NFT based artworks have exploded since the $69m Beeple splash at Christie’s in March 2021. This has left us all scratching our heads. What are NFTs? What is Crypto? What is The Blockchain? How is that all connected to Bitcoin?
In this class created by Director of Fine Arts at rally.io and head Curator at SHOWFIELDS, Tam Gryn, you will understand what has led us to the Digitalization Movement, what are the practical implications for art, culture, fashion, business, finance, gaming, and beyond. With a focus on the creative community, we will connect the dots between our time spent on social media, the pandemic and 2 years of zoom. We will discuss Bitcoin, Crypto Punks, glorified JPGs and all the myths you have heard within the historical context of art as it reflects our lives.
What you will gain:
By the end you will be a crypto expert, mining your own NFT's and staking your claim in this democratized metaverse!
Please note this course will have both in-person and virtual availability.
