Matter is Void, the first NFT by the interdisciplinary art collective teamLab, presented by Pace Verso the web3 hub of Pace Gallery

Titled Matter is Void, teamLab’s new NFT examines notions of ownership and authorship through an inventive new format that allows collectors to change the content of the work.

Matter is Void makes its debut in a public art display in New York and as part of Pace’s presentation at Paris+ par Art Basel in October.

The project, released on Pace Verso’s platform on October 20, 2022 at 17:00 EST, comprises seven unique NFTs bearing the words “Matter is Void,” a reference to the Japanese-Buddhist expression Shikisoku Zekuu, which meditates on the meanings of emptiness. To explore ideas of authorship and ownership, teamLab has adopted a radical format for Matter is Void that enables the NFT purchasers to change the words displayed in the work via a website that teamLab has created. Once the NFTs’ content has been altered by their purchasers, the artworks will never again display their original “Matter is Void” state.

While only seven Matter is Void NFTs will be available for purchase, ownership of the artwork is not exclusive to NFT purchasers. The artwork will be available for individuals around the world to download, own, and display at any time. All those downloaded works will reflect purchasing collectors’ real-time modifications to the words displayed in the NFTs. While the NFT provides collectors with the right to change the text, all works downloaded by NFT purchasers as well as individuals who do not own the NFTs are equally authentic.

Coinciding with the launch of the online platform for downloading the artworks, one of the NFTs will have its initial “Matter is Void” text modified into a new phrase as part of a major activation across large-scale screens in New York. This public presentation is realized in partnership with Artsy, the leading global online art marketplace, and is sponsored by OUTFRONT Media.

Pace Verso Presents First-Ever NFT Project by Interdisciplinary Art Collective teamLab

By crossing the borders of art, science, and technology, teamLab questions the tension arising between the self and the world. This Fall, their first NFT project will be launched on a new web3 hub, Pace Verso, run by the influential Pace Gallery. It will feature seven unique NFTs based on the phrase Matter is Void, which refers to the Japanese-Buddhist expression Shikisoku Zekuu indicative of the notion of emptiness.(Excerpt from the text)

Pace Recruits Top Gallery Stars, Including teamLab and Loie Hollowell, to Create NFTs for Its Web3 Arm

Prices for the works vary widely. The collective teamLab’s first ever NFT project, a series of seven unique NFTs bearing the phrase “Matter Is Void,” will be priced at $200,000 each. (In a twist that aims to “explore ideas of authorship and ownership,” according to Pace, the owners of the works will be able to change the text at will, but anyone can download and display the NFTs at any time.) The project will be included in the gallery’s presentation at Paris+, Art Basel’s new French fair.(Excerpt from the text)

teamLab

teamLab是自2001年起開始活動的藝術團隊。通過團隊創作來探索藝術、科學、技術和自然界交匯點的國際性跨域藝術團隊。由藝術家、程式設計師、工程師、CG動畫師、數學家和建築師等各個領域的專家組成。

teamLab想通過藝術，摸索人與世界的關係和新的認知。人類爲了更好地認知世界，習慣性地把世界分割，並將其視爲具有邊界的事物。我們探索認知的邊界，並試圖超越人類對世界、對時間連續性的邊界的認知。世間萬物都是奇跡般地存在於積年累月且沒有邊界的連續性上的。

teamLab在紐約、倫敦、巴黎、新加坡、矽谷、北京、墨爾本等世界各地舉辦了藝術展。teamLab所開設的大型常設美術館有位於東京台場的「teamLab Borderless」、位於東京豐洲的「teamLab Planets」、位於上海黃浦濱江的「teamLab 無界上海」、位於澳門的「澳門 teamLab 超自然空間」，位於北京的「teamLab無相藝術空間」等等。今後還將有更多的美術館落地在漢堡、烏得勒支、吉達等地。

teamLab的作品被世界各大藝術機構收藏，如墨爾本維多利亞國家美術館（墨爾本）、悉尼新南威爾士州美術館（悉尼）、阿德萊德南澳大利亞藝術畫廊（阿德萊德）、赫爾辛基阿莫斯·雷克斯美術館（赫爾辛基）、舊金山亞洲藝術博物館（舊金山）、洛杉磯現代美術館（洛杉磯）、伊斯坦堡Borusan當代藝術收藏館（伊斯坦堡）、紐約亞洲協會博物館（紐約）。
