Art for the Decentralized Age

an NFT project by Haze Long

Who are you?

My name’s Haze and I am an artist based in Malaysia. My background includes film, 3D, web programming, and artistic skillsets. 

My professional career as an artist started as a street artist over a decade ago. I also perform regularly as a speed painter(creating something within an extremely short amount of time on stage).  

In fact, I even founded my own creative company that rose to the top 5% of Cradlefund under the Coach and Grow program, which oddly… caters to Tech startups. 

As a creative influencer, I currently have a 130k audience spread among my social media accounts. I'm so grateful that I can use my social media platforms to give back to the community that has given me so much. Every week, I share tips and tricks for learning new techniques, as well as offering resources on a freemium pricing model.

What is the NFT project?

The concept of NFTs has been around for a while. I didn't want to jump into something without having a clear sense of what it would look like in the long run. I want to be able to express my vision using all the skills that I have in 3D, videography, web coding and art both traditionally and digitally.

The Last Dream is an ongoing NFT collection of mixed media artworks. My artworks are a statement of life, both virtual and reality decentralized in the form of art. You can be the owner of a unique piece of artwork that I’ve created by combining AI technology with 2D and 3D procedural visuals. 

 With every launch of an artwork, 1/1 NFTs will be up for minting at mint.hazelong.com in 2023. All NFTs minted in 2022 can be swapped for a 1/1 from September 2022 onwards. Announcements will be made in discord for swap opportunities.

The role of AI technology in The Last Dream

AI technology has given new life to the age-old art form of painting. The Last Dream is a project that combines AI and human creativity to create unique and beautiful pieces of art. 

I start by giving a direction to the AI technology, which generates the artwork concepts with the help of GANs(Generative Adversarial Networks). Then by utilising my skills, I was able to give meaning, life, and emotions to the paintings. The results are stunning and unlike anything you have ever seen before.

“From artwork to copywriting, this project utilises human interactions with code and AI to create a one-of-a-kind experience.”

Be part of a community that is working together to create a space in one of the upcoming metaverses

I started out with the goal to create a close-knit community to fund and enjoy a space in one of the upcoming metaverses(I am leaning towards the first one with VR capability).

By purchasing any NFT from “The Last Dream”, you’ll receive voting and management rights to our space in the metaverse and to our funds.

I minted a Metaverse world from Hyperfy in August 2022 and am pleased to share the current & upoming capabilities of this amazing world : 

  • Cross platform metaverse infrastructure(VR supported!)

  • Real time collaborative editor(NFT holders can build)

  • Renting & mintable objects

  • Avatars, mounts, vehicles

  • Token and P2E mechanics

Current intentions for the space includes visual, musical, and performing arts exhibits. Rewards will be allocated to NFT holders in the form of fungible and non-fungible tokens within the metaverse. 

Who are you?

My name’s Haze and I am an artist based in Malaysia. My background includes film, 3D, web programming, and artistic skillsets. 

My professional career as an artist started as a street artist over a decade ago. I am renowned in my country as a speed painter(creating something within an extremely short amount of time on stage).  My skills and talents have earned me quite a number of press coverage and my first solo art exhibition was officiated by Penang’s Chief Minister.

In fact, I even founded my own creative company that rose to the top 5% of Cradlefund under the Coach and Grow program, which oddly… caters to Tech startups.

The Last Dream was a project that supports charities who focus on child abuse prevention, response and psychological healing.

I was a victim of child abuse for more than 20 years. The aftermath is something that I've been dealing with for years, and it's taken me a long time to become functional in society. My primary calling in life has been advocating for the safety of children at home and across the world.

It's not an easy job, but it's one that I'm passionate about. I've seen firsthand how child abuse can destroy lives, and I refuse to let that happen anymore.

Rewards

Early Backers

The first batch of 10/10 tokens will be sold at 0.07 ETH, with increments in pricing based on sales milestone. This is to thank early backers and reward them for their confidence and early backing of my project.

The community will vote on all metaverse-based incentives and utilities.

Holders will also enjoy priority access to project-related items, tokens, and assets.

The Last Dream's ongoing project is governed by the ERC 721A Smart Contract on the Ethereum blockchain.  Management & ownership passes to the future Metaverse can either be unlocked using purchased NFTS.
