A Journey into ihe NFT Space – A New Chapter in the Future of Art History

Art Slave, United States of America
 
The art world has entered a new era that has been gathering steam since 2017, finally gaining the attention of the general public in 2021: the non-fungible token (or NFT). Beginning with the rise of NFT themed conversations on the Clubhouse app and culminating with the first ever Christie’s auction of an NFT artwork (by the digital artist Beeple) on Feb. 16, 2021. Now on April 15, cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has become a publicly traded company on the stock exchange.
What does this all mean for the post-pandemic art world? This panel discussion with experts in digital art, computer technology, art curation, and technology-driven art museums will reveal the digital transformation taking place in our society and how it affects artists, art history, the art market, and even the possibilities for creation.
