The Passage of Ra

The Passage of Ra

About
the Drop

In Egyptian mythology, Ra traveled every evening at sunset on a solar barge through the underworld in order to rise again each morning.

Inspired by this concept, The Passage of Ra is a new NFT installation by A.A. Murakami that juxtaposes the ephemeral nature of a fleeting moment with the immutable permanence of the blockchain.

This installation made its debut at NFT Paris in February 2023, and is the first in a series of immersive NFTs that bring to life what A.A. Murakami has termed the ‘Mataverse.' Distinct from a Metaverse, which is a virtual world, a Mataverse is a multi-sensory physical environment that also exists on the blockchain.

This a multi-stage drop with several different opportunities to collect, including utilities for holding or redeeming multiple tokens.


The Passage of Ra

The Passage of Ra only existed as a Mataverse installation at NFT Paris for days, but it has been forever captured in a 12-minute generative art video, which is being sold in 1-minute segments.

Holders of more than 1 consecutive segment will have the opportunity to burn their tokens to receive a new NFT combining the sections into a multi-minute composition. Collectors must redeem their consecutive segments for a new NFT by Tuesday, March 28 at 11:59pm PST. Airdrops of the new NFTs to their owners will be completed within two weeks after the burn deadline. See burn/redeem instructions.


The Eye of Ra Vol. II

Owners that held 5 or more of The Eye of Ra Vol. I OE had the option to burn a portion of them to redeem this Limited Edition NFT.

The burn/redeem period began Monday, March 13 and ran through Wednesday, March 15.

The last 6 editions of this LE are available for purchase.


The Eye of Ra Vol. I

Primary sales of A.A. Murakami's first open edition NFT ended on Sunday, February 26.

Owners of this open edition were entered for a chance to win an NFT from The Passage of Ra, valued at $10,000. We're happy to announce that Arthur Reimchen is the winner of the raffle! Congratulations Arthur!

A fleeting snapshot, captured as an NFT, forever transformed...

The installation at NFT Paris was made possible by utilizing proprietary technology developed by the artist, which simultaneously fired physical fog rings and their digital twins toward a digital generative seascape displayed on screens. As the physical rings hit the screens, they dissolved, and their digital twins appeared - rippling the surface of the water in the generative scene before sailing off into the infinite horizon. Much like a camera uses light through a lens to capture a decisive moment, generative code captured the physical phenomenon of the swirling vortex of fog rings.

As a multi-sensory physical environment that also exists on the blockchain, The Passage of Ra breaks new ground in our long-standing relationships with technology and the natural world. Just as the ancient Egyptians used the latest technology of their time to pay homage to the sun, in this work the technology of our time is similarly harnessed to celebrate the natural systems on which our existence and future relies.

About

A.A. Murakami is a London/Tokyo based Artist duo. 

Their unique sensory installations are an ongoing series of works, which follows the tradition of artists emulating nature. In the same way ancient civilisations made structures to chart the passage of the sun or early cave paintings to depict the natural world, A.A. Murakami pursues an innate human desire to use art to connect with and revere the natural systems on which our existence depends. 

They pioneer in ‘Ephemeral Tech’ which explores this intrinsic driver of creation using technology to evoke both primordial origins and future worlds. The artists’ work is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Centre Pompidou, Paris and M+, Hong Kong, and they are represented by Pace Gallery

Founder of the Web3 project Floating World Genesis.
