Tokens of my back catalogue of art work will be generated!

in #nftshowroom4 years ago

This is my first foray into Token-based art work. I studied a Masters Degree in Visual Art and Design at the University of South Australia over the course of five years. Through that time, I produced an enormous body of work while specialising in Digital Art (or as the university called it, "New Media") and photography.

I produced work that ranged from pictorial to abstract - and exhibited some work at graduate shows and a few independent exhibitions. There were no sales to collectors at these exhibitions, and through moving house several times all physical manifestations of art work were destroyed, lost, or - as I don't regret (As this is digital art) - corporeal copies destroyed.

The first piece I've released is "Equus", but I will be tokenising other works, including video work and other moving picture that acted as experimental forays into the moving image. I will go into much further depth about these as I explore my archives and revisit the thoughts and emotions I was feeling at the time of creating the work.

While creating these tokens, I am wondering what the impacts are to the art collecting world in a traditional sense, and especially in the unique environment of something like COVID-19 - where gallery shows and physical work are reduced in scale, size, and sadly, patronage.

Sort:  

I am so familiar with lost art stories (disappeared at some point during moves, parents/partners/housemates throwing stuff out, workplaces stealing sketchbooks, hard drive crashes, people just deleting stuff when hard drive space used to be an issue etc) that I often wonder just how big "bodies of work" done by any given individual would collectively be had no one ever had to lose or get rid of anything XD

Yay for tokenising stuff :D How much have you got to go? :O

Lots. There's some milestone pieces that I can reflect on that sort of define my journey as an art practitioner.
