The virtual installation included nearly 800 different pieces that Kahlo used in her everyday life, unseen by the public until last week.
Little-known objects and ephemera belonging to the iconic Mexican artist Frida Kahlo went on display last week as part of Decentraland’s third-annual Metaverse Art Week, which was held held between August 24-28.
The digital recreation represented the house’s first 20 years. “It sets up a lot of her struggles and adversities, but also her drive and passion for life; between polio, coming of age, and a major bus accident,” said Luke McFarlane, co-founder of Ezel, in a statement. Founded in 2020, Decentraland is one of the best-known 3D metaverse browser-based platforms in existence. It runs on the MANA cryptocurrency, tethered to the Ethereum blockchain, which enables to collect and build digital assets like land, estate, avatars, wearables, art, galleries, and museums.
