NFTs and CryptoArt: a revolution
In the second talk of the History of Art and Visual Culture Research Seminar series, Esmay Luck-Hille will explore NFT technology and how a new movement, ‘CryptoArt’, is revolutionising and democratising the art market. She will discuss Cryptoart’s relation to wider cultural shifts where developments in the internet, blockchain technology and the global pandemic have shaped new attitudes and behaviours around digital ownership, identity and communities.
