Reuben Wu
Born in Liverpool in 1975, Reuben Wu is a multi-talented British artist, musician and photographer. Active in music, with the group Ladytron, Reuben embraced photography as a means of documenting life on tour and connecting his childhood fascination with landscapes and outer space.
National Geographic recognised his talent, which featured his image of Stone Henge, illuminated by a fleet of drones to challenge people’s perspectives of places, as their August 2022 cover. The image went on to win ” Online Storytelling Project of the Year ” in the Pictures of the Year International Competition.
Created in April 2022, Fourteenth Century is a collection of 201 still frames from a short film utilising in-camera lighting’s interaction with the rugged American desert landscape. The unique collection, minted on the Ethereum blockchain, evokes the iconic opening scene of Stanley Kubrick’s ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ and reflects Wu’s personal fascination with science fiction.
A percentage of the proceedings from the sale of The Fourteenth Century Series go to a fund focused on investing in blockchain projects that drive innovation, sustainability, and futurism, illustrating Wu’s deep commitment to the sector.
