About Bricx Martillo Dumas.
After witnessing the devastation that the Super Typhoon Yolanda and a changing climate caused in his home country, Bricx committed himself to a life of education, cycling and eco-activism. In November 2021 Bricx Martillo Dumas submitted the digital artwork Nexus to the DigitalArt4Climate Art Competition. This initiative is founded by GloCha in partnership with UN-Habitat, Unique Network, Exquisite Workers and Social Alpha Foundation brought together over 200 creators from 58 nations, all working at the convergence of art and technology in the aim of inspiring a cleaner future.
Participating artists had a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to share their art and concern about the climate emergency at the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference in the digital screens and be seen by 120 world leaders and over 40,000 participants, including 22,274 party delegates, 14.124 observers and 3.886 media representatives. That was the first NFT exhibition for climate in history curated by Anna Dart, Exquisite Workers´s co-founder and DigitalArt4Climate co-creator. For two weeks, the world was riveted on all facets of climate change: the science, the solutions, the political will to act, the indications of action, and for the first time the NFT art.
“It was really an overwhelming experience, especially because sharing the current climate change problems in the Philippines to the world is a big move and is something that is not done often,” says Bricx about what this Art Competition means for himself and for his country.
After 2 weeks of the public voting and thousands of votes on the official website of the DigitalArt4Climate, Bricx Martillo Dumas has been announced as an absolute Winner. Days later Bricx Martillo Dumas received a formal letter from the House of Representatives of Philippines congratulating him and has made appearances on a number of platforms such as ArtGence 3D gallery, CNN Philippines, ANC 24/7 and WSJ+ at Iconic Mints. His work has been featured at collective art creation “Digital Exquisite Corpse”, at Geneva Forum in the major UN quarters in Geneva, Switzerland (December 2021) as well as in Seattle NFT Museum, USA next to Refik Anadol, GMUNK, Sara Ludy, Kyle Gordon and Roger Haus (on display until June 3, 2022).
“DigitalArt4Climate is an open, independently organized international initiative showcasing the game changing potentials of blockchain technology can be harnessed meaningfully for the climate crisis only with blockchain solutions that have a minimal environmental footprint (as provided by the Proof-of-Stake based Polkadot and Kusama blockchain ecosystems),” — says Irina Karagyaur, the Head of the Metaverse Growth at Unique Network. “DigitalArt4Climate aims to inspire artists and pave the path for others to follow and contribute to solve the biggest challenge of our era. And NFT NYC is the Leading Annual Non-Fungible Token Event and an international forum to provide visibility to this project and show an example for global community to follow.”
“We are incredibly humbled to work with Bricx Martillo Dumas and so many brilliant artists at Exquisite Workers and could not be more grateful to them for pioneering and leading the charge into the new paradigm for creatives. We have worked very hard, with a lot of passion, and it is very encouraging to be validated in that work and acknowledged for what we have built. May the wonders of virtuality assist us on building a more healthy and just reality for the new generations! NFT.NYC awards are an incredible positive force in the universe!” — shares Anna Dart.
