Artists: Alessio Pellicoro, Alfonso Briceño, Francesco Pistilli, Iacapo Pasqui, Kai Yokoyama, Luca Santini and Mohamed Hassan, capture intimate and transient moments within the natural world before those that inhabit it, sense they are being watched and change into something completely new

Fine art photography has a greater lease of life with these technological advancements– namely, the ability to value and independently credit works that could previously be screenshotted, or reprinted
Photography is therefore becoming NFTs next big genre, as NFTs naturally fit into the evolution of fine art photography, and its respective valuation: creating new breakthroughs between the intersection of art and technology, benefitting the artist, collector and industry at large

The relationship we have with nature is tumultuous at best– despite once working harmoniously alongside the earth, we have since forgotten the values of this relationship and feel disconnected from where we all came from and where we will all return to

TOP 3 REASONS WHY FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY COLLECTORS SHOULD INVEST IN NFTS

1
Intellectual Ownership  Though often times misunderstood as only being a digital version of an original, in the same way an image download or a screenshot is, NFTs go beyond this
An NFT can be understood as a virtual certificate to prove ownership of a digital asset
This virtual certificate, is traceable, trackable, and one of a kind, unlike a download or a screenshot
The term non-fungible quite literally means, not something you can exchange/break down/mix with other similar goods or assets
Something non-fungible cannot be replicated or broken down and traded into valuable parts in the same way you could do

WHAT DOES MINTING AN NFT MEAN?: WHAT ARE THE ETHICAL & OWNERSHIP IMPLICATIONS FOR ARTIST & COLLECTORS

Minting an NFT, or non-fungible token, is publishing (Authenticating) a unique digital asset on a blockchain so that it can be bought, sold, and traded
Once (art)works have been minted (Signed / Certify), and digital data has been converted into a digital asset, it remains with traceability, on the blockchain
The digital products, or files, that have been minted are stored in this blockchain— distributed ledger or decentralized database— and cannot be edited, modified, or deleted
Thus ensuring the minted file is completely secure and now holds a new level of protection and value, that just being an image (or video)

A WOMAN’S TALE OF SOFT EDGES

What does it mean to be a body amongst other bodies, bodies that are like ours, bodies we came from, and bodies we are separate to? Who exists beyond this separation, before emptied swings and houses, where limbs caress the earth, and a child suckles milk from their mother? Artists Tori Ferenc, Bettina Pittaluga, Snezhana Von Büdingen-Dyba, Myrian Boulos, Laura Stevens, Erinn Springer and Lisa Sorgini explore these intricate themes with equal power as they do with vulnerability
Tori Ferenc’s ‘The Visit’ shows an encounter between three generations, daughter, mother and grandmother
An age old, and sacred trope, that has existed

THE MARKETPLACE: AN ARCHETYPE THAT GROUNDS ALL FUTURE TRADE

The earliest recorded use of the term market in English is in the Anglo- Saxon Chronicle of 963, the phrase was: “Ic wille þæt markete” [“I desire that there will be a market”] There have been, and there will always be, a desire for spaces that facilitate mutually beneficial trade
It is with this very desire– fundamentally rooted in the human pursuit for connection and exchange– that the marketplace was born, and continues to rebirth itself anew
The marketplace, is originally recognized as localized bustling arena of commercial dealings, and regular trade, in basic commodities: livestock, fruit, vegetables, cloth, coal, ceramics, and animal

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN ARTIST IN THE NFT CLIMATE

For many artists to create with unrestrained creativity- is a privilege
Between gallery contracts, the heavy hand of vigilant representation, and cost of production, there is little to no room for artists to freely create
Though they try to seek refuge through idyl escapes in residency programmes, and other lands afar- the seemingly unperturbed creative process is still at the mercy of the middleman
Artists selling works through platforms that allow transparent interaction and minimal intermediary demand, like Uncontaminated- offer up remedies to such restraint
Though all artists pass through rigorous verifications before joining the platform, founders stress the importance
