Cube X

Cubex is a Legacy ETH Web3 Gaming Collection in the Confluence Universe. Be sure to only collect the New Era or Pinnacle Collections as OG's have migrated.

The Burn is very likely a stepping stone, builds momentum for the Confluence's Agentic AI Marketplace and the RWA Art Strategy Token by proving demand, refining operations, and reinforcing the "real value" brand, consistent with long-term artist-led, phygital/Web4 messaging.

The Crimson Temple

2048 x 2048 pixel proprietary neural network (coded by Nathaniel Vegh) generation trained on proprietary dataset (images of Matt Vegh's physical artwork at the micro level and Matt Vegh's Temple photography throughout China and Japan)

The Crimson Temple was part of a 70-piece Temples of AI Collection sold by Nathaniel Vegh in both digital and physical formats. It made its debut at the historic Mont St. Clare Cortona Gallery in Clinton Iowa in August of 2020 and then in the summer of 2022 at the 370-Year-Old Yao Wang Temple in downtown Chengdu, where Nathaniel Vegh also exhibited his AI Perpetual Painter and a gamified VR environment featuring his Temples of AI paintings.

It sold on the Chinese owned Metacraft NFT platform (which Nate also coded - triple chain - Binance, MetisDAO and Polygon - in 2020) for $3000 USD on Binance Chain.

“Rebuilding the Tower of Babel”

First-Ever Community-Minted NFT in Web3 History.
Artwork created by Matt Vegh, for and in collaboration with MetisDAO.

Sold for 16.1 ETH (~$51,000 USD at the time) on OpenSea

A True Web3 Pioneer Moment

In April 2021, Matt Vegh helped pioneer one of the most innovative experiments in the early Web3 art world: the world’s first community-minted NFT, “Rebuilding the Tower of Babel,” launched on the Metis Layer 2 chain.

This groundbreaking project brought together hundreds of participants across “Tribes” to collectively mint a single large-scale artwork composed of 256 puzzle pieces. Each piece represented a Tribe’s contribution, and the final unified artwork: with all contributor data permanently minted into it, was auctioned on OpenSea.

Proceeds were shared with the community and the artist. This wasn’t just an NFT drop: it was an early, ambitious experiment in decentralized co-creation on a Layer 2 blockchain, years ahead of its time. It demonstrated how communities could come together across borders and languages to build something meaningful, echoing the biblical Tower of Babel but in reverse: uniting rather than dividing.

Early Leadership in Web3 Experimentation

Matt Vegh, alongside his son Nathaniel Vegh, were deeply involved in the Metis ecosystem and drove significant adoption of the Metis coin through consistent NFT/Metaverse activity such as Nathaniel Vegh's City Lights and Temples of AI Collections and helped prove the real-world utility of Layer 2 infrastructure for artists and collectors at a time when most of the space was still focused on Ethereum mainnet.

This project stands as a historic marker of Matt’s forward-thinking role in the Web3 art movement: blending his established physical art practice with pioneering digital and community-driven innovation.

This piece represents more than a sale: it represents an early vision of collaborative, inclusive, and technically progressive Web3 art that Matt Vegh helped bring into reality. A foundational win in his journey from traditional practice into the blockchain art frontier.

We have to say that @NateVegh's pixel art in the Tenochtitlans collection is genuinely some of the strongest hand-crafted pixel work in Web3.

The clean lines, thoughtful color palettes, excellent shading, and strong silhouettes make them pop even at low resolutions: which is exactly what great pixel art should do.

Quick breakdown of what stands out.

Historical grounding:

You can feel the research. Each character reflects different tiers and classes of Mexica (Aztec) warriors - jaguar/ eagle styles, elite ranks, ceremonial gear, weapon choices, and status symbols.

The details (headdresses, shields, body paint, armor patterns) aren’t random; they pull from codices and archaeological references.

Variety & personality: Every piece has its own mood and environment - jungle green for the crocodile warrior, dramatic golden hour for the Sun Runner figure, bold yellow for the snake motif, etc.

Technical execution: The dithering, limited palette discipline, and readable forms at small sizes are top-tier.

While a lot of projects lean on pure generation or hype, he’s putting in the craft + research + hybrid physical-digital layers that create something with real staying power.

Three 30-NFT Burns for a total of 90 off the charts and converted to real-world art!

Choose from my Canadian Wildlife Discovery Series or my Tenochtitlan Series (like the Aztec Butterfly shown here - which is sold and on its way to Texas).

Only in the Confluence!

Art Strategy Foundation is supported by several international award winning artists, including one of the earliest adopters (pre-AI boom) of the utilization of proprietary neural networks for generating artwork.

@NateVegh built the AI generation tools before that was cool.

🚀Big announcement: The OG Collection "Burn" Program is officially LIVE!

We're rolling out a new way for dedicated holders to turn their OG NFTs into real-world physical art from the Confluence RWA collection.

How the Burn Program Works:

Burn 30 OG Collection NFTs (Any mix from our OG ETH collections: Cubex, Gooniez, Bunny Buddies, Shibas, BC Party Apes or Cyborgs, Meka Apes, Apiens, Chrysalism, Cybonix, Fluffytopia)

Pay the equivalent of $200 USD for shipping & handling to the dev wallet (We’re currently shipping to the US, Canada, UK, and select parts of Europe where we know the costs)

Receive one physical artwork

Choose from the Canada Wildlife Discovery Series (35 x 35 cm) or a Tenochtitlan Butterfly piece (30 x 30 cm)
Unframed (frames shown in photos are for display only)

Physical art will be created (they are heavy impasto oils, so take quite some time to dry) and shipped as soon as possible after your burn is verified.

Special notes:

We already have our first Burn of 30 locked in with a core holder (mix of Cubies, Shibas, Gooniez, Meka Apes & Chrysalism). Big thanks to them for leading the way!

If you’re already scheduled to receive a painting in the future, we will reduce the shipping fee as we can just add it to your existing package.

Any customs, import fees, or duties are the responsibility of the receiver.

We are capping this first round Burn at 30 participants.

You can look up our founder/artist Matt Vegh and ask his 24/7 AI Persona about the artwork at:

This program is part of the Confluence’s long-standing commitment to delivering real value to our holders. As the founder, I’m proud that we’ve already shipped hundreds of original physical artworks to our community valued at over 500k USD: something very few (if any) other Web3 projects can match.

While the broader market has been rough, we continue to focus on tangible benefits and responsible stewardship. Real art. Real shipping. Real delivery.

If you’re a serious OG holder and want to roll up 30 into a beautiful physical piece for your wall, drop a comment or DM the team and we’ll get you sorted.

Let’s keep building something real.

This Big Leaf Floral Abstract is one of only 2 paintings where Matt Vegh used his large format palette knife to create one of the leaves of the impasto floral leaf pattern overlay.

It was created in May of 2019 and sold the day it was completed to a collector in Chengdu.

New #UBots added to my portfolio with The Confluence, @theapiens! Some very nice ones.

One can't really have too many of them! Just saying...

Thanks @mattvegh!

[Assunzio @assunzio_real]

@TheApiens Treating unsold works as valuable feedback instead of clinging to the “discovery myth” is one of the healthiest mindsets an artist can adopt. Reworking or releasing what no longer moves keeps the studio alive, the practice honest, and the work itself stronger and more relevant.
