Podcasts about everydays the first

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is joined by Tim Schneider, founder of The Gray Market, to explore his much-anticipated annual art market predictions. Known for his sharp insights and bold forecasts, Tim shares highlights from his newly published 2025 predictions, diving into topics that are shaping the art world. Together, they discuss the potential sale of Frieze to Ari Emanuel, the possibility of Beeple's Everydays: The First 5000 Days returning to the market, and the growing presence of high-end gallery pop-ups in Saudi Arabia. Tim also addresses the unsettling rise of deepfake technology and its implications for the art market. In addition, Tim reveals a brand-new prediction exclusively for this episode and reflects on his recent transition of The Gray Market to Substack.

De kunstwereld werd in 2021 opgeschud toen het werk van Beeple genaamd EVERYDAYS: THE FIRST 5000 DAYS werd geveild. Onverwachts leverde dit kunstwerk namelijk 69 miljoen dollar op. Daarmee werd Beeple plotseling een van de rijkste nog levende kunstenaars ooit. Deze NFT heeft tot vandaag de dag het record van duurste digitale kunstwerk ooit. Nu zijn de ogen gericht op een nieuwe veiling, op 22 augustus veilt Sotheby's een NFT van Beeple genaamd MOTHER OF EVOLUTION. Dit werk heeft hij in 2022 gemaakt in samenwerking met Madonna. Het werk werd toen verkocht voor 72 Ethereum, dat was toen ongeveer 144.000 dollar waard. De grote vraag is nu: gaat het werk meer opleveren dan twee jaar geleden? Wat zegt de prijs van dit kunstwerk over de NFT-markt in het algemeen? Over de betekenis van dit kunstwerk is ook nog niet het laatste woord gezegd.  Rational Root sluit deze week aan voor de prijsanalyse van Bitcoin. De schrik lijkt een beetje uit de markt na de renteverhoging van Japan. Ziet de toekomst van de Bitcoinmarkt er nu weer rooskleuriger uit? Verder kwam het nieuws naar buiten dat banken als Goldman Sachs en Morgan Stanley voor miljoenen aan Bitcoin ETFs hebben gekocht. Waarom reageert de BTC-prijs niet op dit nieuws?  Google wordt aangeklaagd omdat ze frauduleuze crypto apps niet snel genoeg van hun play store zouden verwijderen. Er is een nieuwe zaak in Amerika gestart door Maria Vaca. Zij is zelf slachtoffer geworden van zo'n frauduleuze app genaamd Yobit Pro. Ze dacht te beleggen in crypto op een normaal handelsplatform, maar in de praktijk was ze al het geld wat ze overmaakte direct kwijt. Met een geïnvesteerd bedrag van 5 miljoen dollar is het verlies groot. Moeten grote techbedrijven meer actie ondernemen om deze vorm van oplichting tegen te gaan? In hoeverre kun je uitgaan van persoonlijke verantwoordelijkheid?  Gasten Wouter Hoes Links De veiling van Sotheby's De rechtszaak tegen Google Host Herbert Blankesteijn Redactie Wouter HoesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of 92NY Talks, join Mike Winkelmann, A.K.A. Beeple, the creator of Everydays: The First 5000 Days, the purely digital artwork that sold at Christie's for nearly $70 million in 2021. He sits down with investor and collector Glenn Fuhrman for a fascinating discussion on how digital tools, NFTs, the blockchain and crypto are influencing the way art is created — and sold. The conversation was recorded on May 4, 2022 in front of a live audience at The 92nd Street Y, New York.

