When I was a child, I remember reading a Donald Duck story about his frustration that people were different from him. In the story, he suddenly multiplied himself to be in the city with only several versions of himself, leading to everything being a total disaster.
It turns out that we need different points of view, temperaments, skills and cultural points of view to make this whole planet work. Nowadays, when you have something real to say, you are a threat to someone.
We’ve lost the idea that some of our bad ideas should die in the face of better ones in public conversations, so we don’t all have to die for bad ideas. As many perceive that there is no transcendent realm in the West, many feel that their ideas are who they are. So challenging ideas, even horrible ones, feel like dying to them.
Each of us are checks and balances, if this democracy thing is done well, but it goes further. We are born with different temperaments to maintain the balance of the cosmos, even if the planets clash with each other at times. An easier way is to try to get a New York socialite to take care of the cultivation of his farm.
As noted in the previous article, the art world, in general, still has no idea about the value of decentralized digital certificates. The human desire to erase the parts we don’t like, multiply in an attempt to achieve utopia, and play power games – without responsibility – led to this multiplied Donald Duck nightmare. True inclusion means inclusion of temperaments and ideas foreign to us, and living with that is HARD work. The law of entropy means something that Ayn Rand once said:
You can avoid reality, but you can’t avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.

From Vantaa to Dubai
When I was a kid, a couple of kids used to call me “big-headed” because my head was disproportionately larger than the rest of my body. It was true at the time, but I imagine it also had something to do with those big ideas I had, which didn’t really fit into Vantaa’s gray, suburban school environment. I’m sure you’ve never heard of Vantaa, but that has something to do with great ideas not being as common there, even if some individuals reach escape velocity. I’m not saying it was the Bronx of the ’70s, but since difficult environments harm us, they also reproduce. content. This is a Finnish term equivalent to something like sand, but it doesn’t quite cover it. It has been a very useful thing throughout my life as I continue to be encouraged and inspired by great ideas.
This bubble head figure is being turned into a 50cm 3D statue by the talented and idea-filled Hadrien of Arteier3D. we met through Hamad Al-Ali from the Yalla Group previously in Dubai and we stayed in touch to find ways to work together. Making this statue is a great honor for me, with a feeling that goes back to some lemons being turned into lemonade since I was a child. It goes to show that by working hard enough and pushing for a vision, things become possible. So grateful for this whole process now, even if some of the pain remains as rocket fuel that will soar even higher.
More on this collaboration later, as we have even bigger ideas.

Would you fly in this?
Thanks to Mic Kuismathat I finally met in person at the Conf Tmrw In Serbia, I was introduced to Martin from White Mammoth Studios. He is now responsible for implementing “Desert Rose” into a fantastical depiction of a villa and a jet, giving us a glimpse of where we are headed. We will be working together on many things, so this is a great start.
What does it look like when liabilities become assets through a creative art and licensing process using digital certificates? Can assets be converted into additional value through the same process?
Before traveling to Finland this summer, thanks to the kind introduction of HE Amna FikriWe had a meeting with the eloquent HE Fahad Al-Girgawiwho is the CEO of Dubai Investment Development Agency (FDI in Dubai). We continue to be inspired by the vision of Dubai and the UAE, as well as feel that there is a significant contribution we can add to the region through our Renaissance 360 concept.
fT nft at Dubai Mall
Pioneer in physical and digital integration, the ftNFT Art Gallery Located in the Dubai Mall it is one of its kind. The super-stylish store, equipped with displays and open space to showcase physical works and merchandise, stands as the Fastex exchange’s grand creative experiment. VESA has always worked to bridge the physical and digital, so a partnership between the two was a natural evolution.
