Released Nov 5, 2021
The Nomads of the Mirage introduces humanoid characters and their artefacts as well as new lifeforms to the Mirage universe. Each piece is a new step in the evolutionary journey of the metaverse-native creatures found in previous Metageist drops.
The centre of the collection is the The Basilisk artefact, a 1/1 NFT with associated physical sculpture. Continuing the exploration of the threshold where digital meets physical the golden Basilisk artefact was entirely hand modelled in Virtual Reality then 3D printed, coated in conductive paint, electroplated in metal and finished off with an AR marker that powers the Basilisk Eye.
The Basilisk Eye is a video loop created by Mr K Steels using his own refined process of cymatic capture to reveal the sacred geometry of sound. The hypnotic geometric patterns seen in the video are an entirely natural occurrence carefully captured on the oscillating air-water membrane using only light and lenses. The symmetrical geometry is a direct visual representation of the Basilisk's Song. The core video NFT can be made available to the collector of The Basilisk. Follow @mrksteels on Twitter.
