Singapore, Singapore–(Newsfile Corp. – August 2, 2022) – The APENFT Foundation announces that the second open call of its $100 million Art Dream Fund launched on August 1st, and registration will close on October 30th. The theme for this year’s call is “Post-Human Era.” This theme seeks to explore whether the future of humanity can transcend traditional self-centered humanism and how people should position themselves in a complex ecosystem consisting of non-human animals, plants, and cyborgs. Creators will also enjoy the opportunity to build their art studios in The Sandbox, a metaverse set to launch by APENFT and TRON. Creators will also be able to get involved in annual online and offline exhibitions curated by APENFT, workshops, artist residencies, and other educational events.
