“We are excited to launch the first series of Vogue Singapore mystery boxes on Binance. This is a step towards a long-term strategy to bridge the crypto and gaming communities with digital investors, curious tech-savvy consumers, and luxury brands,” said Michael von Schlippe, president of Media Publishers, the publisher of Vogue Singapore.

“The mystery boxes will serve as a continuous process to engage the crypto community and allow them to interact with Vogue in a new format.”

Why is Vogue launching the NFT mystery boxes?

  • The boxes are created in partnership with Brytehall, a premium NFT platform launching in September to target the crypto-community as well as NFT collectors, and NFKings Productions, a Binance-invested creative, and productions agency. 

  • The boxes contain NFT artworks that depict the moment of sunrise in 10 cities around the world, along with a Vogue astronaut exploring each city.

  • The 10 cities available in the mystery boxes are Hong Kong, London, Milan, New York, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Seoul, Shanghai, Sydney and Tokyo.

  • The collectors who obtain all 10 cities will be directed to a Binance Smart Chain-powered decentralized marketplace RARA via a secret link for an opportunity to purchase an eleventh and limited-edition Singapore sunrise NFT, thereby completing the full Vogue Singapore Mystery Box set. 

  • Collectors who own the complete Vogue Singapore Mystery Box set stand a chance to win two physical luxury timepieces and those who obtain three super rare city cards from the Vogue Mystery Box will also join a lucky draw to win one of three staycations with HoteLux.

We all need to start rethinking and doing something for our world, even if the fish starts to stink at the head. Maybe Bitcoin can help us to go in the right direction. Grassroots movements can achieve a lot.

The Harvest
An anthropomorphic figure stands, wide eyed, staring at the viewer; its body masculine, muscular, and humanoid. Its “mind” dissociates into a conglomerate of structures resembling feathers, grain, teeth–as well as a radial flower “node”, casting linear rays throughout the composition. To his left, a vat of bodies gesture and writhe in a kind of amniotic soup, attended by a video game robot. The bot's red display reads “uWu”. Behind the robot and filling the left side of the composition is an archaic figure composed of a variety of vintage objects and symbols. Among them are a hardbound book with ancient cuneiform scripts, indicating barley, beer, bread, ox, house, and sky, behind which is a grimacing, salivating jagged toothed maw; and an old Commodore floppy drive. The figure’s head tilts toward an illuminated crescent moon, suggesting the Egyptian Sacred Bull. The archaic figure is composed of a variety of mutating cells, which shift in color, and pattern; eventually breaking free into an ephemeral broadcast of bubbles which move across the background. The work came into being against a psychological introspection, which included associations to pop culture such as alien abduction and pod people, as well as quite a bit of reflection on grains as a symbol of civilization, agriculture, sustenance, life, and imbibing (mainly whiskies).
