In the vibrant city of Dubai, renowned digital artist VESA marked an indelible imprint as a plethora of his mesmerizing artworks found a new home within Cypher Capital Hub. October witnessed a significant moment as the Hub, recognized for its investment prowess in the burgeoning Web3 infrastructure, adorned its walls with a curated selection of VESA’s creations.
The very fabric of Cypher Capital Hub embraces the essence of art and technological evolution, boasting a modernistic environment within Dubai’s Marina—an ideal locale for professionals to converge, collaborate, and foster networks. Notably, the main conference room, previously graced by two pieces from the legendary Banksy, now also features a captivating work by VESA.
This partnership isn’t merely about display; it’s about the rich narratives each piece carries and the introspection they demand. Take, for instance, ‘Integration’, which greets visitors with its profound exploration of societal norms, contrasting the strides women have made in securing authoritative roles against the critique of hierarchical structures.
Displayed in the Hub’s sleek meeting room lies the ‘Million Dirham Hotel’, a segment of the Mirrors series, invoking thoughts around the dichotomy of ownership and access and prompting viewers to ponder the very nature of value and identity. Meanwhile, ‘Truth or Dare- the Currency of Ganesha’, or simply ‘Ganesh’, aligns the spiritual deity with modern-day cryptocurrency elements, presenting a fusion that intersects thousands of years of tradition with contemporary digital wealth.
‘Ganesh’ stands out as a testament to VESA’s intricate craftsmanship, a piece brought to life through more than 2000 layers blending art and technology. In contrast, ‘Red Eye’ captures the consuming vortex of the crypto world, reflecting the sleeplessness that often accompanies the relentless pursuit of knowledge within this domain. Its vibrancy previously captivated audiences at Art In Space, and now it captivates viewers with augmented reality through the Artivive app.
Along the path to the VIP room, the eye is drawn to ‘Compound Defiance’, embodying the essence of decentralized finance’s chaotic yet ordered existence. This work holds the honor of being part of a street legal NFT VESA Art Car in Dubai and also boasts a VR version.
Ensconced in the VIP room, ‘Refresh’ pays homage to the UAE with its subtle nods to the nation’s trailblazing space endeavors and its dynamic leadership, represented by Dr. Marwan Al Zarouni and Mariam Al Zarouni amid the Bitcoin genesis code.
These visual narratives are more than static images. With the Artivive app, they leap into an augmented reality, infusing sound and motion to create a multi-sensory experience that matches the forward-thinking spirit of their host city.
Together, VESA and Cypher Capital celebrate a collaboration that goes beyond aesthetics, inviting visitors to not only view but also engage with the artworks capaciously displayed at this nexus of digital economic innovation in Dubai.
