Overview
About the course
Digital ownership and digital consumption find their roots already in the narratives of our everyday lives. This Platonian immaterial world doesn’t seem to be so distant anymore, as our identities become increasingly manifested through our digital existence and ownership. Galleries and auctions houses including PACE, Sotheby’s of Christies are already building their NFT platforms. Last year, the market irresistibly exploded with $41 billion worth of cryptocurrencies being spent on NFT marketplaces, not too far nearing sales of fine art and antiques that generated $65B in 2021.
This Blockchain Art and NFTs short course at the University of the Arts London (UAL) will bring you closer to the underlying blockchain technology, smart contracts, and non-fungible tokens. This will cover digital collectibles, generative art, art on-chain and crypto art. You will be expected to prepare for classes with provided readings, and additional outside of class is highly encouraged.
