Summary
TLDR: Musée d’Orsay’s first-ever tokenized artwork collection, “The Convergence of Breath,” created by artists Sébastian Devaud and Johan Lescure, consists of five NFTs generated by museum visitors breathing into their phones. The NFTs will be available for sale on Objkt.One, with the exhibition running until March 10.
Key Points
1. A collection of tokenized artwork from the Musée d’Orsay’s first-ever commission of an on-chain exhibition will be available for sale on Thursday, featuring five single-edition NFTs collectively titled “The Convergence of Breath.”
2. The artwork is the result of an art installation at Musée d’Orsay called “Sigma Lumina,” created by French artist and DJ Sébastian Devaud (Agoria) in collaboration with artist Johan Lescure. The installation generates a QR code when hit by light from above, leading museum patrons to mint unique NFTs by breathing into their phones.
3. Over 2,000 “Sigma Lumina” NFTs have already been minted by museum visitors, and the data from these blows has been used to create a series of five unique NFTs for sale. The “Convergence of Breath” NFTs will be available on Objkt.One starting at 5pm CET on Thursday, coinciding with the ongoing “Le Code d’Orsay” exhibition at the museum.
