David Sheldrick, B’ak'tun | Sheldrick x Paax, 2024

David Sheldrick

B’ak'tun | Sheldrick x Paax, 2024
1/1 Unique NFT
AI generated video artwork that explores the rich mythology of the Maya civilization. Centered on the concept of the B’ak'tun from their ancient Long Count calendar, each cycle spans approximately 394 years and encompasses creation, transformation, and renewal. The Maya believed that each cycle concluded with powerful forces of destruction—fire, storms, and floods—that paved the way for new beginnings. B’ak’tun draws a parallel to our current era facing the impending global issues that tie us all together, and how artificial intelligence represents a transformative force leading us into the next cycle of human experience.
