The life work of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of “Star Trek,” will be meticulously captured and catalogued in a new digital archive from leading tech company Otoy.
The multimedia Roddenberry Archive will produce everything from holographic and digital renderings of the famous Starship Enterprise vessel to TV and movie sets. The effort will be formally announced at the annual Star Trek convention Creation in Las Vegas this Friday, by the Roddenberry estate and artists Denise and Mike Okuda, Doug Drexler and Daren Dochterman.
The project will include key texts and documents from Roddenberry’s career, as well as images, blueprints and models. The archive will span the flagship “Star Trek” series, original films, and subsequent spinoffs. The immediate benefit of the archive will be the ability to generate NFTs from the collection for Trek diehards, as well as offer the public life-sized hologram installations that promise to be “indistinguishable from reality” via Light Field Lab.

Otoy, a technology company specializing in cloud graphics, has added digital artist Beeple to its advisory board.
In enlisting Beeple, Otoy — which already counts director J.J. Abrams, Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt and JavaScript creator Brendan Eich as board members — hopes to pave the future of digital content, including NFTs.
Few understand the confounding world as well as Beeple, whose real name is Mike Winkelmann. He helped spark the Nft, or non-fungible token, craze after he sold a photo collage titled “Everyday: The First 5,000 Days” for $69 million at auction house Christie’s in March.
Beeple referred to his decision to join Otoy’s advisory board as “a longtime partnership made formal.” He says the company’s technology has been “integral” to his work creating NFTs and plans to use his seat to continue expanding the digital art space.
As part of the collaboration, Beeple is working with Rndr,...

Comic book Alex Ross, a longtime collaborator of Marvel and DC Comics, has announced plans to unveil his first painting series as a non-fungible token.
Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, have become a wildly popular digital trend, one that allows for the sale of digital content that doesn’t have a tangible form. Nft technology allows collectors to purchase and store digital works, tracked with blockchain technology, while ensuring artists retain recurring royalties.
Ross’ series, backed by technology company Otoy, is titled “Shooting Up the Mainstream” and serves as a permanent digital archive of the artist’s lifetime of work.
Created in 2000, “Shooting Up the Mainstream” was the first Ross painting to portray his own original superhero universe, which he has been developing as a follow-up to his involvement with Marvel and DC Comics.