피카소와 NFT - 신화인가 버블인가 # 디지털 세계에서 오리지널은 가능할까 ‘ctrl+c, ctrl+v', 와 로 해석되는 컴퓨터 명령어다. 이 간단한 기능으로 디지털 세상은 더 풍요로워졌고, 우리는 그 편리함으로 문서, 사진, 음악 등 많은 것을 함께 나누며 즐기고 있다. 이렇게 무한 복제와 나눔이 가능한 디지털 세상에선, 사실 유일무이(唯一無二)하다는 개념이 자리 잡기 어렵다. 나도 가지고 있고, 당신도 가지고 있는 그것은, 둘 사이에 아무런 차이가 없기 때문이다. 그런데... 이런 생각에 균열을 내는 사건이 발생했다. 디지털 세상에도 무엇과도 대체 불가능한 오리지널이 가능하다는 개념이 등장한 것이다. 누군가는 가지고 있지만, 반대로 누군가는 가지지 못하는 ‘희소성'을 발생시킨 기술, 그것은 대체 불가능한 토큰이라는 의미를 가진 ‘NFT'(Non-fungible Token) 기술이다. # 디지털 그림 하나가 140억 2021년 6월, 런던 소더비 경매에서 라는 디지털 그림이 약 1,170만 달러, 원화로는 약 140억 원이라는 금액에 낙찰됐다. 진귀한 유물, 미술품, 명품 등이 거래되는 소더비 경매에서, 어떻게 물리적 형체가 있는 작품도 아닌, 디지털 기술로 만들어져 쉽게 무한 복사도 가능한 그림이 이렇게 높은 가격에 거래되었던 걸까. 그것은 바로 NFT 기술을 통해 마법처럼 이 그림이 가치를 가지게 되었기 때문이었다. NFT 기술은 가상화폐에 쓰이는 블록체인 기술을 이용해 디지털 콘텐츠에 대체 불가능한 유일한 디지털 정보를 갖게 만드는 기술이다. 누가 소유하게 되건 블록체인상에 소유권, 판매 이력 등 마치 부동산 등기부등본처럼 고유한 정보가 저장되고, 말 그대로 해당 콘텐츠는 대체 불가능한 디지털 토큰이 된다. 디지털 세상에서의 창작물들이 어떤 것이 원본이고 어떤 것이 사본인지 그에 대한 어떤 증빙을 할 수 있는 방법이 여태까지는 전혀 없었어요. 최초 NFT의 가능성은 그런 디지털 소유 증명의 가능성을 본 거예요 - 박수용 교수(서강대 컴퓨터공학과) 인터뷰 중 - 언뜻 보기에 특별할 것 없어 보이는 ‘외계인 초상화'는 2017년 NFT의 원조라 불리는 ‘크립토펑크(Cryptopunks)' 프로젝트를 통해 탄생했다. 크립토펑크 프로젝트는 NFT 기술을 적용해 머리모양, 피부색, 장신구가 각기 다른 다양한 사람 모양의 캐릭터 10,000개를 만들어 배포했다. 이 NFT 캐릭터들은 유명인들이 자신의 SNS 프로필 등으로 사용하면서 유명세를 탔고, 딱 10,000개만 존재한다는 희소성, ‘최초의 NFT'라는 역사성 등이 인정되며 사람들의 폭발적 관심을 받았다. 그 결과, 소더비 경매에 등장할 정도로 그 가치가 상승한 것이다. 기이한 현상을 만들어내고 있는 NFT. NFT란 도대체 무엇이며, 그 가치는 무엇일까 # NFT가 불러일으킨 욕망과 머니게임 크립토펑크는 그 시작이었고, 이후 많은 NFT가 출현했다. NFT를 통해 디지털 세계에만 존재하는 그림이 거장들의 실제 작품보다 높은 가격인 한화 약 785억 원에 팔리기도 했다. 