Bright Moments, the DAO-driven roving NFT art festival, has arrived in Tokyo, offering attendees a live experience of minting generative Ethereum NFT artwork. The festival spans multiple locations, three different digital art collections, and dozens of notable artists. The centerpiece is a custom arcade game cabinet that allows up to 1,000 attendees to mint a CryptoTokyoite, one of 10,000 total pixel avatars serving as membership passes to the Bright Moments DAO. The venue also offers a Suntory bar, an AI booth, and a vending machine paired with a contraption that shoots out fog rings. The event hosts a Japanese Contemporary collection and the AI Art Collection, featuring new works from 11 artists producing AI-assisted artwork. Bright Moments has previously been held in New York, London, and Mexico City, and the festival will travel to Buenos Aires in October before returning to Venice Beach next year.
