Digital Media Veteran Ruth McCartney Brings Rock History To The Blockchain – Liquid Avatar $LQID – ImagineAR $IP.ca $IPNFF

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:55 PM on Thursday, March 25th, 2021

  • Digital assets stored on the blockchain can be endlessly copied, but legal and finite ownership of original digital artwork, music and more is becoming the domain of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), now enjoying their moment in the cyber-sun as the hot cryptocurrency investment du jour.

By PYMNTS

Enter ex-Beatle and iconoclast, the late John Lennon. What’s the connection? It’s famed rock music photographer and jewelry designer May Pang who, as the story goes, went from personal assistant to paramour of Lennon in 1973 during an 18-month breakup from his wife, Yoko Ono.

In the annals of rock star indulgence, it’s known as Lennon’s infamous “Lost Weekend” in Los Angeles (again, lasting nearly two years) during which punches flew, substances were abused, public scenes ensued in L.A. watering holes, and late songwriter Harry Nilsson (“Everybody’s Talkin’ at Me” and “Me and My Arrow”) reportedly saved Lennon from a bad psychological slide.

Pang chronicled the entire affair (no pun intended) with her camera, capturing deeply personal moments of what turned out to be some of Lennon’s last years on earth. The Beatles co-founder was murdered outside of his New York City apartment building in December 1980.

Speaking with PYMNTS, Pang and Ruth McCartney, stepsister to Beatles co-founder Sir Paul, spoke of their partnership bringing a slice of Lennon history back to life.

Together with global blockchain solutions firm Liquid Avatar Technologies, augmented reality (AR) platform ImagineAR, Oasis Digital Studios and McCartney Multimedia, the parties are “bringing [Pang’s] personal and exclusive collection of ‘John Lennon’s Lost Weekend’ photographs featuring her intimate 18 months with the rock ‘n’ roll icon to the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collector market through Oasis Digital Studios,” per a statement.

Along with the sound of tens of millions of Lennon fans fainting at the prospect of owning these original sounds and images is the scramble for digital wallets as bidding begins.

Pang Partners With Sir Paul McCartney’s Digital-Savvy Stepsister On NFT Line

Pang knew the late icon better than most, telling PYMNTS, “John Lennon loved the idea of instant. So now … you have your [digital] camera and you go, ‘I don’t like that photo, [delete it] put the next one in,’ — he would love that more than anything else.” She added, “That’s where my book [title comes from], ‘Instamatic Karma.’ [It’s] a play on his song title.”

Perhaps a ripping Beatles cover song — “Money (That’s What I Want)” — would be the more appropriate citation when speaking about NFTs. Trade in NFTs began heating up earlier this year as everyone from Lindsay Lohan to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was suddenly auctioning off their most famous digital assets, like Dorsey’s first-ever tweet.

For her part, McCartney and her Oasis Digital Studios are rocking her world-class Rolodex to bring digital ownership of even more amazing moments in pop culture to the crypto crowd.

“We’re not just taking photographs … and selling them as JPEGs,” McCartney said. “There is a whole multimedia component, in some cases augmented reality, in some cases cinematics. We’re turning these iconic photographs and paintings and pieces of pop culture … [into digital] audio and visual [NFTs].”

She added, “I think art is just following that natural progression of … drawings on cave walls to paintings in the Sistine Chapel, to something hanging on the wall in a collector’s place or the Louvre. We all live in our phones … so why wouldn’t we collect art digitally, especially if it’s protected in the blockchain?”

McCartney said she likes to call NFTs “non-forgeable tokens” to illustrate their unique digital attributes.

“I think it’s a lot more attractive because … how many great old masters have been counterfeited and ripped off? Well, with this medium, you can’t do it. So, it guarantees the owner exclusivity, and it guarantees the artist protection for their work.”

Among her next moves in the space will be foodie NFTs from the world’s top chefs, she said.