디지털 아티스트 비플(본명:마이크 윈켈만)의 이라는 작품이 그 주인공이었다. 우리가 가치를 부여하는 거예요 모든 사람이 갖길 원하면, 그건 가치를 가지게 되는 거죠. 명품이 그런 것처럼... - 디지털 아티스트 마이크 윈켈만 - 상황이 이렇다 보니 디지털 콘텐츠뿐만 아니라 실제 예술품들이 NFT로 변신하기 시작했다. 블록체인 회사 인젝티브프로토콜은 현대미술을 대표하는 작가인 뱅크시의 작품을 NFT로 변환해 경매에 내놓았는데, 놀라운 건 진짜 그림을 불태웠다는 사실이다. 가상과 실물이 병존할 경우 작품의 가치가 실물에 종속되지만, 실물을 없애면 NFT 그림이 대체 불가의 진품이 된다는 이유에서였다. 60만 원으로 시작했는데, 지금 가격이 400만 원 넘어가는 상태고요 저는 NFT 5~6개 정도 구매했는데 지금 한 2천만 원 정도 값어치가 돼버린 거죠 - NFT 상품 구매자 - NFT가 이렇듯 부를 창출할 수 있다는 인식이 퍼지게 되자, 작년부터 NFT 열풍이 일기 시작했다. 가상화폐 열풍 때처럼 일확천금을 꿈꾸며 NFT 머니게임에 뛰어드는 사람들도 늘어났고, 기업들도 예외는 아니었다. 2021년 NFT 시장의 전 세계 거래액은 176억 달러(약 21조 6천억원)였는데, 이는 전년 대비 215배 성장한 수치였다. 올해 들어서는 한 달 거래액이 7조가 넘는 경우도 있었다. 이런 분위기에서 국내에서도 한 회사가 거장 피카소와 앤디 워홀의 그림 38점을 구매한 후, NFT 사업을 계획했다가 분쟁에 휩싸인 사건이 있었다. NFT를 둘러싸고 우리 사회엔 어떤 일들이 일어나고 있는 것일까 # 신기술인가, 신기루인가 디지털 세상 곳곳에서는 오늘도 각종 NFT 민팅(새로운 NFT를 최초로 배정하거나 판매하는 행위)이 이뤄지고, 어떤 이들은 NFT를 하나라도 더 얻고자 이 민팅에 참여하고 있다. 또한, NFT 생태계는 단순히 예술과 상품 분야를 넘어 메타버스 세계까지 이어지며 NFT 부동산 분양까지 이어지고 있다. 제작진은 NFT와 관련해 다양한 사람들을 만났다. 다니던 직장을 그만두고 전업으로 NFT 투자를 시작한 사람, 자신의 작품을 NFT로 만들어 수익을 낸 초등학생, 그리고 NFT를 위해 실제 자신의 작품을 불태운 화가까지... 돈을 번 사람도, 돈을 잃은 사람도 공존하는 NFT의 세계. 이들이 생각하는 NFT란 과연 무엇일까. 그리고, 전문가들이 분석하는 NFT의 미래는 어떤 모습일까. NFT라는 기차가 문을 활짝 열고 달려오는데... 얘도 타고, 쟤도 타고... 고개를 돌려보니 사람들이 또 타네.. NFT에 대한 메커니즘을 모르면서도, 나만 도태되는 거 아닌가... - NFT 사업 관계자 - 이번 주 ‘피카소와 NFT ？ 신화인가 버블인가' 편에서는 전 세계적으로 관심을 끌고 있는 NFT란 무엇인지 살펴보는 한편, 사람들이 적지 않은 돈을 소비하며 왜 이토록 NFT에 열광하는지 그 이유를 추적하고, NFT와 관련해 우리 사회가 고민해야 할 지점은 없는지 살펴보고자 한다. 방송 일자 2022. 05. 21.

