The urban artist known as Banksy has launched a huge prestige thanks to the quality of his work, but also fed by the mystery that envelops his identity.
A company has paid the successor figure of $ 95,000 for a work by the popular artist, but the surfer is what he likes about it: he took refuge and he retransmitted the process on Twitter.
After this surprising action, a company of blockchain called Injective Protocol y, pese a las appariencias, no act of vandalism was committed without an audio demonstration against the artist.
The company acquired the piece, a serigraphy titled Morons (white), in a beautiful neoyorquina. Según afirman, al quemarla, in a lie to destroy the value of art lo han han hecho es aumentar su valor to convert to a “work of art blockchain”. A digital representation of the piece is now available to be sampled and requested virtually.
To understand this extra reasoning it is necessary to retrieve the NFT concept of “token no fungible”, a special type of “moneda” cryptographic that represents something unique and that, therefore, is not interchangeable by another. An NFT art work consists of both parts: first place, the work in its own right, which can be physical or digital; in second place, a sign digital that represents the work and that too is created by the artist. It is token that the collectors are buying.
¿Por qué, entonces, quemar la obra oarspronklik? The company explains, in order to maintain both parties, the value mainly in the physical space. Eliminate this and keep only the NFT, while the value is transferred to it, ensuring in addition that nadie can alterar the work.
If a concept is taken that is difficult to understand for lovers of traditional art that exemplifies it the new digital herramientas are transforming all the rinses of our Experience as human beings, inclusive, by supuesto, the new art forms.
