech, art, and entertainment. Launching on February 3, the immersive event aims to merge the traditional gallery experience with the burgeoning metaverse landscape.
However, it is worth noting that the event will not be entirely digital either. It will take place at The San Francisco Mint, a Non Plus Ultra venue where guests will be invited to wear a Microsoft HoloLens 2 headset in order to experience the virtual gallery. Headlining names for the exhibition include NFT art heavy-hitters such as Bored Ape Yacht Club, Scott Musgrove, BlockBar, and more.
"We have developed VERSE in a vision of an inclusionary NFT Metaverse with a real-world art experience that connects creators and owners in a physical setting they are familiar with," explained Ray Kallmeyer, the CEO of Enklu and NFT artist.
