2023 came with some turmoil and a dire need to look above the art, the story, the gamification, the web3 concepts and to think about WHITE SPACE as a whole, as a fusion between our team and our believers. Give it a proper verbal definition.
You dear fam, should have already guessed I am not a single artist. White Space would best be described as a project. Something unusual for #tezos - the heaven of authentic art, collaborations and names of the artists always in front. The community curation that emerged in the tezos ecosystem made the space more welcoming for artists sharing their own work and more hostile for imitations of the eth bull market money grab rugs.
Knowing this, we still believe and want to walk through it and grind our success over the bad reputation of the word "Project". We are not your usual project that involves 3 months of hard work, quick SOLD OUT and a sweet vacation.
We are here for the long-term!
We shall seek the balance of collectability and art, meanwhile forming a community which contributes to the growth of the project, our story and the overall space. In a very cliché way of putting it: we grow together.
White Space is going to be a canvas for a clash of styles and different ways to tell a story. Story living in our imagination and developed with the help of several minds with different styles of art, all tied up with an unique gamification. With everything we do we are creating our own language.
At the moment WHITE SPACE AND WS ELMNTS is a combined effort of 3 individuals.
NELSON - Director and collector of vintage Japanese toys, who created the world, the characters and the main storyline of WHITE SPACE
SHIN UEDA - is the last Shigeru Komatsuzaki disciple, creating military, retro futuristic, and manga art for more than 50 years. Sensei Ueda transforms Nelson's scripts and characters into beautiful physical paintings that are the base for the so far minted mains series artworks.
BRUTA -We know Bruta is everything and for this project he is our web3 #tezos OG, navigating, supervising, improvising and gamifying our nft journey. He might or might not be responsible for some of the ELMNTS animations and generative explorations.
This collaborative project could only exist here within the tezos environment.
WS exists is to prove that the joint effort of different skillsets and ideals can become an authentic artwork or a project or whatever you want to call it. It can bring joy to the people and allow them to become a part of the idea, together. Taking down the walls and creating together with people at the same Vibe is what fuels WS. It is our style of working and and ethic. All of this happened is through amazing luck and sheer belief. In plain words WS is created to prove the possibility of this type of mutual effort and feeling the satisfaction of creating something, that people embrace.