First coined in Neal Stephenson's 1992 science fiction novel “Snow Crash,” the metaverse is more or less defined as a virtual world (or worlds), reminiscent of games and films like "Ready Player One," Roblox and Fortnite. Inside this space, people can live vicariously through their avatars by trading and maintaining digital assets that center around a fully functioning real-world economy.What are NFTs? NFT Market Surpassed $40 Billion in 2021, New Estimate Shows. “Everydays: The First 5,000 Days,” sold for a staggering $69.3 million. That price made Beeple the third-most valuable living artist at auction after Jeff Koons and David Hockney.NFT Queen Asia, also known as Hanis Harmiles, a Metaverse Advocate and NFT Strategist is here to empower and educate everyone about the importance of Web3.

A market in which the assets coveted by investors for use as profile pictures or digital avatars are branded as Crypto-Punks, members of the Bored Ape Yacht or Kennel Club, or as Pudgy Penguins, is redolent of the Pokemon card craze of the 1990s. As it happens, the popularity of these Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collections with gameified nomenclatures has sparked a rediscovery of Pokemon cards, which are enjoying a nostalgia boom. That incidental side-impact is not a surprising one, because the scale of the NFT market is increasingly hard to ignore. In 2021 investors sank at least US$44.2 billion into NFTs, according to Chainalysis. Transaction volumes, total value invested and average transaction size all rose sharply by comparison with 2020. The blockchain data platform bases its estimate on the amount of crypto-currency sent to the ERC-721 and ERC-1155 contracts, the two types of Ethereum smart contract associated with NFT marketplaces and collections.NFT marketplaces offer art, collectibles, videos, music and sportsThe fact that most NFTs are built on Ethereum is a major factor behind the surging transaction costs (“gas fees”) on Ethereum, and the associated interest in the low-to-zero transaction cost alternative of the Solana blockchain protocol. Most of the purchases made are intermediated by a newish breed of commission-based NFT marketplaces of which the biggest, OpenSea, is also built on Ethereum. The NFT marketplaces are akin to crypto-currency exchanges such as Coinbase but minus the custody function (unlike the crypto-currency exchanges, most NFT marketplaces expect investors to own and operate their own digital wallet) and plus (in the case of the most successful NFT marketplaces) a genuinely decentralised model. OpenSea, which currently lists more than 6,000 NFT collections, is the generalist option. Other NFT marketplaces (such as art marketplace Nifty Gateway, which is owned by cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, a parentage that enables provision of a custody service) focus on niches.The NFTs available are not confined to unique digital collectibles such as Bored Apes (there are only 10,000 available) or Pudgy Penguins (8,888). Fine art, videos, music and physical objects are also available as NFTs. Artist Damien Hirst has sold 9,000 of 10,000 unique, hand-painted, dot-covered works on paper at a price of US$2,000 each. He has given buyers 12 months to decide if they wish to take ownership of the physical work or own the NFT instead. If they choose the NFT, the physical work will be destroyed. Secondary market trades have raised the total market value of the Hirst collection to more than US$500 million. The traditional art auctioneers, whose nose for anything that smells of money is as finely tuned as the most shameless investment bank, have moved into the market. Christie's made US$150 million from NFT sales in 2021 (US$69.3 million of it from Everydays: The First 5,000 Days, a digital art collage by artist Mike Winklelmann, better known as Beeple). Sotheby's made US$100 million from NFT sales in 2021, including from sales of Bored Apes.Among the topics to be discussed at this webinar are:Who invented NFTs?What explains the recent growth of the NFT markets?How can NFTs best be categorised?What are the sources of value of an NFT?What are the links between blockchain, crypto-currencies, tokenisation and DeFI?Find out more at: https://futureoffinance.biz/2022/02/02/the-good-reasons-and-the-bad-for-taking-nfts-seriously/ Hosted on Acast.

Last year was one of the hottest years on record for the planet; it was also the hottest year for NFTs or non-fungible tokens. A digital artwork titled “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” by digital artist Mike Winkelmann, also known as Beeple, sold for $69 million at Christie's. It was the first NFT that an internationally renowned auction house had ever sold and that single sale produced 8.7 MWh of energy.

Sway Podcast Notes Key Takeaways NFTs are digital proof of ownership and are still in their nascent stage.The market is definitely a bubble and most art will go to zeroBeeple intends to portray the weirdness of tech and its unintended consequencesRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgFrom Snoop Dogg to Melania Trump, it seems like everyone has gotten into the NFT craze in the last year, with billions of dollars worth of sales made in 2021. NFTs may be colloquial now, but the craze really picked up almost a year ago, when an artist named Michael Winkelmann (also known as Beeple) sold his work, “EVERYDAYS: THE FIRST 5000 DAYS,” for a whopping $69 million — the third-highest auction price involving a living artist, after Jeff Koons and David Hockney.So this week, Kara is revisiting her March 2021 conversation with Beeple. They talk about whether his virtual collage, which stitches together 5,000 images (including lactating humanoid breasts and Buzz Lightyear with a bloodied chain saw) is actually worth $69 million, how he grapples with the environmental impact of crypto minting, and how NFTs will change how we buy and flaunt digital ownership.You can find transcripts (posted midday) and more information for all episodes at nytimes.com/sway, and you can find Kara on Twitter @karaswisher.

Hey everyone. It's almost 2022. With that in mind I wanted to release a special episode of the podcast covering the top crypto stories for 2021. What I did was look at the top stories from all the major crypto platforms as well as Google Trends. I then selected 5 positive and 5 negative stories. Have to keep it real after all.  This episode was recorded on December 28th  2021. 2021 was a crazy year, so much going on in the world.

