Art in the Age of Blockchain

October 14, 2020

The possibilities of presenting contemporary art through digital technologies have multiplied in recent years. Particularly through the pandemic, programming and exhibitions have migrated online, breaking down barriers for public appreciation. Out of necessity, putting arts engagement at the core of all programming will effect long term transformations in discourse and knowledge building.

Within this broader shift, the specific technology of blockchain offers the extraordinary opportunity of simultaneously elevating and democratizing art’s reception and public engagement by dismantling hierarchies and decentralizing the art world.
