NFT is a trend in 2021 and a little bit complicated to understand.
A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique and non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a blockchain, and now the most popular way to use NFT is to buy or sell digital arts.
Blockchain technology gives the NFT verified public proof of ownership of each item, and the easily-copied digital arts can protect their uniqueness.
Maybe you have heard some people, even though they are amateur, have sold their artworks at a very high price on the NFT market. It is quite a new and trend market, so it seems bubble phenomenon.
Actually, most of the artworks on the NFT market are childish and over-estimated.
NY_ has been working as a contemporary artist and creating commercial videos, animations, or movies.
And now he is producing NFT artworks.
In this exhibition, we can not only see NY_’s media arts but actually pick them in our hands at the venue. His digital media arts are in beautiful material frames.
However, his digital media art is data, so you can change the art size whatever you want. The art could be projected on the big screen over a wall or shown on a small smartphone.
Most of the NFT arts are digital and seen in the virtual area. It is hard to feel the reality of possession of the artworks. On the other hand, we can touch the art and feel their weight in this exhibition. The stronger impression we can receive about NFT art.
Moreover, the venue, miraiteiban kenkyusha is placed in an old and traditional Japanese house.
The mix of authentic Japanese culture, NT_’s sophisticated artworks, and the newest art style perfectly match. It might be the latest style of Tokyo.
The artist, NY_ would be at the venue, so this exhibit is a chance to talk with a talented Japanese artist.
