Web3 Brings Art and Beauty Lovers Together
The world’s leading luxury skincare company La Prairie’s inaugural NFT art collection, created in cooperation with world-renowned digital artist Carla Chan, is significant for more than the creative and inspirational art it symbolizes.
Carla Chan’s “Space Beyond” consists of 365 + 1 editions of one-of-a-kind, ever-changing artworks created in real time using meteorological and demographic data. Each piece of art reflects a day in the year in one of the world’s 31 most populous cities.
The artwork will be unveiled on May 18 at FRIEZE New York, with sales going to the global protection of glaciers.
The drop will be available starting at 11 a.m. EDT on May 18 at www.nft.carlachan.com.
Carla Chan and La Prairie are being supported by Smart Token Labs to bring the NFT drop to life for an art purchasing audience that isn’t necessarily crypto savvy.
“Our TokenScript technology was utilized to make it simple for individuals to buy the NFT without having a digital wallet, and then use the NFT to unlock unique La Prairie brand experiences,” stated Smart Token Labs CEO Victor Zhang.
‘The payment flow includes the option to buy the NFT with a credit card and get a magic link attestation as a cryptographic proof of ownership of the NFT.’ This magical connection may then be utilized to mint NFT through a digital wallet at a later date.
The TokenScript Brand Connector, which links the NFT to a specific La Prairie brand website, will enable exclusive experiences and bespoke software (the art) for NFT holders.
Carla Chan said : “We are delighted that holders of Space Beyond NFTs will be able to seamlessly interact with the La Prairie brand at locations around the world via experiences such as events, product reveals and in-store viewings. We feel blessed to have the team from Smart Token Labs supporting us with world class technology to help bring art buyers from around the world into this first NFT collection. We couldn’t be happier with how inclusive or exciting the project is. I am now super looking forward to launching my collection during Frieze New York & Art Basel Hong Kong, as it will definitely bring/attract traditional collectors into web3 without any hassle”
