Digital Art Purveyors

I’ve come across numerous instances of #digitalart and #NFT collectors being scammed during trades. While these aren’t my stories to tell, they are upsetting to read and harm the trust and optimism in the industry. Our #escrow service is exactly suited to mitigate these incidents. Email or message me. https://lnkd.in/etQvJwnX

For those who are interested in collecting #digitalart , just a quick heads-up that Jack Kaido has two digital pieces available that were shown at the British Art Fair at the Saatchi Gallery in London, in an exhibition called Pivotal Digitalism, which marked the first time in history a UK art fair has dedicated an entire section to digital art (according to British Art Fair). I have images of the artworks below. If interested, reach out to Jack Kaido or AOTM Gallery.

There’s a very interesting phenomenon in the #digitalart space where people are buying both a digital art #NFT and a print of the same artwork from the artist. This made me think: which one holds the real value—both of them, maybe? Or could one potentially devalue the other? This is just an observation and an opinion of mine. I assume the concept came about because collectors who bought NFTs wanted a way to display and enjoy them, and prints are an accessible medium for the artist to create a physical version of the artwork for the collector to also have. I assume this also ties into the idea of tokenization, where you link an NFT with a real-world asset, though we’ll get to whether this is a good idea later. However, I feel an issue arises: which ends up being more valuable—the NFT or the print? Or both? Personally, I lean towards the idea that both won’t share the same value. Why? Because if you have the digital artwork as both an NFT and a signed print, there would be a natural inclination for the signed print to hold the real value. It would likely be the item your kids would be fighting over, while the NFT might serve more as a certificate of ownership. There’s nothing wrong with this at all—it’s just a matter of preference. But I feel that if the value were retained in the NFT by not creating the signed print, it would keep all the advantages of a digital asset, unlike a signed print. Especially now, with advanced digital #art frames that allow you to beautifully display digital art on your wall (plug: we offer digital art frame retail and custom options with our partners, so do get in touch with us for details). This could reduce the need for prints since the art can be easily displayed digitally. And if you still wanted a print, you can create one from your NFT (we’re happy to arrange this or give recommendations if an artwork is bought through us). The only difference is that it wouldn’t be a signed print from the artist, so the value of the digital artwork would remain with the NFT. Solution It’s a pendulum: you can have both a signed print and NFT, but in this case, the print holds the value while the NFT serves as proof of ownership. Or, you can just have the NFT and use a digital frame to display or create your own prints. In the end, there’s no right or wrong—it’s your preference, but each scenario has different consequences, as mentioned. As the market evolves, we may see new developments and ways of doing things. At the end of the day, these are just observations and an analysis of the current trends in digital art.

Do Digital Art NFTs and Prints Go Hand in Hand? Or Would One Devalue the Other? NFTs and prints can coexist, but the print may hold more value. It's about preference—do you want the NFT's digital advantages or the print's tangibility? https://lnkd.in/gHtwpA8D

Showcasing this very detailed and thought provoking #digitalart work by DVK the artist. Link below to the artwork as well as the artist's story and process. https://lnkd.in/efv_dC4u https://lnkd.in/enTGaPB5 Temporal Threads of Creation - As history of art and technology intertwines, we navigate a realm of constant transformation. This artwork pays homage to our journey since the internet's rise—a visual testament to the interplay of tradition and modernity. A figure cloaked in the elegance of yesteryear sits between epochs. Crowned with VR glasses, she peers into realms unknown, while deeply focused on her laptop, a conduit of contemporary energy. Here, past and present entwine, highlighting our evolution from classical to digital creativity. This piece prompts us to ponder on the fusion of legacy and advancement. It beckons us to question how we weave the threads of history into our ever-evolving narrative, crafting an artistry that transcends time. DVK employs an upscaling method that he developed, utilizing both AI and GAN to breathe new life into the artwork. After the upscaling process, he dedicated numerous hours to meticulously hand-paint intricate details himself.

There's been a lot of chatter lately about whether NFTs are making a comeback. My answer? YES—but not in the way you might expect. People are no longer buying NFTs solely with the hope that their prices will "go to the moon." Recent data points suggest a shift towards purchasing NFTs for the purpose of collecting them. I believe there are two reasons for this change. First, there's a strong sense of community around NFTs, with people wanting to support the ecosystem. Second, we're witnessing a shift in incentives—from quick money gains to genuine collecting. Take Sotheby's Digital Art Day Sale in August 2024, for example, which saw 1,165 unique bids. Additionally, NFT18's report shows that the average holding duration of NFTs is increasing over time, indicating that the market is attracting more collectors. In conclusion, this is an interesting transition to observe as the market evolves and matures. (Click the Link for full article and data sources). https://lnkd.in/ebHFcWv6
