'Calm Within Chaos' Featured in Art for Life Virtual Exhibition
Earlier this year, my artwork Calm Within Chaos was honored with inclusion in the Art for Life Virtual Exhibition, which ran from May 29th to July 29th, 2024. The exhibition, part of the 5th TON Helsinki Meetup, showcased 80 curated works from 181 global submissions, featuring artists from 27 countries.
Held in Siderall’s 3D Gallery on the Spatial platform, this virtual event offered visitors an immersive experience, where they could explore artworks through VR headsets at the Helsinki XR Center. Each piece, including Calm Within Chaos, was transformed into an NFT, minted on the TON blockchain, ensuring authenticity and digital ownership. As part of the event’s commitment to social impact, 50% of each NFT sale supported humanitarian efforts in conflict zones.
This exhibition was more than an artistic display—it was a demonstration of how technology can transform the way we experience and contribute to global art and charitable causes. Through the TON blockchain and the work of technologists, artists, and activists, this event highlighted the potential of NFTs as tools for fundraising and humanitarian impact.
Now that the exhibition has concluded, I am thrilled to share the materials and moments from this extraordinary experience with you. From the artwork’s transformation into digital form to the international collaboration it fostered, Calm Within Chaos took part in a truly global event that bridged art and technology.
