Fixed Question Session

Q1

Jay:Hello Jidong, thank you very much for being a guest in the Cortex community. Next, let’s start with the first question: As we all know, NFT appears in many fields, such as game art identification, etc. Why do you think NFT can develop so fast in various fields?

A few Dong:From the perspective of the segmented field of encryption art, the combination of encryption technology and art has shown strong vitality and room for development. It has added a parallel world besides traditional physical art. At present, there are many outstanding overseas works including China. Artists join in. NFT can not only realize the disintermediation of art transactions, solve the contradiction between art dissemination and ownership, but also realize the interaction between artists and collectors, which greatly conforms to the psychology of young people’s collection, and at the same time protects the copyright of artists. Equity, and secondly, NFT is more suitable for preservation, transfer and circulation than physical artwork.

Q2

Jay:Is art at any time your slogan? What does this slogan want to convey to people?

A few Dong:If you are familiar with the history of Chinese art, it is not difficult to find that this sentence actually has its source. This is an ordinary painting postscript by Shi Tao, a famous painter in the Qing Dynasty. The full text is "The pen and ink should change with the times, just like the style of poetry and prose. The ancient paintings are simple and light, just like the sentences of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties..." Regarding this postscript, the current "pen and ink should change with the times" "The explanation is actually incorrect, it is a preconceived explanation based on the literal meaning. Shi Tao's original intention is: the painting is gradually thinner from the simple and light in the ancient times to the majestic and magnificent in the middle ages. The word "Dang" in "Brush and ink should be at any time" should also be pronounced tǎng, which means "if". In this case, the first two sentences of the postscript are: If the brush and ink follow the times, it is like the change of the poetry and prose style... All doubts will disappear. Here, Cryptoart's proposition that "art should be with the times" is no longer "if" (tǎng), but the meaning of what should be. We look at this issue from the perspective of the development of art history. The process of human art has developed in five stages, namely: primitive art (from primitive society to the ancient Greek era), classical art (from the ancient Greek era to the 1860s), modern art (from the 1860s to after World War II), postmodern art ( Post World War II to 1980s), Contemporary Art (1980s to 2020). It is clear that a new era has come, and we are all witnesses. There is a joke saying: "An artist who is obsessed with classical art can't live without mobile phones and WIFI." The hottest art in every era has always set up its pioneering banner with "innovation" and "interpretation of the era". . From Duchamp's urinal to Tracey Emin's bed, they all break through the original boundaries in the audience's mind to explore emerging discoveries and practices. When various display screens become an inseparable medium for human beings to open their eyes and close their eyes before going to sleep, the digital art based on this medium is truly the pioneer art that cannot be ignored in this era. The emergence of NFT brings the most pioneering art to this era. The art has the attribute of scarcity. Since then, an unprecedented feast in the history of art has opened. This is Cryptoart-"Art should be with the times".

Q3

Jay:What is the mission of CryptoArt.Ai, and what is the original intention of establishing CryptoArt.Ai?

A few Dong:The slogan of CryptoArt.Ai is "art should be at any time". Our mission is to empower art with blockchain technology, solve the scarcity of digital art, explore the possibility of interaction between contemporary art and digital media, and join the emerging global Experimental blockchain art movement trend. The original intention of establishing CryptoArt.Ai is to use blockchain technology to solve the pain points in the traditional art field. With a decentralized governance model, a new encrypted art world with equal rights will be established for artists and collectors, so that talented artists, regardless of background Regardless of dignity, they can all get their due value in return.

Q1

Community users:From your point of view, what does encryption + art mean to you? What is the difference between him and the traditional cryptocurrency industry?

A few Dong:Encryption + art, for me, has completely entered a new parallel universe, because its appearance does not cut a piece of cake in the traditional art market, but adds a huge cake to the market out of thin air. Moreover, with technological innovation, many pain points and problems in the traditional art market have been solved, making new media digital art collections that were originally traded at a low frequency appear in front of the general public. Since entering the 21st century, the creators of new media digital art More and more, however, collectors and galleries are hesitant because of the ease of reproduction of these works, because they value the value of "orphan copies", making new media digital art always on the edge of the collection market, and the emergence of encrypted artworks, perfect It endows digital artworks with the same scarcity problem as physical artworks, and solves the "orphan" value that collectors value most. Moreover, the most painful problems of physical artworks such as authenticity and orderly circulation are all based on blockchain technology. Traceability and confirmation of rights have been solved, which makes encrypted art a new art star with the most investment value. Compared with the venture capital cryptocurrency industry, encrypted art is more inclined to the attributes of art. NFT is just a carrier and has no Therefore, the investment logic of encrypted art is very different from that of encrypted currency. Investing in encrypted art is not like investing in encrypted currency. It has a certain investment cycle like traditional art investment, and there must be an investment threshold for collectors. Yes, your artistic literacy, vision, and patience all determine your final income from investing in encrypted art.

Q2

Community users:In your opinion, what role do artists play in the blockchain society?

A few Dong:The most notable characteristic of artists in the blockchain society is that they have broken away from the world where the traditional art field is monopolized by art oligarchy, and come to a new world, where there is no distinction of origin, as long as you have enough talent, You will be able to be seen equally by collectors and critics, and encrypted artists will become creators of artistic wealth in the blockchain world. In the field of traditional art, once an artist's work is sold, it has nothing to do with the artist. But in the blockchain world, artists can permanently enjoy commissions for recirculation of works, which is undoubtedly unprecedentedly attractive to artists!

Q3

Community users:What do you think about the future of NFT and crypto art?

A few Dong:2020 can be said to be the first year of encrypted art. This year, the performance of the NFT encrypted art market indicates that this market is about to enter a rapid growth channel. On December 7, the encrypted artist PAK just won the world's first honor of trading over one million US dollars , 5 days later, another large-scale auction held by Beeple, another great encrypted artist, broke the record created by PAK in just one day, pushing the enthusiasm of the NFT encrypted art market to another climax. On December 12, Beeple The auction officially started, and within five minutes, the turnover reached 582,000 U.S. dollars, and the cumulative turnover on that day exceeded 1.1 million U.S. dollars. Beeple sold a total of 824 NFT artworks with a total value of approximately US$6.4 million, ranking first among all encrypted artists. However, this is just the beginning. I believe that in the near future, we will witness the history of encrypted art creation together, and everyone here will see the first encrypted art work worth more than one million or tens of millions of dollars.

Q4

Community users:Can you name a few popular crypto artists and how do you know them?

A few Dong:Beeple, PAK, Song Ting, etc. Before encryption art, Beeple was a master of daily digital works. He had seen his surreal portfolio a long time ago. This time he became the world's top encryption with a total transaction value of about 6.4 million US dollars. artist. Pak is an encryption artist I have been paying attention to. He is now cooperating with us. Song Ting can be said to be a preacher of encryption art in China. I learned a lot of knowledge about encryption art from teacher Song Ting’s courses. Song Ting’s The works are also the leading and pioneering works of art in China.

Q5

Community users:I personally believe that art should be accompanied by value and mobility, yet people take it for granted, what do you think?

A few Dong:Art must be accompanied by value and liquidity, and encrypted art completely subverts the cognition of traditional physical art in terms of liquidity. Traditional artwork, liquidity has always been a pain point for art collections, but in the field of encrypted art, art The liquidity of encrypted works will be higher than that of traditional art, and the rise of millennial collectors will bring unprecedented liquidity to encrypted art.
