The Books of Ye is the first ever conceptual art NFT. It is the sequel to The Book of Yeezus, a coffee-table print of Genesis exploring modern religiosity, in which each instance of God was replaced with Kanye. The Book of Yeezus was a 2015 viral internet phenomenon, covered in many languages and sold worldwide by the thousands.
The Books of Ye offers a new gospel: Those who make believe make reality. It consists of five NFTs each corresponding to one of the five Book of Moses, each exquisitely crafted by an anonymous collective of over a dozen award-winning 2D, 3D, and audio artists and programmers (whose past clients include Prada, Adidas, Dior, NASA…)
Owners of a 1 of 1 Book enjoy access to an unique AR experience and a first-of-its-kind private viewing room where they can access their manuscript, accompanied by a foreword elaborating on the concept; exquisite full-color illustrations depicting notable scenes from their Book; and an original “bardcore” soundtrack.
In anticipation of the launch of the Books, the team has also produced 1,000 Cards depicting notable scenes in the Books. These are being released in a series of five sales beginning February 22nd.
The Pre-Sale goes live at 1pm ET, and the Sale for the general public at 7pm.
