What a journey. Some call it an Odyssey. In any case, we stumbled upon ancient statues that are a part of mythology. Dimitri Daniloff also fell in love with the sculptures. Serendipity came into play. Frenship was born. Archaeologists invited us to scan and the rest is history. The statues are 2,000+ years old and are a part of Greek mythology. Some of them have been auctioned by Sotheby's in the '90s. We did some detective work and they ended up being located in a city near us. This kickstarted a journey of exploration to transform these historic objects into immersive NFTs that allow Ohmies to travel back to the future.
NFT summer pressured artists into thinking they have to keep up with a regular schedule of art creation and sales in order to not be left behind. You know what they say, never rush art. We didn’t rush it, we enjoyed the creative process, a lot, and we took our time to keep iterating. It took us almost one year, but now, we can’t wait to display these artifacts and how we transposed them to the Odyssey metaverse.
At the age of 26, Dimitri Daniloff received a camera as a gift and became enamored and obsessed with photography. He has been immersed in its world ever since. While his work is often inspired by fantasy, he goes to great lengths to accomplish as much in-camera, as possible. He relishes the opportunity to work with raw ideas and shape them piece by piece into reality. For over a decade, Dimitri has been among the top 10 advertising photographers in the world. Dimitri Daniloff pioneered the switch from analog to digital. Some of the brands that bought his work are Absolut Vodka, Air France, Audi, Carlsberg, Land Rover, LG, Longchamp, Nike, and Sony Playstation.
OlympusDAO protocol is brilliant, but complex to fully understand. This is why we have seen so many (3,3) memes that made the bootstrapping phase easier to communicate. However, these ultra-high APY memes might have framed us as to-good-to-be-true in the early days and we now want to transmit our OlympusDAO culture with quality NFTs and focus on building the econOHMy. Just before the start of NFT Summer, we decided to further develop our NFT Marketplace under the wings of OlympusDAO as Odyssey. We are getting ready for a soft launch on 4/20 with a hard launch on 6/9.
