Deep Dive: Traditional Art Transition To Web3

Decentral Lens

This episode delves into art, specifically focusing on street artists The London Police's entry into the web3 space. The hosts, Chicago and Disco, discuss Disco's personal connection with The London Police as a collector of their art and his eagerness for their web3 involvement. They critique the launch's potential shortcomings due to minting on VeVe instead of platforms like Bitcoin Ordinals or Ethereum NFTs, highlighting their frustrations interfacing with VeVe and the KYC requirements and non-transferable ownership on VeVe.

The conversation shifts to the broader implications of NFT collecting, debating the future of digital art and the potential dilution of decentralization principles in favor of hybrid user experiences. They emphasize the importance of guiding traditional artists in their digital transition, citing successes like Beeple, Damien Hirst, and Murakami.
The episode also underscores the value of self-storage for collectors and the exploration of diverse digital art platforms. Chicago shares his experience with Stranger Things NFTs on Candy during the show's latest release, while Disco offers insights from his journey as a new NFT collector.
