Cydr
(Brazil)
21yo artist based in Curitiba, Brazil, working with mixed media and illustrations in a way to express his distorted mind. Although Cydr has always been creating, even as a child, he really caught up with his passion by doing graphic design needs far back in 2016, developing most of his skill with the basics tools in Photoshop. Later then, as he got older and his vision began to show up - he finally felt ready to put in what he had learnt into the test by going in the art field itself, as in a way to truly express what he feels with the help of his passion. In 2021, he then got involved with crypto space; since then, many works have been eternalized, and it is beautiful to see its construction.
Dadaz
(South Korea)
DADAZ strives to remain open to new fields and projects, ultimately leaving a lasting impact as an artist who created culture alongside DADAZ fam. Together, they embarked on a shared journey of discovering new values.The DADAZ project was launched by presenting NFT artworks as gifts to acquaintances, with distribution of the 888 pieces ongoing to this day. As the number of recipients (DADAZ Fam) increased, multi-layered communities formed, expanding rapidly through the creation of secondary works and offline meetups. DADAZ's work is characterized by the "eyes, nose, and mouth" motif. Three white lines are casually drawn downwards, with black rice-shaped dots on both sides representing pupils, stimulating imaginative expressions. This motif serves as a signature element in every picture. Another sculptural element is the "spell," a free curve arranged in one to five lines on the background of every screen. It's not a special sentence, but DADAZ’s spell is like an another language in a state of “trance." It contains DADAZ's warm heart, which thinks of the recipient of the picture (DADAZ Fam). Ultimately, the spell becomes a "bridge" linking individuals.

Influenced by his no-man’s-land childhood in the Upper Palatinate and the German skater scene of the late eighties, Nitsch’s narratives of people in dialogue with life observe individual and collective identities through a bright, clean vision—he uses social context and the (urban) landscape to explore these identities in relation to cultural and intercultural realities. Nitsch published his first monograph Bangkok – Urban Identities in 2006. He is the recipient of numerous awards, both as designer (New York Festival and BDA, among others) and photographer (Los Angeles International Photography Award and Hasselblad Masters semifinalist, among others). He was cofounder of Europe’s first crossover skate- and snowboard magazine, Playboard, and the corporate design studio RUPA. In 2020, Nitsch became a lifetime member of the Royal Photographic Society of Thailand.
