HONG KONG, July 6, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Chronic Games, the pioneering blockchain-based gaming company, is proud to announce an unprecedented partnership with globally recognized artist and Existential Computing pioneer Miltos Manetas. This groundbreaking collaboration aims to explore the boundaries between art, technology, and psychedelia within the metaverse, revolutionizing the international artistic and gaming landscapes.

Having accumulated a large following and considerable visibility in the NFT collecting community with the buildup to the launch of CryptoChronic, their flagship videogame, Chronic Games has entered this strong relationship aiming to redefine the gaming experience by combining digital art, GameFi, and player-owned communities in an immersive ecosystem that enables gamers to earn while playing.

Miltos Manetas, an illustrious figure in the art world and a pioneer of the Relational Aesthetics movement, will create exclusive, limited edition Chronic NFTs for use in the blockchain-based videogame, CryptoChronic, and its evolving and expansive game world. Not only will these special Chronics provide unique ownership opportunities for players to realize appreciation for their collections, but they also represent the realization of Chronic Games’ vision of the metaverse, as well as a brand-new form of art distribution and “consumption”. This innovative approach leverages the power of blockchain technology, enabling players to truly own their in-game assets and actively participate in a thriving community.

Manetas channels his creative energy into the digital realm, earning international acclaim also for his pioneering contributions to the concept of Existential Computing. By eschewing traditional forms of performance, objects, and site-specific installations, Manetas has ushered in a new era of artistic expression, seamlessly blending the boundaries between the virtual and physical realms. His work delves into the intricate interplay between computers, video games, and human beings, offering insightful explorations of the representations and aesthetics that define our information-driven society. As a globally renowned painter, Manetas delves into the realm of new technologies, investigating their profound impact on humanity through his internet-based artworks. Through a process of gathering input from the virtual world, he skillfully reinterprets and decodes reality and its representations on the canvas, thus giving birth to a novel iconographic system that encapsulates the essence of our present era, driven by an innate desire for meaningful communication.

The partnership between Chronic Games and Miltos Manetas brings together the themes and narratives of CryptoChronic and Manetas' art, providing a coherent and immersive experience for collectors. By incorporating storytelling elements and interactive, gamified experiences, the collaboration leverages the digital nature of NFTs and offers engaging interactivity that further involves them.
