Celebrating a Union: VESA’s Artwork at Cypher Capital Hub
VESA recently traveled to Dubai for a month of meetings, partnerships, and conferences at the Cypher Capital Hub. The hub, known for its sleek and functional space, now features artworks by VESA alongside two famous Banksy pieces. Let’s explore the stories behind VESA’s artworks showcased at the hub.
Integration: A Dichotomy of Worldviews
The first piece you’ll notice is Integration, which represents the contrasting worldviews in society regarding power dynamics between men and women. While women hold positions of power, some advocate for dismantling hierarchical structures in capitalism and science. Integration was exhibited at Art Dubai 2022.
Million Dirham Hotel: Exploring Value and Identity
The Million Dirham Hotel is part of the Mirrors-series and explores value, experiences, and identity. It challenges the ownership vs. access paradigm by depicting a high-priced hotel. You can experience the augmented reality (AR) version of this artwork using the Artivive app.
Truth or Dare- The Currency of Ganesha: Blending Tradition and Crypto
Next to the Million Dirham Hotel is Truth or Dare- The Currency of Ganesh. This artwork combines Hindu tradition with cryptocurrency symbols and blockchain code. Lord Ganesh, a revered deity in Hinduism, is depicted alongside traditional wealth displays and modern technology.
Red Eye: Falling into the Crypto Rabbit Hole
Red Eye portrays the overwhelming experience of diving into the world of crypto. This artwork was featured in Forbes’ first article on art and money in January 2019. It can be experienced in augmented reality through the Artivive app.
Compound Defiance: Embracing Decentralization
Compound Defiance represents the decentralized financial system and its ability to define its own rules. The chaotic pattern eventually reveals a beautiful and holistic design. This artwork holds historical significance in the crypto art world as it was used on a street legal NFT VESA Art Car in Dubai.
Refresh: Honoring the UAE
Refresh, located in the VIP room, pays tribute to the UAE’s forward-thinking nature and technological advancements. It features Mars, symbolizing the Emirati space program, and a tokenized royal horse. The artwork includes Dr. Marwan Al Zarouni and his wife immersed in the Bitcoin genesis code, representing their country’s evolution. Refresh comes alive with the Artivive app.
