April 24, 2024“H&N: Edition 6” is upon us. A look into one of Tezos’ most exciting projects and its upcoming grand finale!
“Here & Now” has redefined the virtual experience landscape over its previous five editions, blending art, technology, and interactivity in groundbreaking ways. As we approach the launch of its sixth and final edition next month, anticipation builds for what promises to be the most immersive installment yet, not just on Tezos, but around the whole web3 industry.
Scheduled to launch on May 11th, “Here & Now: Edition 6” offers attendees a unique virtual realm accessible through specially minted entry tokens, now available for participants on Tezos. This final edition is set to showcase a spectacular lineup of artists, through an immersive digital experience, where art can be viewed, interacted with, and even collected (if you are fast enough). But more on that later.
The “Here & Now” Journey
Launched by the talented Michael Beets, an award-winning director, “Here & Now” kicked off its epic run on Tezos in 2021 and has already rocked out five killer editions, each one upping the ante from the last. Looking back, “Here & Now” has stretched the limits of immersive art and virtual get-togethers with great side events like ANTIDOTE and CTRL+ALT+REVOLT.
It’s not just about art shows; it’s a whole vibe — fusing a buzzing community of artists and digital art collectors with virtual escape rooms, movie references, and all sorts of jaw-dropping experiences in a totally immersive and interactive metaverse.
