Lightning Fields: Blockchains, NFTs, and the Future of Digital Arts Practice
DescriptionNon-fungible tokens and blockchain technologies represent just a few of the contemporary technologies that are radically reshaping digital arts practice, curation, and exchange. This session offers critical, philosophical, and practical perspectives of the current digital arts landscape, including NFTs, blockchains, and the current state of digital arts provenance, exchange, and commerce. Presentations and discussion will center upon the practicalities, possibilities, and consequences of such technologies in a rapidly transforming media arts landscape.
