Digital art is bridging the gap between traditional and NFT art spaces, creating new opportunities for artists and collectors.

Key quotes

"Having art look at on a screen, it might click in their mind that I'm looking at a screen and they might think about that instead of thinking about the art."
"Every painting that leaves the studio will be registered on the blockchain so the artists get royalties."
"Average holding period of an NFT was 30 days, average holding period for a physical artwork is 30 years."
"Meaning for the right collector matters, and it doesn't need to overachieve, it just needs to connect with the art."
"A very small percentage of digital art compared to traditional paintings in terms of transaction value. Paintings are by far the number one medium followed by photographs and then digital art."

Otherworld started with a concept of a physical exhibition revolving around texture studies but pivoted to a collection of 12 pieces focused on the tragic side of the Human Condition.
The narrative of the collection progressed from familiar aesthetics to more chaotic and abstract elements, highlighting the dark themes of the Human Condition.

The physical instantiation of digital art pieces, like in Otherworld's collection, offers a more familiar and powerful experience for viewers.
Utilizing physical manifestations alongside digital art can help reach a broader audience and engage traditional art collectors more effectively.

The future of art NFTs lies in bridging the gap between digital and traditional art spaces, bringing in existing collectors and establishing art in traditional institutions.
Every painting leaving the studio may be registered on the blockchain to ensure artist royalties and streamline provenance, potentially cutting out intermediaries like galleries.
