In two 90-minute sessions, we will dive into the digital realm as the genre of new media has wrapped itself around an exciting collecting technology: NFTs. In the first session, we will explore a brief history of digital art and its transition to the blockchain. We will cover the core values that underpin the current NFT movement, its foundations in cryptocurrency and game economies. In the next session, we will examine different NFT verticals not just in art, but also fashion, gaming and finance, as well as strategies for navigating and collecting within these ecosystems. Finally, we end in a workshop to set up a wallet and best practices for digital asset custody.
