In Egyptian mythology, Ra traveled every evening at sunset on a solar barge through the underworld in order to rise again each morning.

Inspired by this concept, The Passage of Ra is a new NFT installation by A.A. Murakami that juxtaposes the ephemeral nature of a fleeting moment with the immutable permanence of the blockchain.

Debuting at NFT Paris 2023, this installation is the first of a series of immersive NFTs that bring to life what A.A. Murakami has termed the ‘Mataverse.' Distinct from a Metaverse, which is a virtual world, a Mataverse is a multi-sensory physical environment that also exists on the blockchain.

This a multi-stage drop with several different opportunities to collect, including utilities for holding or redeeming multiple tokens.

The Eye of Ra Vol. I

A.A. Murakami's first open edition NFT will be available for purchase from Thursday 2/23 at 9:00am PST to Sunday 2/26 at 11:59pm PST.

Owners that hold 5 or more OEs (pre-sale snapshot at 9AM PST, Monday, March 13) will be invited to an exclusive pre-sale on March 20.

The Passage of Ra will only exist as a Mataverse installation at NFT Paris for days, but it will be forever captured in an 11-minute generative art video, which will be sold in 1-minute segments on MakersPlace in March 2023.
