The Digital Art Market
summary
Claim: NFTs shift who makes and buys art; a Zurich gallery has shown generative and digital work since 2017 and staged the first blockchain show in 2018, exhibiting CryptoPunks physically. Tools: artists use p5.js / openProcessing, smart contracts, IPFS, Temple and MetaMask wallets, Tezos and Ethereum, and verifiable random beacons (ARPA) for mint-time randomness. Metrics and pain points: over 60% of Hic et Nunc artists buy other artists’ work, onboarding can take two hours for collectors, and VR shows in 2020 reach ~400 Oculus visitors — infrastructure and UX still need work.
