The project will inspire the modern RealEstate movement
2,500 unique NFT collectible pieces with proof of ownership stored on the Ethereum blockchain.
Meet the Souls
Soul Window is a unique Iris collection
Programmatically generated, from 15 individual and unique pieces, coming from alternate dimensions. The final mission is to explore all Soul Window cities.
Concept
THE EYE
Eyes are the windows of the soul. When there is nothing else to say, the eyes are the ones that do the talking with undeniable truth and intrigued deepness. They are independent and self sufficient.
DISSECTION
By studying the anatomical structure of the eye, we chose to explore de expressionist vastness and uniqueness of the iris. it´s singularity determines de jumpstart of the "Soulwindow" project.
IRIS
Geometrically concentric and organically singular, the Iris becomes the art piece. By creating different layers within the same iris, the parametrical possibilities scale. Each and every art piece becomes eccentric, conceptually resemblant of the real Iris sole sigularity.
ART
The art was born as an analogical painting. Using acrylic paint over a wooden spool and respecting the concentric nature of the piece, the "soul window" materializes as an art piece in itself.
URBAN APROACH
The "Soul window" project will evolve into an urban plan for a future Soul city. As a basic understanding of the morphology of it´s own singularity, the Soul city will express itself by transforming the 2d scheme into a 3d volumetric approach of physical space.
OPEN SPACE
The Soul window project will develop the construction space and the open social space with the same significance and detailed substance. It will consider urban theories about entity coexistence and social thriving.
GREEN AREA
Soul city will emphasize on the extol of green areas within the city itself. All cities will, one way or another, consider green space along its streets, plazas, open spaces, patios, terraces and rooftops.
SOULCITY
Soul city will then become a realestate mining Gem. They will have the potential of exponential vertical growth, that can virtually represent an actual quarry slot.
SoulWindow Metaverse = Soulcity
The "Soul window" project will evolve into an urban plan for a future Soul city. As a basic understanding of the morphology of it´s own singularity, the Soul city will express itself by transforming the 2d scheme into a 3d volumetric approach of physical space.
Samples
Vision
VERTICALITY
The foundation of a Soul city comes from the soul window art project. It evolves by aplying the concept of verticality to each polygon represented on the Iris. By conceptually molding the volumetric realm, the city begins to shape itself, giving importance to open space and built space the same.
CORRELATION
The interdependence of variable singular entities. The Soul city is considered as cellular urban being that can interconnect within the virtual world. These structured units will take advantage of each other´s linkage and will add to the creation of a virtual, digital grid... A glimpse of a Soul window Metaverse.
SOULCITY
A radial concentric city that connects with the next.
Depending on the urban plan itself, the height of the buildings may vary according to de rarity of the soul window and its interpretation of space.
Roadmap
Phase 1 -> Community Preparation
Initial phase that will have 100 art pieces at a value of .25 ETH.
Once the 100 pieces have been assigned or sold, the corresponding image will be revealed. This means that at the moment you buy your piece, the image of it will be hidden. It will be revealed until the 100 foundational pieces are sold.
It is common for NFTs to be accompanied by rarity variables or attributes to differentiate them from the entire collection.
Phase 2 -> 400 Pieces
This phase will have 400 art pieces at a value of 0.3 ETH. Once the 400 pieces have been assigned of sold, the image of the corresponding piece will be revealed.
Phase 3 -> 1,000 pieces
This phase will have 1000 art pieces at a value of 0.4 ETH. Once the whole 1000 pieces have been assigned or sold, the image of the corresponding piece will be revealed.
Phase 4 - > 1,000 pieces
This last phase will have 1000 art pieces at a value of 0.5 ETH. Once the whole 1000 pieces have been assigned or sold, the image of the corresponding piece will be revealed.
At the end of the 4th phase, the rarity and singularity variables of the 2,500 pieces will be revealed
Details and FAQ
Soul Window is an artistic series of 2500 digital NFT pieces, mounted on the Ethereum blockchain.
An NFT (Non Fungible Token), is a token that cannot be subdivided and can represent anything exclusive. They are useful for content creators and digital artists of any kind, they are safe and used in the digital world because of the asset ownership they provide. If you want to know more about this topic, we leave you the following link: https://ethereum.org/eng/nft
In order to buy an NFT, it is important to have a wallet (electronic wallet). The wallet allows you to make a balance inquiry, operate cryptocurrencies, view the operations executed from your wallet. In the case of NFT´s all the necessary information will be saved within your own wallet where you will identify you digital asset, price and property; among others.
