STORY BEHIND
The Vision of AKN
In the absence of vision, artistic expression faces significant limitations. Throughout history, artists have leveraged the potency of sight to convey profound messages, captivating audiences on both visual and emotional fronts.
Within the realm of art, eyes serve not only as conduits of literal vision but also as symbols of metaphorical perception—a means to apprehend the world, gain insights, and cultivate a deeper understanding of oneself and others.
AKNEYE offers a glimpse into the artist’s world, providing a platform for emerging and established talents in art, design, and sculpture to share their personal narratives through unique artistic creations.
Presented with a "raw canvas" sculpted in the form of an eye by AKNEYE, artists are invited to manifest an extension of themselves, beckoning their audience on an intimate journey to explore themes such as identity, self-discovery, growth, conflict and others. The eye sculpture, as a singular entity, acts as a gateway into the profound depths of the artistic imagination.
Now envisage a realm where traditional sculpture converges with the exciting frontier of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), forging an unparalleled experience. AKNEYE aims to blend the convergence of innovation and tradition by fostering creativity across both digital and physical realms of artistry.
Upon creation, each eye sculpture is transformed into an NFT and showcased within AKNEYE's digital gallery in the Fastexverse—an immersive virtual universe where art transcends conventional boundaries. This robust structure facilitates dynamic interactions between the artwork and its audience, enabling manipulation of light, sound, and movement to weave an even more captivating narrative.
The aim is to embrace a whole new universe of digital
art while honouring its traditional idioms.
Additionally, each sculpture incorporates a glass bottle in lieu of a tear duct, serving as an “ampulla” capable of containing any liquid, including “DOOR” Armenian Brandy. This unique feature not only enhances the intrigue of the artwork but also serves as a functional element to your interior.
