of time we're actually really behind so we're gonna go really quickly but one of the things that we don't want to cut short is giving recognition to the artists of East Denver come on up so before I give them the mic we're gonna well I'm gonna give them the mic really quickly but I just want to express my particular gratitude I've never been to an experience like this that felt so comfortable and just inviting and the creativity quite frankly mind-blowing 12-foot mega peg a buff a corn in the in the chain-link chill room I mean unbelievable so we're gonna give them we're gonna give them the microphone to talk a little bit about themselves how they contributed and please say hello to them at the after at the closing party which is going to be opening behind you as soon as we're done in fact we will be opening your ability to get a drink like right now and then the food will happen as soon as we're like 15 minutes later so get ready get set wait and please let us have some time for the artists thank you thank you my name is Maura Williams and this is me and my team back there on the video building a 12 foot tall mega peg above a corn and the cat and the DJ booth and the cat and the mega pick of buff corn are up for auction in a nice gallery here and if you like my art go - I hate that art check out more of it thank you guys hi I'm Annie Phillips of IRL art I put together the art gallery it was a really cool process we did an open calm promoted it through tons of channels got about 40 submissions we were able to accept 37 artists over 10 of them are from different countries and it was a really cool process we tokenized almost all of the work on blockchain so they're n F T's and so they're one of one we covered the printing cost so a lot of the pieces come you know as a digital asset but also with a print so that's super cool and let's see we did a VR version of the gallery and crypto voxels so it'll kind of be this interesting time stamp thing that exists that you can come and check out afterwards and it'll kind of live in the virtual reality and yeah every artists got to choose their own commission so zero to a hundred percent and that commission is all going to our charity partner room to read which is really cool and I just want to thank our project decentralized for partnering with my company IRL to do this project open C for sponsoring and helping me through the process of tokenizing and running the auction and my company IRL for helping build and support me through it and tribe 13 for doing the prints and gin for doing the crypto voxels gallery hello everybody my name is Jessica Angel I'm a visual artist I make installation are taking over large spaces buildings museums galleries generally high high walls so what I contributed to this year was all the color lines that you see around I've been here a whole week on my knees just making those lines with the help of everybody here it's it's incredible it's all people even in the back office laying lines with me so thanks everybody for that the purple I'm sorry the purple line takes you all the way to the sixth floor that is the makerspace and that's actually how I started with the EFM ver 2018 we did a makerspace we did it again in 2019 and this year 2020 the makerspace basically took over the whole building so we have some craft local beer up in the makerspace right now so follow the purple line I also curated with Annie and Eve member team several things so a lot of art happening in the hackathon makerspace upstairs gallery and out the Denver Tower the clock tower was mapped yesterday and the day before with video art that is tokenized by the crypto art community so it was really great to be wholesome with the whole city and bring the art not just to Denver to eat them verba to the city itself like make people aware of crypto art as well all across so thank you [Music] hi everybody i'm paige beckus i curated the whole Zen zone I was here last year