There are two types:
Hot wallets are those found online (Software) and can be accessed as long as you have an internet connection from any browser or application. They are useful if frequent transactions are carried out, however, as they are online tools, the custody of information is in the hands of third parties. This does not mean they are not safe. There are companies dedicated to the security of wallets, however there are wallet owners who prefer to protect them for themselves. The best known, useful and easy to use is MetaMask. We leave a link for one guide on how to create your wallet in Meta Mask.
The cold wallet is one of the safest and most recommended options in the industry. This type of wallet stores the digital information outside the networks (that is, in a hardware), therefore, a physical medium is needed to access them; be it a computer, USB, cell phone, etc. This provides greater security as it avoids the risk of hacking. The best known cold wallets are Ledger and Trezor. Here you have a link with some options. This type of wallet requires a bit more steps and technical skills.
Note: Either option, hot wallet or cold wallet, requires you to keep a list of words. They can be 12 or 24 words with a specific order. Those words and the order of them are equivalent to your username and password. Therefore, you must ultra protect them and must not share them or lose them. If you lose them, you will not be able to access your wallet or the things you have bought. This is why we suggest you yo be very careful with this information. There are many articles on the Internet that can help you with ideas on how to safeguard those words.
Once you have created your wallet, it will be important to fund with Ethereum cryptocurrency (ETH) so you can buy your Soul Window NFT Pieces. It is important to consider that our first 100 pieces will be worth 0.25 Eth (Ethereum) each. Depending on how many pieces you want to buy, is the amount or Ethereum you must buy. Here is a link to monitor the cost of 1 ETH in real time: https://www.binance.com/en/trade/ETH_USDT
It is important to consider the associated fees to issue the purchase transaction of your NFT (the fee is similar to a visa/mastercard commission), which fluctuates, and depends on the blockchain, time of day, number of transactions and the saturation of the system. Here is a link to monitor the cost of fee or GAS as it is known in the industry: https://etherscan.io/gastracker
There are two ways to do it beforehand, buy it directly through your wallet supplier or have someone transfer ethereum to your wallet. If you chose to have a MetaMask wallet, it offers a very easy ETH purchase solution. It is simple: you only need your credit/debit card to fund your wallet.
Here is a link to how to do it you chose a cold wallet, the best way is to buy it through someone or a hot wallet and then transfer it to your cold wallet. One way is to create an account on the b or coinbase platforms and from there send it to your cold wallet. (this implies the commissions of transaction or the GAS fee). The other easier option is that when you go in to buy the SoulWindow NFT on the 10th of November, it will tell you the necessary amount of ETH you need to be able to buy one. It will show you the total amount to buy one through your card.
On the evening of the 10th of November you must enter the SoulWindow.art page. In there, you will see a button that says “Connect Wallet” Which when clicked, it'll then launch a pop up. Follow the purchase instructions until the minting process is over. This process of creating the asset certificate and uploading it to the blockchain network is called The Mint.
Go to the etherscan.io page and place your public token (this in NOT your 12-24 words, it is a token of your wallet. ie: Ox2…), there you will see all the transactions from your wallet, there will be the transaction with us, validating your purcahse.
The value of an NFT comes from the property it represents, which is generally something that exists in the digital world like an original piece of art or digital memorabilia. The NFT itself doesn’t necessarily contain the digital property, but points to its location on the blockchain. Like a concert ticket or a deed to a physical property, an NFT reflects the value of the thing it represents.
Traditional works of art such as paintings are valuable because they are one of a kind. But digital files can be easily and endlessly duplicated.With NFTs, artwork can be “tokenised” to create a digital certificate of ownership that can be bought and sold. As with crypto-currency, a record of who owns what is stored on a shared ledger known as the blockchain. The records cannot be forged because the ledger is maintained by thousands of computers around the world. NFTs can also contain smart contracts that may give the artist, for example, a cut of any future sale of the token.
We have created several options for the future and vision of the Soul window project. Some of them are:
Extension of the project with visual elements
Animated images of the piece
The Puzzle
All the pieces plus a complement, can assemble to create a sphere (similar to the earth as we know it)
Mint game
Depending on the color or shape, a mineral can be assigned to your piece. An own crypto currency can be generated for the transaction of minerals between cities (art pieces)
Real Estate
Based on the shape and color of the elements of each piece, the definition on space occupancy will be determined. This will tell you hoy high can you go when building your virtual city.
Metaverse
Considering you can develop your virtual city based on the real estate definition, when having an actual digital building, you will be able to sell or rent virtual space. Games with various objectives and styles in each of the cities.
It is very important that you follow our official social networks. There is a lot of SCAM (fraudulent sites) out there in all projects, an to take care of each other it is important that you follow us and our official announcements at:
