Eyal Gruss [IL] – Art forever be here or NFTs as a Medium (NaaM)
I will discuss NFT as a creative medium (as opposed to a commercial instrument), and unpack some common misconceptions regarding the persistence, availability and immutability of the art behind NFT’s and how such properties can be achieved elsewise. I will compare the Ethereum ecosystem to more ecological and less expensive crypto-chains as Tezos that make on-chain media viable. I will show artworks that challenge the boundaries of the genre from technical and critical perspectives, and discuss social and game theoretic aspects of web3 which they address. I will present a manifesto for eternal media. In the workshop we will create websites that will live forever on the blockchain.
Everyone can freely join @ net.culture club MaMa (Preradovićeva 18, Zagreb).
Bring your computer and a few XTZ (~0.25=1kB) if you can.
