Making of the Monolith An ape found a monolith once. Things got interesting after that. 🗿 This one travels and is now live at Nervape CAMP Lugano. Handmade by designer Bradley over the course of three months. 150 LED blocks that light up when activated by a Nervape figure’s embedded NFC chip. See it firsthand. Villa Ciani, Room 215 · Today and Tomorrow until 18:30 → nervape.com/pages/camp #art #artdisplay #NervapeCAMP #Monolith #PlanBForum

The Monolith is on. 🗿 Put a Nervape on a cloud. The chip inside sets a pattern. Conway's Game of Life does the rest, with a few simple rules. A creation outside the hands of the creator. Sound familiar? Villa Ciani, Room 215 · until 18:30, and tomorrow. → nervape.com/pages/monolith #PlanBForum #Monolith #Bitcoin #BitcoinArt
