Phygital Art For The Win: How Cozomo De Medici Empowers Future Artists

NFT whale Cozomo de’ Medici partners with Avant Arte for a collection of physical artworks by top Web3 artists. The program aims to introduce digital artists to a mainstream audience by creating unique physical artworks.

The artist list will be revealed on Twitter between June 28-30, with the collection launching on July 25th.

Cozomo de’ Medici hopes the partnership will foster appreciation for both digital and physical art.

Avant Arte, founded in 2015 as an art-themed blog, has become a global marketplace for curated artworks. In March 2022, they ventured into NFTs, collaborating with artists like David Rudnick and FVCKRENDER.

Meanwhile, every time I create ‘art’ 🤡 

This partnership bridges the Web3 space and the real-life art world, challenging digital artists and inviting real-life art collectors into the NFT market. It’s truly the best of both worlds!

Will AI Save The Metaverse?

The metaverse takes a backseat as tech giants like Meta focus on AI, reflecting the growing interest in its potential. AI applications like OpenAI's ChatGPT attract investors and users, surpassing 100 million active users.

The question remains: Can AI save the metaverse?

The AI market is projected to grow at 37.3% annually, reaching over $1.5 trillion by 2030.

AI's popularity overshadows the metaverse, despite significant investments. AI finds success in fashion, while metaverse fashion struggles. Early-stage development and accessibility hinder metaverse fashion, leading brands to turn to AI. China shifts focus, closing metaverse ventures.

We’re quite rightly in the Age of AI, but are we secretly steering towards a true metaverse?

AI and the metaverse can coexist, combining creativity and trust. Apple hints at AI integration in its Vision Pro headset.

However, the metaverse remains relevant for creative expression. When AI and the metaverse collaborate, exciting opportunities arise, empowering users and expanding accessibility.

🚀Thoughts On Azuki?

Crypto Twitter is abuzz about Azuki’s latest Elementals mint. Opening up to mixed reviews surrounding tons of problems including mint windows, duplicate artwork (that seems unfinished), and even an overpriced mint price; is this Azuki’s fall from grace? 

Or is this an opportunity for an insane marketing u-turn? There’s a lot of FUD already surrounding the project, we’d like to hear your thoughts on the latest $38 Million mint by the esteemed anime PFP.

Is Azuki Done For?