2022 was another big year in the art scene. Gallery openings got canceled, digital viewings had to continue to suffice, and NFT's exploded on to the market. It was really Beeple's collage work, Everydays: The First 5000 Days, sold via Christie's for $69 US million that got everyone stirred up. That was March. Since then, the NFT/crypto market has been a rollercoaster ride. And I'll be honest, it still seems like something pretty foreign to me and probably a lot of artists I know and have spoken to. However, Saatchi Art are looking to change that. My last guest of the season is Monty Preston. Monty is a manager of Art Advisory and Curation at Saatchi Art. Monty is part of a team working with artists and collectors to help them make the leap into the NFT space.

Just a few months ago, most of us had never heard of an NFT. Even once we figured out what they were, it seemed like maybe they'd be a short-lived fad, a distraction for the tech-savvy to funnel money into as the pandemic dragged on. But it seems NFTs are here to stay. The internet has exploded with digital artwork that's being bought and sold like crazy; in the third quarter of this year, trading volume of NFTs hit $10.67 billion, a more than 700-percent increase from the second quarter. Last month, both Coinbase and Sotheby's announced plans to launch NFT marketplaces. As a quick refresher in case you, like me, still don't totally get it: NFT stands for non-fungible token, and it's a digital certificate that represents ownership of a digital asset. The certificates are one-of-a-kind (that's the non-fungible part), are verified by and stored on a blockchain, and allow digital assets to be transferred or sold. Depending who you ask, NFTs were a thing as early as 2013 or 2014—but they didn't really hit headlines until earlier this year, when artists like Grimes and Beeple sold their digital creations for millions of dollars. Soon everyone from Jack Dorsey to George Church to the NBA started jumping on the NFT bandwagon. And you've probably heard about the bizarre phenomenon that is the Bored Ape Yacht Club. This is just the beginning of an ever-growing list of artists, celebrities, crypto-enthusiasts, and others who are betting NFTs are the future of collectible art. Re-enter Beeple, the American artist (whose given name is Mike Winkelmann) whose collage of 5,000 pieces of digital art, titled Everydays: The First 5000 Days, sold for $69 million in a Christie's auction in March. Another piece of his sold this week, and though it went for less than half what Everydays did, it's bringing a whole new twist to the NFT art world. The new work, titled Human One, is a life-sized 3D video sculpture, and Winkelmann called it “the first portrait of a human born in the metaverse.” It shows a person in silver clothing and boots, wearing a backpack and a helmet (which is something of a cross between that of an astronaut and a motorcyclist) trekking purposefully across a changing landscape. It was purchased for $29 million at Christie's 21st Century Evening Sale on Tuesday by Ryan Zurrer, a Swiss venture capitalist. introducing HUMAN ONE beeple (@beeple) October 28, 2021 The piece is a box whose four walls are video screens, with a computer at its base. It's over seven feet tall and can be viewed from any angle. But its key feature is the fact that it will be continuously updated, supposedly for the rest of Winkelmann's life. “I want to make something that people can continue to come back to and find new meaning in. And the meaning will continue to evolve,” he said. “That to me is super-exciting. It feels like I now have this whole other canvas.” The artist plans to change the imagery that appears in the box regularly. It will be sort of like having one of those digital photo frames, except instead of family and friends on a small, flat screen, who-knows-what will appear in 3D and larger than life. If some of the images in Everydays are any indication, Zurrer may end up seeing some pretty striking political commentary in his living room, or office, or wherever he chooses to keep Human One. “You could come downstairs in the morning and the piece looks one way,” Winkelmann said. “Then you come home from work, and it looks another way.” However, he won't be changing the piece according to any sort of schedule, but rather as the fancy strikes him—and, he noted, in response to current events. If Zurrer chooses to keep the piece in his home or another private location, that would establish a sort of artistic intimacy between him and Winkelmann, with Zurrer being privy to the artist's ideas and creativity in real time. Though Human One was doubtless an expensive and highly complex project, it's likely just the beginning of a whole new type of “l...

