Before the Renaissance, people never see the other side of the world, the church controls the the economy. In Renaissance, Artists and scientists accelerated art and technology. Black Death was a pandemic that changed human history.
We have a similar situation. In Web 3, we see the revolution of science, art, blockchain, Defi, and architecture. When I want to find a new idea to create art, I find the Renaissance public domain images from the Metropolitan Museum of Arts. I reinvented the old image and coined the Trance Utopia series.
