What about an AI-algorithm-generated bar?The process: Every participant will be airdropped a unique NFT cocktail in their ETH wallet. When they go to the Bar, they can display their QR Code ETH Address (from their mobile). An automated machine next to the bar will scan the QR Code. The Automate is a Giant Pikachu Designed by Neil Beloufa. Neil is a contemporary artist, mostly known for his video installations and monographic exhibitions. He has received several awards in Contemporary Art (Georges Pompidou National Museum of Modern Art and MoMA).After scanning the code, the machine will play an animation and display the Cocktail Artwork. Participants can redeem the NFT at the bar, and the Barman will mix their cocktail.Each cocktail can be “used” only once. One out of the 2000 NFTs will be an open bar NFT. 

Samot Club Live Paint 

Before ever grabbing a brush, the Argentinian rebel Samot expressed himself with oil and wrenches. He honors these roots by painting cars everywhere he goes, and we are bringing two exotic sport cars for him to work on during both days of the NFC. You will then spot these masterpieces driving around Lisbon, so make sure you don’t miss out on the process.

This epic event will take place in the tropical jungle of Estufa Fria, the greenhouse in the middle of Park Eduard VII (minutes away from NFC Headquarters).
