Some Of Twitter is making NFTs now, apparently - TechCrunch

In 10x10, every week a leading artist will drop an original, Verisart certified NFT deal with Super, Uncommon beginning on Monday March 1st for a ten-week period. Artists include Shepard Fairey, Random International, Nel Beloufa, Petra Cortright, Jonathan Yeo, Universal Whatever, AES+F, Mark Titchner, Michael Joo and Rob Pruitt. "The opportunity that NFTs give the whole value chain in the art world basically alters the market as we know it.

" Similar to any brand-new market, trust, openness and guard rails are absolutely important. Verisart is ahead of the difficulty that lots of modern artists face offering works online with our blockchain method to credibility and dynamic certification." The 10x10 auction shows the opportunity for range and inclusivity in the NFT area, with participating artists originating from mediums including painting, sculpture, video, installation and street art.

Shepard Fairey, whose well-known body of art includes the 2008 "Hope" picture of Barack Obama found at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, states: "Art has power. I'm interested in using art to raise awareness for the crucial political and social concerns of our time. Power has lots of types and is welcomed or feared depending on who that power benefits, who it oppresses, who it uplifts, and who wields it." The very first work to come to auction on Monday, March 1 is by French-Algerian artist Nel Beloufa.

NFTs supplied a method for Beloufa to link to the physical and digital realms. "The 3 artworks in this exhibit, the 'hosts' of my program, give the visitors suggestions about what they should see. By defining them as NFTs, it verifies their presence on the web on an immaterial level and characterizes them and the topics of the exhibit in an interesting method," discussed Beloufa.

" In the previous year, Super, Rare has experienced record development and profits volume, with over 10 million dollars earned by both artists and collectors," said John Crain, CEO and co-founder of Super, Rare. "It's great to work together with Verisart and the different artists on the platform we developed to break down barriers to gain access to for digital art, all while bringing a collective, imaginative social network for art and expression in which individuals make money, develop an engaged following, and have evidence of ownership and authenticity of digital artworks."
