About

The “Arrival” project will present the systematic work of “Crypto ZR” incorporating internet discussions regarding crypto art, attributed to the discussion on language, civilisation, and communication in the film “Arrival”.

Somewhere between the old and new world, Crypto ZR will take you to another place based on algorithms, crypto, virtual, digital, anonymous, and decentralised, referenced as the “portal to the metaverse”. The metaverse era rethinks the world of economy, concordance, environment, resources, ideology, computational propaganda, viruses, and human nature.

These are relevant to the various situations in which Crypto ZR is presented at work and through time. The “Arrival” Project, too, is time-based and uses technology and art to understand the power of human connection.
