Web3 studio and NFT platform Snowcrash collaborates with National Geographic for the genesis NFT collection, “GM: Daybreak Around the World”.

LOS ANGELES, CA, USA, Dec. 20, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Web3 studio and NFT platform Snowcrash is scheduled to launch National Geographic’s Genesis NFT Collection, “GM: Daybreak Around the World” on January 17, 2023. the collection , which brings together 16 National Geographic photographers and digital artists to record dawn around the world, honors National Geographic’s 135th anniversary and will include 1,888 NFTs referencing the year of its founding.

For well over a century, National Geographic has been at the forefront of photography and innovation. Today, it continues to grow and invest in its creative community, continually exploring bold new ways to tell stories, make art more accessible and reach new audiences. For this Genesis Collection, 16 photographers – some new to the web3 space, some prominent figures in the NFT community – will each release 118 editions of their sunrise image on the Polygon blockchain in a blind drop. The NFTs can be purchased with a debit or credit card, without having a crypto wallet.

“It’s every photographer’s dream to shoot for National Geographic and it’s exciting that through blockchain and NFTs I can now showcase my photography and artwork with Nat Geo. It’s a dream come true that will open doors for more artistic possibilities,” said artist Justin Aversano.

“Web3 and NFTs have expanded the connections of so many people around the world,” added artist Tara Workman. “From the world famous to those who had never shared their work publicly, we all exist in the same ecosystem for the love of art.”

From the shores of Byron Bay, Australia (Mia Forrest, “Flanksia, in motion”) and coastal Oregon (Tara Workman, “Rise & Shine”), to the peaks of Mount Everest (Renan Ozturk, “Everest Sunrise”) and Mt. Sinai (Justin Aversano, “A Good Morning at the top of Mt. Sinai”), and even the start of a new day in the metaverse (Aaron Huey, “Sunrise In The Void”), each artist returned with a unique story to tell. Some shared traditional documentary images and others explored the narrative possibilities that the medium and format provide.
