Among the most powerful and exciting benefits of Web3: the emergence of new artistic technologies as means to express ourselves. Take SENAIDA, for example. She identifies as an experimental sound architect and artist, moving forward the boundaries of audio-based experiences.
Their Voice x Women Rise NFT Residency collection, THE NOTHING IN BETWEEN, offers a mind-bending entry into Brooklyn-based SENAIDA’s world–which is clearly a magical, beautiful place.
Before you immerse yourself, we recommend taking a step back to learn about the project’s origin, which will surely hook you.
It all starts with Buddhist philosophy, and the concept of the “inconceivable beyond,” according to SENAIDA. “When we refer to objects, we’re also implying “the lack of” something else. For example, light is the absence or lack of darkness; And darkness is the absence of light. Therefore, what is the absence of both light and darkness? The point of this question is to allude to something beyond our empirical knowledge.”
The collection comes to list in 3 parts–neither a traditional music album or single, but rather what SENAIDA calls a digital triptych. This is where it gets even more interesting: the work is co-written by AI.
“As an artist, I am particularly interested in what role music Al plays in our lives in the future. Particularly, how new and emerging technologies will provide new forms of creativity and accessibility for everyone.”
Collectors will also get to experience another benefit of the Web3 world: ownership with tangible benefits. The sonic experience that inspired this collection is available to listen to for free on Audius and all streaming platforms, bringing an element of inclusivity. But for those who collect, the perks are clear: each NFT will include a customized Dolby Atmos 44.8Hz master of the full sonic experience, 0.3% of royalties collected from streaming of songs over a 15-year period and 2 VIP tickets to SENAIDA’s first metaverse experience.
For SENAIDA, this is just the beginning. Up next: whole immersive experiences educating, amplifying and inspiring the voices of her generation and the next.