“Money Don’t Get Everything, It’s True…”

Pang said she views the new crypto craze through an artist’s lens, telling PYMNTS that after discussing NFTs with McCartney, she realized the creative opportunities afforded by the form.

Noting that with NFTs “I could take my photographs and put in events” and other multimedia elements, Pang compared the NFT phenomenon to The Beatles’ groundbreaking Sgt. Pepper’s album, still hailed as a technological breakthrough for the creation of art in the 1960s.

Harking back to her comment about Lennon’s love of all things instant, Pang said, “He would be deep in the thick of this, too,” meaning the creation of NFTs. For the man credited with the first (and only) political protest to take place in a hotel suite, Pang’s call seems on the money.

While “John Lennon’s Lost Weekend” NFT is a collection of images and more, when asked about favorite items in the collection, Pang’s tone lightened to a laugh as she recalled Lennon’s personal favorite image, now part of the NFT, of himself wearing an Aran sweater.

“That was one of his favorites,” Pang told PYMNTS, noting that Lennon said, “‘I like the way I look.’ He didn’t like a lot of photographs that were out there [of] him.”

Getting the vote for most dramatic NFT image in the collection: Lennon signing the papers legally dissolving The Beatles, consigning them off to the ages — and now, the blockchain.

Now let’s Rock’n’Roll!” commented May Pang , Artist

In September 1973 , while separated from 2 nd wife Yoko, May Pang and John Lennon left New York for Los Angeles to promote Mind Games and began an 18-month relationship, which John affectionately and publicly referred to this period of his life as his “Lost Weekend”.

While there, Lennon was inspired to embark on two recording projects: to make an album of the old rock ‘n’ roll songs that inspired him to become a musician.  In October 1973 , Lennon collaborated with Phil Spector to record the oldies album, Rock ‘n’ Roll, which Lennon would ultimately complete with the same musicians he used on Walls and Bridges .

Pang also arranged for Julian Lennon to visit his father for the first time in almost three years and Julian began to see his father more regularly. Lennon bought Julian a Gibson Les Paul guitar and a drum machine for Christmas in 1973 and encouraged Julian’s interest in music by showing him some chords.

In March 1974 , Lennon began producing Harry Nilsson’s Pussy Cats album, thus named to counter the “bad boy” image the pair had earned in the media at Los Angeles famed music club, The Troubadour. At that time, Lennon thought it would be a good idea for the musicians to live under one roof. to ensure they would get to the studio on time, so Nilsson rented a beach house in Santa Monica , for himself, May, Lennon, Klaus Voormann, Ringo Starr , and Keith Moon to live in.

During this period, Pang encouraged Lennon to reach out to family and friends. He and Paul McCartney mended fences and played together for the first and only time after the breakup of the Beatles, which became the bootleg album A Toot and a Snore in ’74 .

In May 1974 , Lennon and Pang returned to live in Manhattan.  While visiting Mick Jagger at Andy Warhol’s compound in Montauk, New York , Lennon, and Pang saw a Scottish-style cottage for sale close to the Montauk Point Lighthouse.  Lennon asked a real estate broker to put in an offer for it in January 1975.  In the same month, Lennon and Pang were also planning on visiting Paul and Linda McCartney in New Orleans , where Wings were recording the Venus and Mars album, but Lennon reconciled with Yoko in February, just before the planned visit, thus ending the relationship with Pang.

Pang received an RIAA gold record award for her work on Walls and Bridges and continued her work as production coordinator of Lennon’s Rock ‘n’ Roll album, where she was credited as “Mother Superior”.  Pang also worked on albums by Nilsson, Starr, Elton John , and David Bowie .

“I have known May for many years and always been an admirer of her spirit and energy, not to mention her eye for taking a great photograph. McCartney Multimedia is honoured to be representing this historically significant art in the new digital universe,” said Ruth McCartney , Digital Diva, and founder of McCartney Multimedia.

TORONTO, ON and ERIE, PA and NEW YORK, NY / March 22, 2021 / Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. (CSE:LQID)(OTC PINK:TRWRF)(FRA:4T51) Liquid Avatar Technologies, a global blockchain, digital identity and fintech solutions company together with ImagineAR Inc. (CSE:IP/OTC:IPNFF), an Augmented Reality platform company, reports that Oasis Digital Studios (“Oasis”) is excited to announce that they have partnered with Apex Comics Group, founded by comic book industry veteran, Mariano Nicieza, to bring the PHAZER Universe and other published characters to Liquid Avatar as custom digital icons, integrated multi-media, Augmented Reality items and cinematic, AR enhanced Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). A sneak peek of the program will be made virtually on March 26th and 27th at Comic Con International’s WonderCon.

Bringing images to life, Oasis is developing NFTs with cinematic quality, motion, sound, and special effects that make them true collectibles. Each Oasis Cinematic and AR Enhanced NFT will come complete with an Augmented Reality Experience through Liquid Avatar providing users the ability to showcase their NFTs in the virtual and real world. A cinematic trailer is available at the Oasis website – www.oasisdigitalstudios.com.

The integrated campaign, expected to launch in early Spring, will feature a series of limited-edition collector cinematic and AR enhanced NFTs, Liquid Avatar digital icons available in the Liquid Avatar Marketplace, and a fully immersive cinematic and 3D global Augmented Reality scavenger hunt powered by ImagineAR. A pre-sale waiting list is available for prospective purchasers and collectors at the Oasis website – www.oasisdigitalstudios.com.

“It’s truly exciting and extremely gratifying to be partnered with Liquid Avatar and Oasis! The Apex Comics Group characters have come to life in prose-novels, comic books, trading cards and posters; Avatars, Augmented Reality, and cinematic NFTs will propel these characters to brand new levels!” stated Mariano Nicieza, Apex Comics Group President and creator of Phazer Universe.

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) are digital assets that represent a wide range of unique tangible and intangible items, from art, comic books and collectible sports cards to virtual real estate and even digital sneakers. One of the main benefits of owning a digital collectible versus a physical collectible like a rookie card or a rare-minted coin is that each NFT contains distinguishing information that makes it both distinct from any other NFT and easily verifiable. This makes the creation and circulation of fake collectibles pointless because each item can be traced back to the original issuer.

ABOUT THE PHAZER UNIVERSE

This sci-fi action-adventure opus centers around Project: P.H.A.Z.E.R., a highly classified military project, created to study Alpha-Zachyon, a new type of energy and develop defenses against extraterrestrial invasion. Scientist Mark Moreno, head of the project, becomes the victim of a sabotaged experiment that sends him uncontrollably shifting through the time-stream where his altered molecular structure manifests different paranormal powers in every time-period he lands in. Hunted by a shape-shifting alien his daily existence is a fight for survival as he struggles to find a cure and return to the world he’s left behind.

Along the way, he makes unlikely alliances with Blackray, a hybrid humanoid who can breathe underwater, Agent Three Zero, a special-forces operative with a unique armored suit that allows her to detect camouflaged extraterrestrial beings, and the Cosmic Raiders, a quartet of super-powered women.

The Blue Sultan, an insane terrorist with a hidden past is also pursuing the secrets of Alpha-Zachyon energy to further his own ambitions for world domination. His mad schemes threaten to destroy the Earth.

Mark Moreno’s chase through countless time-periods culminates back on his present Earth with a final battle on the frozen wasteland of Antarctica, and the discovery of an ultimate, ancient weapon that could spell the end of mankind.

This is an exciting time for digital collectibles, avatars, digital identity augmented reality and NFTs,” said David Lucatch, CEO “Oasis, together with Liquid Avatar and ImagineAR are spearheading the drive towards immersive experiences integrated with Blockchain technologies.”

The Oasis AR Enhanced NFT experience will be available exclusively through the Liquid Avatar Mobile App, which features the ability to create digital icons that allow users to manage, control and create value from their biometrically verified digital identity, and is available in the Google Play and Apple App Store.
