50 among the best Crypto Artists

“CRYPTO ART – Begins” tells of the exciting beginning and evolution of Crypto Art through the history and works of 50 among the best artists in the world, who through their NFTs have contributed to the birth and are still an active part of the present and future of this revolution, including HACKATAO, Refik Anadol, Kevin Abosch, Osinachi, Federico Clapis, Giant Swan, DADA.Art and more.

CHAPTER 1

The Story and evolution of Crypto Art

To tell the story of Crypto Art for The NFT Magazine and interview the artists is art curator Eleonora Brizi, a pioneer of the movement who experienced the great evolution and rise of Crypto Art side by side with the creators, in unsuspected times, before the disruptive descent into the market.

CHAPTER 2

Crypto Art among WEB3, Blockchain and NFT

Today the words NFT, WEB3, Metaverse, and Crypto Art are universally searched, understood, and used by an ever-growing number of people.

What happened is a radical and epochal change that has brought industry players operators – and others too – face to face with a new challenge, today known as the WEB3: for the first time, users can own, create, sell, and exchange goods such as works of art, in fully digital form, in NFT form.

CHAPTER 3

The Crypto Art System

For the first time Andrea Concas theorizes and defines the “Crypto Art System” by which we go beyond technological solutions, identifying its protagonists, along with the dynamics behind this revolution between communities, digital platforms and artists.

CHAPTER 4

History of Crypto Art

When does the history of Crypto Art begin?
Is it already possible to talk about the past of Crypto Art to understand what is happening today?

In this special contribution written by Martin L. Ostachowski, Artist and Historian of Crypto Art, we retrace the salient stages of an artistic movement still in the making

CHAPTER 5

Digital and Crypto Art curation in Web3 and the Metaverse
