AmPm Give In-Depth Explanation of NFT Appeal During 5th Anniversary Project

25.April.2022 | MUSIC

In 2017, the masked musical unit AmPm made its debut with the song Best Part of Us, and has continued to attract listeners from all over the world. In celebration of its 5th anniversary in 2022, the pair are planning tons of new projects. Each will be announced on the 16th of each month.

 

Along with releasing original music, AmPm has been working to create valuable assets in the Metaverse, starting with the sale of NFT. In a first for a Japanese artist, the pair began selling a limited trial of unreleased music in 2021. Recently, AmPm announced some new NFT digital art.

 

Based on the pair’s experience of music curators, the NFT project hopes to provide unique pieces for an affordable price, allowing as many people as possible to become familiar with the NFT space.

 

AmPm recently purchased ‘Jidori Girls,’ a project by JidoriDeployer, on OpenSea. They decided to purchase it not only because of its immediate appeal, but also because it fit with AmPm’s worldview.

 

After the announcement, there was an exchange on Twitter with the creator of Jidori Girls. Fans from around the world also chimed in with comments like “You are incredible,” “Awesome collab!,” and “Thanks for joining our community!”

  • teamLab to Display First NFT Work ‘Matter is Void’ at teamLab Planets TOKYO in November

    17.October.2022 | FASHION / SPOT

    Art collective teamLab will exhibit its first NFT work, Matter is Void - Water, at teamLab Planets TOKYO DMM in Toyosu, Tokyo starting November 1, 2022.

Outside of Japan, the work will be exhibited for the first time in Paris at Paris+ par Art Basel, the world's largest contemporary art fair, and on a giant billboard in Times Square in New York City. At teamLab Planets in Tokyo, the exhibit will be housed in an incredible immersive space.    The Matter is Void NFT project includes seven NFT works. One of these, titled Matter is Void - Water, will be on display at teamLab Planets.   “Although only one of the seven NFTs will be for sale, anyone can download and own the overall work itself, whether or not they own the NFT. In other words, the uniqueness of the work is not conferred by the NFT, and nothing can distinguish the downloaded work.  Regardless of whether a person owns the NFT or not, it is all still authentic.   teamLab’s work is titled Matter is Void. However, owners of the NFT can change this title, and this change will be reflected in all works downloaded and owned by people around the world. Even the text on exhibition at teamLab Planets will be rewritten!   The value of the work change depending on the text added by NFT owners. If the words are valuable, more people will want to own it–if the words are nonsense or without value, no one will want it on display. This will keep people from writing something offensive or useless. Everyone will want to write something that will make the value increase. It’s all decided by the owners!   Also, even if the NFT owner reverts back to "Matter is Void" after rewriting it in other words, the words "Matter is Void" will be written with different wording.   Once the NFT is altered, it will never go back to the way it was. That makes this a more novel and exciting experience!”
