Geek Pictures Launches NFT Platform MOSAIC NATION: Supporting Artists Around the World with Unique Features to Exhibit, Sale, and Buy Sets of Digital Artwork and Real Artwork The First Artist is Indian Contemporary Artist Shilo Shiv Suleman, Creator of Kama Sutra-Inspired Works
GEEK WONDERS, the creative unit dedicated to the content business of Geek Pictures Inc.; Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President: Tamotsu Kosano, announces the release of the original NFT platform MOSAIC NATION beta version on Thursday, October 7. It has been developed with the support of RECIKA Co., Ltd.; Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: Chris Dai, with Quan Inc.; Head office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President: Kazuhiro Mizuno, to support artists around the world.
Background of this Release
Geek Pictures, producing numerous content centering on videos, launched an NFT platform focusing on supporting artists. Today, many artists exhibit their works on existing NFT platforms, and it is becoming a booming market. However, the works of famous artists occupy their top pages, causing difficulty in discovering emerging artists and their talent.
Furthermore, it is confirmed that these existing platforms have weaknesses, including the lack of functions such as the user (buyer) qualitative analysis and artwork promotion. Hence, Geek Pictures will work on solutions for these issues and promote the works of artists around the world regardless of their track record, leveraging our knowledge of advertising, promotion, and video production obtained through our existing businesses. We will regularly release quality artwork to stimulate the art industry.

She releases a total of 21 sensual and joyful artworks into a chaotic virtual world.

Profile
Shilo Shiv Suleman
Shilo Shiv Suleman is an Indian contemporary artist. She gave a talk on TED, where global public figures hold lectures. Her works bridge magical realism, art, technology, and social justice. Through paintings, wearable sculptures, interactive installations, public art, and digital art, she boldly mashups sensuality and holiness, and the past and future for her sublime works.
Co-created with neuroscientists Suleman’s installation Pulse and Bloom, which reacts to brain waves and self-powered biosensors, was invited by the Burning Man festival. In addition, she won several grants.
Suleman was featured in various media, including the BBC, Rolling Stone, MSNBC, TechCrunch, The Guardian, and WIRED. Her works were also exhibited at the Southbank Centre in London and the Amsterdam Museum.
In her latest series of works Kama-Devi, translating to “Goddess of Desire,” Suleman questions us what our first encounter with desire and sexuality was. This collection asks the audience how sexuality and eroticism play a role of emotional fulfillment in their life and sets an intention towards a legacy and longevity of sexuality and Indian native dialogues.
The series is immersive and poetic, connecting to ancient times. The works arouse deeper inspiration for our physical encounters and release sensuality from the body and an analog world to boldly develop it in digital spaces.
Art is presented both in tangible and intangible forms. Artworks exist within metaverses (three-dimensional virtual spaces) and are created as tangible sculptures using augmented reality.
Future Development
MOSAIC NATION will handle not only high-quality works by domestic and international artists but also by young artists and music. In addition to website management, the platform will organize special events such as exhibitions derived from these artworks. We hope many people will enjoy this new art experience.