Mikkel Malmberg har tjent 165.000 kroner på et NFT-kunstværk. Han har to lignende værker liggende, men dem holder han på. For de kan blive mange penge værd. Den digitale kunstner Beeple satte tilbage i marts sit værk “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” til salg. Værket er en collage bestående af 5.000 digitale billeder - et billede for hver dag i 5.000 dage. Det blev solgt som en NFT for godt 430 millioner kroner til to Singapore-baserede samlere. Nu står spørgsmålet tilbage. Hvordan bliver DU rig på det her internetfænomen?

This past March, he cemented his place 'among the top three most valuable living artists' after his collage of JPEGs, 'Everydays: The First 5000 Days,' sold as a non-fungible token (NFT) at Christie's auction house for $69 million. Before this sale, he typically sold prints for an average of $100 each. Artists are finding a new market for their work with NFTs, and some are even experiencing life-changing financial freedom.https://www.kitco.com/news/2021-09-12/Is-gold-dead-Bitcoin-price-to-hit-levels-we-cannot-imagine-Ronald-Peter-Stoeferle.htmlIs gold dead?

Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs as they are known, have been around since 2017. But they suddenly went mainstream this year, attracting the attention of both crypto-currency traders and general investors. The sale of a tokenised digital art work titled ‘Everydays – The First 5000 Days' by an artist called Beeple, for $69 million, appears to have unleashed an ‘NFT bubble', with some analysts comparing to the ‘Tulip bubble' of the 17th century. Are NFTs primarily a digital art-related phenomenon – a way to trade digital art and other digital collectibles? Or will they have a wider impact in the offline world as well, extending to domains such as music, fintech, and real estate? We demystify NFTs in this episode of In Focus with Dr Merav Ozair. Dr Ozair is a FinTech Faculty member at Rutgers Business School. She is a data scientist, a quant strategist, and a Crypto/Blockchain expert.

In March, one digital art creation titled: "Everydays: The First 5000 Days" by artist Beeple, sold for a groundbreaking $69.3 million.

Você já deve ter ouvido falar sobre a NFT, principalmente depois do leilão realizado pela casa de leilões britânica Christie's, onde a obra "Everydays: The First 5000 Days" desenvolvida pelo artista Beeple, foi vendida por 69 milhões de dólares. NFT em português significa token não substituível, ou seja ele é único. É um novo criptoativo assim como a bitcoin. Ele promete revolucionar o mundo da propaganda, mas o seu impacto no mundo da arte e cultura é imensurável. A moeda funciona quase como um cartório digital, protegendo o artista/criador e seus compradores, de acordo com o brasileiro Rafael Kilng, PhD em tecnologias disruptivas esta é a forma mais segura e rentável de criar e comercializar itens colecionáveis, oferecendo força e independência para os artistas. O disco "When You See Yourself" do Kings of Leon foi o primeiro albúm a ser comercializado com NFT e já arrecadou 10 milhões de reais na plataforma. A banda ofereceu 3 opções de tokens, um deles te garante acesso VIP vitalício aos shows da banda. NFT é impossível de ser falsificado e atua em multiplataformas, reviveu o mercado de cards colecionáveis até a NBA entrou no jogo. Quer saber mais? Aperte o play!

On March 11, the digital artist Beeple sold his “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” collage in a Christie's online auction for $69.3 million. Its buyer didn't receive anything to display on a wall. Instead he received a NFT, a “non-fungible token.” NFTs are essentially a certificate of ownership, recorded on the blockchain, for a digital asset that is seemingly just a Google search away for the rest of us. On today's Brainstorm, hosts Michal Lev-Ram and Brian O'Keefe probe the profitable, perplexing world of NFTs with the help of Fortune's Robert Hackett. He explains how NFTs create scarcity in the infinite digital environment of the internet.  Noah Davis, a specialist in Post-War and Contemporary Art at Christie's, recounts the beguiling auction for Beeple's work, and describes what's in store for the future of NFT art.   Finally, Caty Tedman, the Head of Partnerships at Dapper Labs discusses the company's collaboration on NBA Top Shot, a digital sports collectibles marketplace which has seen sky-rocketing growth since its launch only five months ago.   

