An abundance of innovation and collaboration is what we are predicting. The TZ APAC team will be complementing the high-level conversations and brainstorming sessions at the TOKEN2049 main conferences with the following activities:

The Tezos Lounge located at Marina Bay Sands will provide the Web3 community with a conducive, closed-door space to network, collaborate and brew the next game-changing partnership. Visitors to the Tezos Lounge can look forward to treats such as exclusive Tezos t-shirts designed by popular Indonesian Artist Arya Mularama and Formula 1 merchandise.

Artists, developers and friends of the Tezos ecosystem across Asia flying in for Asia Crypto Week will be hosted at a scrumptious lunch at Thirty Six Brewlab and Smokehouse.

The Champ Medici Sushi Pop Up hosted by Gushcloud and Tezos will gather some of the region’s top Web3 leaders, investors and tastemakers. Guests can look forward to rubbing shoulders with renowned crypto entrepreneur and influencer Champ Medici. In addition to being a serious NFT collector, he’s fully immersed himself in the Web3 world - having consulted for high-profile projects such as Moonpay, The Sandbox, and Snoop Dogg’s Web3 ventures. The event is also organized in conjunction with RAPPU Handroll Bar, one of Singapore’s trendiest sushi hand roll restaurants.

The TZ APAC team and its guests will also be participating in the Champ Medici VIP Networking Party at the Mandala club. The party will feature The Last Generation Immersive Experience as well as Champ Medici and Snoop Dogg’s NFT Gallery.

Dataverse x Tezos Panel Discussion - At the Cultural Frontier: Art on the Blockchain (27 September, 3.55- 4.35pm)

Part of the larger FIL-Singapore Summit, The Digital Identity & Art Renaissance Forum on 27 September will feature a number of talks, including a segment hosted by Tezos artists.

Described as the Web3 Pinterest with a strong focus on data sovereignty, Dataverse allows you to access and curate all your favorite NFTs in one place. This allows for cross-chain integration across 6 different major blockchains - Tezos of course being one of them. Dataverse has invited artists in the Tezos ecosystem to host a panel discussion titled “At the Cultural Frontier: Art on the Blockchain”.

Moderator Clara Peh is a curator in both the non-digital and NFT art spaces, and is founder of artist-led nonprofit community NFT Asia. She will be joined by digital art aficionado warrragwag, as well as the stellar generative artist Random Combo.

They’ll be talking about the inspiration behind their work, their methodology, and experiences with the Tezos blockchain and community. With Clara’s deep insight, warrragwag’s bold work with abstract art and architectural visualization, as well as Random Combo’s expertise with generative systems, participants can look forward to an action-packed panel discussion!

Crypto Art Week Asia

For one spectacular week, artists from all over the continent will come together to exhibit their work, share their process, and connect with others in the field. This is a rare opportunity to see some of the most innovative and exciting work being created in the emerging field of Crypto Art, so join us in supporting the artists involved.

Here are the activities we will be putting together:

There’s something special about generative art. The artist’s role is more like that of a conductor, orchestrating different codes to create the final work. In this lecture, the founder of CAWA, experimental new media and generative artist radarboy3000 shares valuable insights and insider tips on how he makes his pieces come alive with such clarity. There will also be a Q&A session, where artists and fans may learn more about his process and views on NFT art.

Provenance has always been a critical part in the world of non-digital art. But what does that look like in the world of digital art and NFTs?

Ruanth Chrisley Thyssen is a 1x Oscar Nominated, 2x BAFTA Nominated Sound Designer, and has long been involved in the world of NFTs. This promises to be a fascinating talk exploring the cutting edge of digital art preservation.

The Tezos ecosystem continuously seeks to educate, enable and empower artists. At the Creative Coder meet-up, creatives, coders, and creative coders will get together to connect, and share their knowledge, skills, and experience in order to create amazing forms of art. Newer code artists can also get more deeply involved within the community, and learn more from what seasoned coders have to share.

F1 Grand Prix

TOKEN2049-2

After two years, The Formula 1 Singapore GP is back. There is clearly no better way to Asia Crypto Week than with one of the most thrilling races in the calendar. Friends of the Tezos ecosystem will be hosted at the Formula One paddock Club, for the McLaren Formula 1 Experience. They’ll be in the thick of the action during this race weekend, enjoying exclusive tours of the garage, exquisite cuisine and unique insights into race strategy.

In anticipation of the Grand Prix, the Tezos ecosystem across Asia will be hosting social media campaigns to reward followers with exclusive McLaren Racing Merchandise.
