Full Story
It is a hell of an idea from a person with a hell of a final title.
Edward Zipco (eh?) desires to do to artwork exhibitions what Jezabella Davies* (creator of the digital billboard) did for the billboard trade.
*that is a lie, we could not discover who created the digital billboard, so we simply made up a reputation.
In any case, Eddie Z has a plan to increase his bodily NFT galleries to 50 places all over the world.
Bodily NFT galleries ain’t new – however the thought of making a a worldwide community of unified galleries is.
This manner, exhibitions can seamlessly journey between international locations within the blink of a watch. That means, Zipco’s ‘Superchief Galleries’ might rotate an exhibition’s location month-to-month/weekly – hell, even day by day if the demand was there.
Here is why we love this idea:
-
On-line experiences do not hit the identical as in-person experiences – this bridges that divide for NFT artists and their audiences.
-
Context goes a good distance within the artwork world! Keep in mind again in 2019 when a banana was duct-taped to a wall and sold for $120k? (Was it ridiculous? AB.SO.LUTELY. However that is not the purpose we’re making an attempt to make). What we’re getting at is: it was seen as a respectable murals as a result of it was taped to a gallery wall. Find it irresistible or hate it, the context legitimized it! Hopefully a worldwide community of NFT galleries can do one thing related for digital works.
-
Lastly, do you know that artwork transport/storage is a ~$20B p/y international trade?? …these prices go to (close to) zero as soon as digital shows come into play.
So, godspeed, Eddie.
Godspeed.
