The NFT pavillion Chrysalis is an international exhibition of both visual and sound artists /composers whose work explores the many facets of man’s interrelationship with technology and nature. The artists explore issues of identity, ecology, spirituality, embodied cognition and technical transformation. Their artistic pratices are quite varied ranging from sculpture, to XR and Digital Art. The exhibition includes Carla Gannis (Brooklyn), Tamiko Thiel (Munich), Matteo Zamagni (London), Hsin-Chien Huang (Taipei), Sophie Kahn (Australia/Brooklyn), Portrait XO (Los Angeles) and Matthew D. Gantt ( New York). The exhibition will be exhibited in various formats including large scale projections, monitors, AR, and VR.

Chrysalis itself refers to the third stage in a butterfly’s life cycle. The caterpillar creates the chrysalis around him prior to his final stage in his life cycle when he emerges finally as a butterfly.. With technology being our symbolic chrysalis, how do we balance or integrate our historical, socio-cultural and psychological ideas with our dependence on technology? How does technology shape our identity? The artist’s in this exhibition explore the boundaries that we create between nature and technology, our bodies and our world view.
