NFT Sky Bar > Metartverse ⋆ Diseñador freelance David Zuker

nhow es una cadena de hoteles internacional perteneciente a NH Hotel Group basada en un concepto disruptivo en el que cada hotel es en sí mismo una obra de Arte única, con una arquitectura e interiorismo cuidados al máximo detalle unidas a un diseño innovador basado en murales de grandes dimensiones que dotan a sus espacios de un ambiente en el que la creatividad y la inspiración fluyen en cada muro.

nhow Frankfurt es un hotel de 4 estrellas que celebra los vínculos históricos de la ciudad con la industria financiera. Aquí, el arte del dinero se vive y se experimenta en todo momento. Cuenta con toques extravagantes, mobiliario de diseño inovador y un Insider Lounge exclusivo para VIPs.

El NFT Sky Bar es el bar de cocktails y restaurante más alto de la ciudad de Frankfurt. Situado en la planta nº 47 del hotel, las impresionantes vistas de la ciudad compiten con un moderno y estilizado interiorismo que tiene como elemento central un gran mural (diseñado por mí) dedicado a las criptomonedas.

NH Hotel Group me invitó a crear la primera colección de NFTs de su historia, un proyecto piloto contextualizado en su NFT Sky Bar que ha tenido un gran éxito.

LA COLECCIÓN COMPLETA DE 30 NFTs SE VENDIÓ EN TAN SOLO 90 MINUTOS. UN NFT VENDIDO CADA 3 MINUTOS.

NH Hotels me propuso crear una serie de 3 NFTs inspirada en cada uno de los 10 cocktails de la carta del NFT Sky Bar. A partir de esta idea, elaboré el concepto “Metartverso”:

“Este proyecto se llama “Metartverso”, no Metaverso, porque el concepto que hay detrás no es el metaverso tal y como lo conocemos, o como los medios de comunicación suelen intentar hacernos percibir. He pirateado la palabra Metaverso y la he convertido en un Metartverso, un Metaverso centrado en el arte.
Este proyecto de NFT introduce este nuevo concepto de un metaverso colmado de arte con el objetivo de humanizar y embellecer el espacio virtual, para crear un metaverso orgánico que sea diverso, colorido, original y genuino.
Para experimentar esta propuesta de mundo virtual lleno de arte sólo tienes que quitarte tus ideas previas sobre el metaverso y estar abierto a descubrir nuevas concepciones del mismo. He creado 10 espacios únicos que no tienen correlación entre sí en términos de estilo, color y técnica, pero que juntos construyen un metaverso ecléctico de arte animado. Un metaverso orgánico que tiene vida y personalidad propias, frente a las experiencias corporativas.”

*La colección fué vendida el lunes 28 de noviembre a través de la exclusiva plataforma Enefty, la cual colaboró con NH Hotel Group en este proyecto como partner tecnológico.

A limoncello bath in the dark

In some corner of the metaverse, in some corner of the night, in some corner of solitude… hundreds of lemons caress a silhouette that swims in silence between ice and steam of electric clouds. Citrus elixirs gushing like geysers among crystal sea currents dot the silicon walls that envelop the cave in dreams of the future.

She moves through the lemon tides as a fish moves through the universe: floating through time, amidst an aura of quantum dreams and flashes that break through the darkness.

Banksy

After 15 years trapped in a wall in Utah, Banksy’s rat has discovered a space-time hole that leads him to the metaverse. Now he can break out of the two dimensions in which he was locked and explore a three-dimensional world full of fun and dreams. Neon hula-hoops that glow amidst clouds of dark particles, quantum gum balls with which you can feel several flavours at the same time…

**This work is a small homage to my admired artist (or artists, who knows) Banksy.*

The shining of a dream in the metaverse

Jack sat at the empty metaverse bar and ordered a Whiskey Sour from Lloyd, his virtual bartender. At the first sip, sensations overcame his senses: an aura of colours surrounded him, a surreal holographic light took over the place, and his mind was invaded by multiple ideas and simultaneous daydreams.

The night, with its thousand promises, had taken Jack on a journey of initiation. Experiences await around the corner of this night of  surrealist magic.

Metaverse tomato soup

Andy puts on his virtual reality goggles to enter the metaverse. His first vision is that of being transformed into an avatar half submerged in a lake of Campbell’s tomato soup.

All around him is a brightly coloured dream world, full of vitality and fantasy. He says to himself: the metaverse has turned the whole world into a gigantic work of pop art, and I have been able to return to this world for a few moments to contemplate it.

Rock with the queen

The queen of hearts, with her voice and her charisma, illuminates every corner of the metaverse singing to the rhythm of rock. This queen doesn’t want to rule you, she doesn’t want to give you orders or guide your destiny, she just wants you to break free.

From her bed of coloured crystals, she fills the souls of the avatars that inhabit this multiverse of holographic fantasy with rhythm.

The white rabbit has arrived on time, the caterpillar has smoked his pipe, everything is ready for the recital to begin: it’s time to rock.

Diving into the dephts of Iced Tea

After hundreds of years trapped between the corners of a canvas, The Mona Lisa has escaped from her two-dimensional prison and plunged into the metaverse, where she has transformed into a being full of life, thirsty for experience and sensations.

In the depths of the ice tea lakes, she dives through ice and time in her sequined suit that shimmers like distant stars on a dark night.

Frankfurt Fizz

Everybody travels to Frankfurt tonight. The place in the metaverse where experiences are unleashed, emotions escape from their cage and the senses are delighted with infinite moonlit proposals. Its skyline anticipates the ebullience of its streets, squares and corners.

Frankfurt is a place where time stands still, dreams take over reality and the light of its nights illuminates lost souls.

German mule taking the wave

Surfing among the flavours, among the waves of a thousand colours. Crossing the walls of bubbles, diving into the depths of a universe of passions and liquor.

The German mule, on her surfboard, sails the seas of imagination. A metaverse whose limits are the circular edges of a cocktail glass and whose bottom reaches the abysses of dreams and desires.

Each sip from a cocktail glass is a new sensation that, like a wave rolling over the sea, travels through our senses. It’s up to you to surf the wave, to pursue your dreams, to fulfill your desires.

Better to drink standing than to drink on your knees

In the old Cuba of the metaverse we have built a large figure of Che Guevara and, like a Golem, we have brought him to life so that he can taste the cocktail that has been created in honour of the island he loved so much. As he tasted the first sips his eyes widened and exhaled excitement.

The revolutionary blend of flavours reminded him of the sunsets of a time when dreams seemed within reach. Then he said to himself: Perhaps the metaverse is the place to create the new revolution, the opportunity to build a new, fairer world.

Birth of Venus on the Metaverse

On a bed of asparagus, a cocktail glass appears, and from its  entrails, a Venus conceived for the metaverse is born.

As human as she is virtual, as full of life as she is of bits, she can be seen split in two: the celestial Venus, made of energy and pixels, and the earthly Venus, who materialises in a beautiful being of flesh and temptation.

Her silken mane, coloured with fire, envelops two irises in which the flowing tears of her impossible love are reflected. Memories of a love that are lost between zeros and ones, as tears are lost in the rain.
