Location:

Locust Projects

Open up your senses, relax, and step into the surreal microcosmic environment of Field Companion by Nadia Hironaka and Matthew Suib. Enjoy an intimate electronic performance at Locust Projects by Maitejosune Urrechaga and Tony Kapel (Pocket Of Lollipops) with Daniel Clapp (Nightly Closures). Ever-expanding with branching layers of various frequencies and audio loops, the performance responds to the thread-like patterns of mycelium, forming aural connections amongst the musicians and with the audience.

Crypto for Creatives: A New Renaissance

Crypto for Creatives: A New Renaissance

Join Crypto Maestra, Tam Gryn, for this 5-Week Intensive Course every Wednesday

Location:

Locust Projects
3852 N Miami Ave
Miami, FL 33127

NFT based artworks have exploded since the $69m Beeple splash at Christie’s in March 2021. This has left us all scratching our heads. What are NFTs? What is Crypto? What is The Blockchain? How is that all connected to Bitcoin?

In this class created by Director of Fine Arts at rally.io and head Curator at SHOWFIELDS, Tam Gryn, you will understand what has led us to the Digitalization Movement, what are the practical implications for art, culture, fashion, business, finance, gaming, and beyond. With a focus on the creative community, we will connect the dots between our time spent on social media, the pandemic and 2 years of zoom. We will discuss Bitcoin, Crypto Punks, glorified JPGs and all the myths you have heard within the historical context of art as it reflects our lives.
