JN052MYRRH

by Annelies Nuy · Amsterdam, NL

This work is part of an art wall presented in an ancient seminary in Italy and is now available as a print. The exhibition is a multi-layered experience, transitioning from decorative art on the wall to innovative contemplations about the future. Within the six art walls, there is a deliberate contrast between three traditional Christian values and their interaction with the monastery, and three emerging values in the Metaverse, a virtual 3D environment. The artworks representing the old values exude sobriety, abstraction, and meditation. Annelies has chosen to depict three biblical classics: myrrh, gold, and incense. In contrast, the new values are portrayed abstractly, in fragments, and left deliberately unfinished, creating a sense of potential yet to be realized. Each art wall comes with its own story inspired by the future: "motion sickness," "gasfees," and "minten." You can still experience these works in an immersive space by visiting this website: link.
