Art is having a renaissance – digital art that is. And this renaissance is being led by non-fungible tokens, aka NFTs. These forms of non-replicable digital assets with a market that surpassed $40 billion in 2021 are disrupting traditional art-market dynamics. NFTs are sold and traded using cryptocurrency and are inherently secure because of the decentralized nature of blockchains, which they’re stored on. And blockchains are an integral part of Web3 and the metaverse.
Coinciding with NFT.NYC, Samsung kicked off our own 837/NEXT event series that brought together the NFT community to discuss the future of the NFTs and the Web3 experience. But how exactly are NFTs and Web3 reshaping the art experience? Will they pave the way for a new creator-forward model? And can the emerging industry leave behind the complex legacy of the traditional art world by fostering greater diversity and inclusion? For this special episode of ‘Innovation Without Boundaries,’ Samsung goes behind the scenes to unpack the thought-provoking takeaways directly from a heavy-hitting roster of NFT experts.
