Thirteen famous artists went anonymous for an NFT art experiment

The group goes under the mystical name «The Pyramid» and even issued their own manifesto

TORONTO, April, 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — What if a potential buyer had an opportunity to buy art for art, sans the artist’s market value and hype around the name? A group of artists whose works are exhibited at The Louvre, Venice Biennale, Guggenheim, and other high-profile institutions decided to challenge their self-perpetuating pursuit of recognition and completely drop names, genders, status, and other social assets—to create a collection of anonymous 58 pieces of digital art, each coming with an NFT certificate of ownership and authenticity.

The group has hidden their identities behind the name «The Pyramid» and accompanied the drop with a declaration explaining the concept. Discovered by the artists in some kind of ancient opus called «The Book of Pyramid», a starting point for the collection is a pyramid of human needs. Every level of the pyramid correlates with specific ones—physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem and self-actualization. Every artist from the group chose «level» for exploring within this project and as a theme for creating their own digital work. Simultaneously trying to answer burning questions like how does those needs change in an alternate digital reality? Could art help us to understand ourselves and our demands in a digital world as well? Do we need art in the meta universe at all? And moreover, does an NFT hysteria mirror the human need for community, for ownership and its power, for social validation? To let the audience join this dialogue free from preconceptions and biases and talk directly with art through unconventional lenses, artists also decided to hide behind the anonymity veil.

For this project, talents work exclusively and are backed up by an international company NFTMASTERS that is well-known for helping world’s largest museums and artists launch their NFT-collections. Furthermore, 10% of the proceeds from the drop will be directed to GiveCrypto, a nonprofit that distributes cryptocurrency to people living in poverty.

«The Pyramid» NFT-collection will be available from April 28, 2022.

Purchase inquiries could be applied via the largest NFT marketplace, OpenSea.

Prices will range from 0.33 to 15 ETH.

‫شبكة تلفزيون الصين الدولية (CGTN): الصين تهدف إلى بناء جامعات عالمية المستوى بميزات صينية

بكين، 26 نيسان/أبريل، 2022 / PRNewswire / — تهدف الصين إلى بناء جامعات عالمية المستوى بميزات صينية.

خلال زيارة الرئيس الصيني شي جين بينغ لجامعة رينمين الصينية يوم الاثنين، قال إن الجامعات الصينية يجب أن تكون متجذرة بعمق في الثقافة الصينية وتجنب أن تستنسخ فقط المعايير والنماذج الأجنبية.

وأكد شي، وهو أيضا الأمين العام للجنة المركزية للحزب الشيوعي الصيني، على اتباع قيادة الحزب ونقل التقاليد الثورية في إدارة الجامعات.

وجاءت زيارته للجامعة في بكين قبل يوم الشباب في البلاد، الذي يصادف يوم 4 أيار/مايو.  ونيابة عن اللجنة المركزية للحزب الشيوعي الصيني، قدم شي تحياته الاحتفالية للشباب من جميع المجموعات العرقية على مستوى البلاد.

ودعا شي إلى المزيد من الدورات الإيديولوجية السياسية لتعزيز   أخلاقيات الطلاب.

ذهب شي إلى فصل دراسي ذكي لدورات أيديولوجية سياسية، حيث جلس مع الطلاب، واستمع إليهم باهتمام وانضم إلى مناقشاتهم.

وشدد شي على أن الطبقات الأيديولوجية السياسية يجب أن تلعب دورها الواجب في تعزيز الأخلاق، ودعا إلى تكييف مثل هذا التعليم مع احتياجات الشباب في مراحل التنمية المختلفة.

وأعرب شي عن أمله في أن يتمكن جميع الشباب في البلاد من وضع تعليمات الحزب في الاعتبار، والسعي من أجل تجديد الشباب الوطني، والعمل الجاد لتحقيق أفضل النتائج الممكنة.

كما دعا شي إلى تعزيز بناء أساتذة الجامعات.

يطلب شي من طلاب الجامعات بذل قصارى جهدها في الحياة

عندما تحدث إلى الطلاب، طلب شي منهم أن يبذلوا قصارى جهدهم في الحياة ويحققوا “أفضل أداء”.

قارن شي الحياة بالجري، قائلاً إنه يأمل في أن يتمكن الطلاب من “الجري بأقصى ما يستطيعون في مسار شبابهم” و “الارتقاء إلى مستوى توقعات شبابهم وأوقاتهم وشعبهم”.

تعد جامعة رينمين الصينية من بين أفضل 10 جامعات في الصين، وفقًا لأحدث تصنيف من قبل خدمة الجامعات الصينية المستقلة Cuaa.Net .  نائب رئيس مجلس الدولة الصيني ليو هي من بين خريجي الجامعة المشهورين.

يعود تاريخ جامعة الرينمين في الصين إلى مدرسة شانبي العامة، التي تأسست العام 1937.  نمت الجامعة على مر العقود، مع التركيز على العلوم الإنسانية والاجتماعية، فضلاً عن الدراسات الماركسية.

وخلال زيارته، اطلع شي أيضا على الجهود المبذولة لتعزيز حماية واستخدام الكتب القديمة وتعزيز تطبيق إنجازات البحث النظري.
