Mad Dog Jones and
VR46 Metaverse join forces for AEROPRISM
The first collaboration between the artist and Mooney VR46 Racing Team on the occasion of Misano Grand Prix 2022.
The project will include four unique physical and digital pieces.
Incision
The perfect corner finding joy in the calmness of a quiet street
Lost & found
You can’t get answers until you find your true self lost in the moment
Nite Owl
Far beyond midnight the perfect moment awaits as time itself stops
Silence
The warm smell of rain flickering reality the future’s on pause
Art meeting Motorsport
From the union between these two worlds the AEROPRISM project is born: a triumphant tribute to Motorsport designed by Ontario-based artist Michah Dowbak, aka Mad Dog Jones, for Mooney VR46 Racing Team, the team owned by Valentino Rossi, the legendary 9-Time Grand Prix motorcycle racing World Champion.
In the beautiful setting of Misano World Circuit “Marco Simoncelli”, on September 4th, AEROPRISM will bring the riders of Mooney-VR46 Racing Team and motorbikes competition to another level, exploring the relationship between speed and light and blurring the boundaries between real and digital world.

Faq
What is an NFT?
NFT stands for ‘Non-fungible token’. It is something unique that can’t be replaced with something else. For example, you can trade a cryptocurrency for another cryptocurrency, whereas a work of art is unique and therefore non-fungible.
An NFT is a digital asset that represents real-world objects such as artwork, music, games, and collections of any kind.
What is a crypto wallet?
A crypto wallet is a secure place where your private key is stored. Think of it as your privately owned address on the internet. NFTs are stored on the decentralized blockchain, and your private key acts as your address from which to send and receive NFTs and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether.
How do I create a wallet?
Go to MetaMask.io and click the “Download” button. You’ll be redirected to the relevant store to download the MetaMask extension if you’re using a browser or the MetaMask app if you’re using your phone or tablet.
Open Google Chrome, Firefox or Brave on your computer and install the MetaMask browser extension.
Or download and install the MetaMask App for iPhone or Android.
Open the app and select “Create Wallet”.
Create a username and password. Important: Make sure you safely record your Secret Recovery Phrase and store it somewhere secret and safe, as this is the only way to recover your wallet if you lose your device, or ever need to install it on another computer.
