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.
