NFT
Crypto company OKX appears to be going all in on artificial intelligence (AI) and non-fungible tokens (NFT) at the upcoming Tribeca Festival. Between June 7 and June 14, Spring Studios NYC will host OKX’s NFT lab. In space, festival-goers can test by hitting their various, AI-generated content (AIGC) NFTs.
Strategically located on the ground floor, OKX’s NFT Lab will enable attendees to customize NFTs by entering text prompts into the OKX mobile app. Custom NFT generation is all possible using AIGC technology, which uses machine learning to generate unique digital art.
What is the result of this endeavor? Each masterpiece is minted as a non-fungible token on the blockchain and can be easily transferred to any wallet or listed on the OKX NFT Marketplace. To put it in perspective, the newly minted NFTs are displayed in real time on square screens in the lab.
Merchandise and social media
Not only will this content showcase the creative side of Web3, OKX will also install vending machines in the OKX Theater at BMCC TPAC. Notably, the machines accept cryptocurrency payments for snacks and beverages through the OKX wallet.
If you’ve ever wanted to see an OKX-branded concession stand, you’re definitely in luck if you choose this project. It comes with a wide variety of items ranging from popcorn to OKX merchandise. There is a promotion on the cards. Set up an OKX wallet or click and tag a clear photo of the concession stand, and you’ll be treated to free popcorn and OKX sunglasses.
Commenting on the Tribeca Festival, OKX Chief Marketing Officer Haider Rafique said:
“We are proud to bring OKX’s NFT Lab to life at the Tribeca Festival, demonstrating the potential of Web3 and AI technology in transforming the art world as we know it.”
The sentiment is echoed by OKX’s head of US Web3, Nate Zou, who is very excited about demonstrating the capabilities of the OKX Wallet and Web3 technology.
Tribeca Festival meets Web3: an ideal crossroads
Based on a statement from co-founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal, the Tribeca Festival appears to be taking the necessary steps to incorporate Web3 into everything the company does, aided by its partnership with OKX. This alliance strives to bring fans, creators and talent new opportunities associated with the emerging industries of Web3, crypto and the Metaverse.
As the ultimate addition to Web3, OKX will launch the first Tribeca Festival NFT pass in 2023. This pass will allow fans an up-close look at the festival, including access to an exclusive awards show that will be graced by Robert De Niro. It is believed to be a matter of watching this space for more Web3 innovations from OKX and the Tribeca Festival.
