About The Course
The Upward Trend: NFTs and On-Chain Art is an introductory course designed for those who are interested to learn about the background and history of crypto art, and are keen to navigate the concept of NFTs, the technology that underlies them and the ecosystems they propel.
During the course, our instructors from NFT Asia will provide an overview of the basic terminologies that surround NFTs, blockchain and Web 3.0. They will also spotlight the relationship between NFTs and contemporary art discourses, as well as its interactions and intersections with broader art communities, such as through Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs).
As a participant, you will examine case studies, recent writings on the technology and engage in group discussions. By exploring different considerations to utilising NFTs which include minting, displaying and community building you will gain insights into the future of NFTs and its potential impact on the roles of artists, creatives, museums, galleries and the art business at large.
