What can new ways of collecting digital art look like in practice?
Across the objkt ecosystem, artists, collectors and curators are already experimenting with different answers.
@kentocards, created by the team behind objkt, brings original digital artworks into physical trading cards that can be collected, exchanged and held, while the corresponding digital artwork can be claimed on-chain.
Artist and photographer @justinaversano approaches collecting from another perspective. Through his nonprofit, @fndzionaversano, he collects works by other artists, including on objkt, creating a model of artists actively collecting and supporting fellow artists.
Tomorrow, @justinaversano joins @kikanicolela, Head Curator at objkt, and artist George Goodwin (@omgidrawedit) for a conversation about New Ways of Collecting Digital Art, moderated by @postanika.
Tune in!
