On December 10, at the 2021 T-EDGE Global Innovation Conference co-hosted by Titanium Media Group, Daxing Production promotion center and national new media industry base, Titanium Media, Chainde and Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business jointly held the Meta-Universe Summit. Yang Ga, a well-known curator of crypto art, gave a speech on the theme of "Metacosmic Art".
He said that the NFT couples vivid art and seemingly cold blockchain technology in a creative way, empowering each other, not only inspiring art forms to produce more diversified possibilities, but also prompting art to target a sea of stars called the "metacosm".
At the same time, Yang Ga believes that in the future, in the NFT world, after the collection, performance art and conceptual art are cast through cryptographic art means, they will collide with the concept of metaverse; in the metaverse world, real-time, gameplay and interactivity can be realized, which will stimulate more possibilities for the extension of traditional art to the metaverse.
The title I share today is "Art into the Metacosm". What is the Art Metacosm? The NFT couples vivid art and seemingly cold blockchain technology in a creative way, empowering each other, not only inspiring art forms to create more diversified possibilities, but also prompting art to aim at a sea of stars called the "metacosm". What kind of innovation will the metacosm bring to art and even experience? How will the attributes of artistic assets be interpreted and applied in the new field of the metaverse? How does art interact with other elements of the metacosm with value connections and functions? What kind of ecological picture will art present in the metaverse? The answer to these questions lies in "Art and the Metacosm".
The germination of crypto art is an iconic practice. Crypto artist Beeple's auction, the head agency is its strong endorsement, but also the Internet trading platform for the NFT crypto art to give social level pricing, so that these works from virtual to the public vision.
The difference between crypto art and traditional art lies in the way it is made and presented. The production method here refers to two categories, one is called native encryption art, and the other is called non-native encryption art. The tools and theories of native crypto art are digital tools, such as art generated by cameras, cameras, and computers, or AI. Non-native encryption art is the use of traditional oil painting, plate painting and other physical tools to create art, the way of creation is physical creation, we mainly talk about native encryption art here.
Native encryption art with digital basic tools to store hard disks, the use of computers, digital cameras for creation, after the birth of digital art, based on the application of blockchain technology mature, through smart contracts, can be generated on the blockchain to generate a complete digital file casting, determine its uniqueness and authenticity; with ERC-721, these arts on the blockchain can be traced and tampered with, can determine the only true and credible file, this file on the IPFS, Perfectly frame and lock the things in the digital world within the credibility range, for digital art can not be grasped, can not be touched, the future can go to storage, to collect.
Since the advent of NFT, various crypto art creators have emerged on the NFT trading platform. One is the pure art of crypto art creators, most of them are artists engaged in contemporary traditional art, senior work is artistic workers, in this category, digital creation-based artists are the original foundation. Another category is performance art and concepts. Most of them are collected by art museums and institutions, it is difficult for individual players to collect in a palpable way and media materials, performance art if recorded with digital technology, converted with digital technology, in the future, in the NFT world, collectibles, performance art and conceptual art will collide with the concept of metaverse after casting through cryptographic art means; and in the metaverse world, real-time, gameplay and interactivity can be realized, stimulating more possibilities for the extension of traditional art to the metacosm.
Another crypto art creator is a programmer. Everyone knows that cryptopunk avatars are mostly classified and synthesized in the form of AI generation. The encryption art produced in this way is now more recognized by everyone, because the avatar itself has very important symbols and images of Internet social media, and in some cases represents the identity of the socializer.
There is also a kind of crypto creators are designers, including graphic 3D designers, who were originally engaged in various development, industrial design, film and television design, animation design and other work, and now they take their unique IP to sell.
3D modelers are called "construction migrant workers" in this process, and the "construction migrant workers" in the image world are a very large team. In addition, with the rise of the second dimension, there are more and more illustrators, metaverse crypto art to find their own best way to present, compared to traditional art, crypto art has one more way of presenting in the virtual world, the core of this way of presentation is to bring about changes in trading methods, changes in social ways and changes in art circulation, because art circulation and trading methods, changes in creation methods will bring more new possibilities to the original art creation.
Metaverse crypto art is presented in a virtual form, making art museums, comprehensive art galleries, and even art education and art discussions more visible and interesting. Since the underlying layer is built on the value ecology, there will be many innovations in the future meta-universe trading and offline trading methods.
The exhibition mode and curatorial mode of crypto art in the metaverse will change, the virtual world will be more diverse, the virtual and real world digital twins, and the enhancement of online and offline exhibition interaction will be more and more, let us look forward to the arrival of the art metaverse in the future meta-universe era, thank you!