69 milioner dollars eller 430 milioner kroner. Så mange penge blev et digitalt kunstværk solgt for på Christies Auktionshus d. 11. marts. Kunstneren hedder Beeple og værket var faktisk en samling af en masse digitale kunstværker, som han har lavet over de sidste 13 år. Det har titlen "Everydays: The First 5000 days”. Det er den tredje højeste auktionspris for et værk af en nulevende kunstner nogensinde - kun overgået af Jeff Koons og David Hockney. Men modsat et Hockney maleri eller en Koons skulptur, så var det der blev solgt denne gang bare en fil, en meget stor jpg. Og fordi den er digital kan den kopieres fuldstændig 1:1 - og er blevet det, den findes stadig på nettet og sikkert alle mulige andre steder - ikke bare som reproduktion eller gengivelse, men præcis det samme digitale billede. Så hvis man ikke køber rettighederne og eksklusiviteten - men bare en digital kopi - HVORFOR vil man så betale 70 mio dollars for det? Handler det bare om at man kan sige at man ejer det? Eller er det ren spekulation?Nogen mener at NFT'er er fremtiden for den digitale kunstverden - en måde at betale direkte til kunstnerne og at hæve værdien af digital kunst. Andre at det er ren spekulation og i øvrigt en unødvendig klimabelastning. Det er ikke let at forstå hvad NFT'er præcis er eller hvilken betydning de har for kunsten - men jeg vil over den næste time forsøge at redde ud og finde overblik. Marie Høst skal tale med medstifter af Crypto-Women CPH, Julia Evelyn Larsen, med digital kunstner og kreative coder Andreas Refsgaard - og med medstifter af den digitale udstillingsplatform Radar Contemporary, Ida Kvetny.

Na edição de hoje (também disponível em vídeo), André Franco e Vitor Perim falam sobre a explosão do mercado artístico dos tokens não fungíveis (NFTs) — ativos exclusivos. Na última semana, a coleção “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” do artista digital Beeple foi vendida por US$ 69 milhões, tornando-se a terceira obra mais cara da História vendida por um artista vivo. Outra grande febre desse mercado são os CryptoPunks, imagens artísticas de 24×24 pixels geradas por um algoritmo. Nifty Gateway, Rarible e OpenSea são algumas das plataformas mais famosas desse mercado. Tudo o que envolve criatividade — arte, música, jogos, esportes etc. — pode se beneficiar desse grande mercado, garantindo exclusividade para os “verdadeiros fãs” de um artista. Axie Infinity (AXS) e NBA Top Shot são dois dos projetos mais populares no mercado de NFTs. Entenda mais o que são NFTs na edição #53, o que são jogos blockchains na edição #66 e entenda quais são os casos de usos desses tokens exclusivos. Quanto você pagaria por uma obra de arte exclusiva?

The audio version of the ArtsUndone Blog. erin-schwartz.com Recently, Christie's auction house sold a piece of digital artwork by Beeple (Mike Winkelmann) for over $69 million. The interesting thing about the work, entitled EVERYDAYS: THE FIRST 5000 DAYS, beyond its aesthetic and mode of production, for me, is that the item sold is not a physical manifestation of the piece, nor is it “merely” a high-resolution digital file. The work was an NFT, or Non-Fungible Token. What are the ramifications of this on the art market and future of art production? In this article, the host, Dr. Erin Schwartz addresses issues of commodity and authenticity in light of news ways of trading art.

Beeple（1981年生 ）《每一天：前5000天》，非同质化代币(jpg)，21,069 x 21,069像素（319,168,313位元组），2021年2月16日作，底价：100 美元，成交价：6934.6万美元你会花4.5亿购买一件虚拟艺术品吗？北京时间3月11日晚上11点，佳士得网上拍卖首次呈现的以NFT形式拍卖的纯数码艺术品《每一天：前5000天》（Everydays: The First 5000 Days）以6025万美元落槌，6934.6万美元成交（约合人民币4.5亿），这一价格也轻松刷新虚拟艺术品拍卖成交价记录。作为艺术圈最热的话题， NFT，即非同质化代币受到前所未有的关注。然而即便如此，4.5亿元的虚拟艺术品仍旧刷爆了艺术圈，业界人士纷纷感叹看不懂！这次创造天价虚拟拍品的并非传统意义上的“艺术家”，以艺名Beeple示人的作者迈克·温科尔曼，自2013年起每日创作作品，并以此为马赛克集合，特别之处是这幅作品本身以NFT，即非同质化代币形式存储，这是一种基于区块链技术的真实性数字证书。与市场更加熟悉的同质化虚拟货币相比，NFT为互联网时代独特性数字资产的确权和交易提供了显而易见的便利。据此，有人认为这次拍卖结果是在为以艺术为生的从业者敲响警钟；有人则认为是NFT概念“出圈”引来的热钱追捧，与艺术本身无关。那么我们究竟该如何看待这件虚拟艺术品拍出天价的事件呢？艺海藏家邀请到拍卖界资深人士、中央财经大学拍卖研究中心研究员季涛先生，为您深度解读。

