This TEDx talk offers an introduction to what blockchain is an how creatives might be able to use it. Looking at life in a digital age, one of the roles of art is to help us make sense of the world we live in, to demystify and challenge these technologies that effect our experience and perception.

Always being interested in visual art, contemporary painting and digital arts. I started experimenting how we can use technology within the context of art history. Luckily, my curiosity led me to blockchain very early on and I had this big epiphany! Regarding new possibilities for governance, decentralization and Digital Scarcity.
Since the digital artwork can be put onto the Ethereum network as a token, it shows that we live in an era where we can tokenize anything. This is made possible by using IPFS, Ethereum smart contracts and non-fungible ERC-721 tokens. (e.g. Cryptokitties )
It is important to consider the future implications of this because it already is changing our digital world and how we perceive it.