Hey everyone!Literally a couple of minutes ago this work of art by Beeple just sold for $69,346,250.Yes, SIXTY NINE MILLION DOLLARS.Don’t believe me? Here’s the link to the auction -> https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/beeple-first-5000-days/beeple-b-1981-1/112924Admittedly, the artwork is incredible. Here’s the description straight from Christies auction house…In May 2007, the digital artist known as Beeple set out to create and post a new work of art online every day. He hasn’t missed a day since, creating a new digital picture every day for 5,000 days straight. Individually known as EVERYDAYS, collectively, the pieces form the core of EVERYDAYS: THE FIRST 5000 DAYS, one of the most unique bodies of work to emerge in the history of digital art.That’s pretty amazing, a work of art that quite literally took 14+ years to create… some of the detail in them is absolutely bonkers as well. And it get’s crazier, still.This work is sold as an NFT. For those that haven’t seen the NFT craze stirring the internet, an NFT stands for NON FUNGIBLE TOKEN. Whatever that means, right?Basically it utilizes BLOCKCHAIN technology, similar technology that underpins BITCOIN, to VERIFY and assign OWNERSHIP to digital goods. Here’s what Christies said about this particular 69 million dollar NFT…The recent introduction of Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and blockchain technology has enabled collectors and artists alike to verify the rightful owner and authenticity of digital artworks. EVERYDAYS: THE FIRST 5000 DAYS will be delivered directly from Beeple to the buyer, accompanied by a unique NFT encrypted with the artist’s unforgeable signature and uniquely identified on the blockchain. MakersPlace, a digital marketplace, has issued the NFT for the piece.So, the question of the day is, would you pay $69,346,250 for a piece of art that ONLY exists in the digital world?Obviously I’m sure they will send the buyer a PRINT of the artwork, but again, this might make your head hurt….Anyone can get a PRINT of it….Even crazier..The PRINT, HANGING IN THE OWNER’S HOUSE, isn’t the ORIGINAL!The original ONLY exists online, on the blockchain. Just like the Mona Lisa ORIGINAL only exists in the Louvre in Paris…I know, trust me, this hurts my brain too. Here is what I’m taking away from it.1) New technology will ALWAYS warp your brain. Just like cars warped horse Owner’s brains back in the day, this is warping my brain right now. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT WON’T BE THE STANDARD AND LAUGHABLE THAT WE FOUND IT CONFUSING.2) Scarcity is quite literally FLYING OFF THE SHELVES. Anything that is scarce.BitcoinSmall BusinessesReal Estateand, yes, 69 million dollar digital artIf you aren’t invested in scarce ASSETS you are going to get crushed and I honestly feel bad for anyone who doesn’t know this information. 3) Just because you think it’s dumb doesn’t mean it isn’t valuable. I’ve heard so many intellectually lazy people call new technology “dumb” or a “fad” or a “scam” that if I had a dollar for every time they’ve said it… I’d be a bazillionaire.It isn’t dumb. The next 10 years and the rest of this century for that matter, will be DEFINED by crazy technologies like this that by definition will seem CRAZY to us and NORMAL within a few years. That’s just how it works. If you plan on being alive for the next decade you should probably just remove the word “dumb” from your vocabulary and start trying to understand what REALLY drives value in this day and age. Anyway, that’s what I’ve got for today, what do you guys think about Beeple?Crap? Amazing? Worth the money?Let me know in the comments and share this with someone if you want to blow their mind today.69,346,250. Wow.
