NFTs: A New Medium for Art & Content
NFTs are a new medium of communication, and I love empowering creatives in the peer-to-peer #techartrenaissance! I have been educating, onboarding and advising in blockchain, DLT, and token economies since 2019, working with a wide range of professionals across many industries and disciplines.
I started making digital art in 2020 as a creative outlet, and used minting NFTs as a new ‘work hobby’ that would keep me fluent with the technology.
A past career in the newspaper industry impressed the importance of a “publisher” position in the media world, and I began to examine the move from printing presses to minting machines. I experimented on a number of platforms for minting, buying & selling NFTs, from rarible, to makersplace, SolSea and OpenSea (never did get that approval from Foundation!)
NFTs
I have provided a mix of NFT project strategy, business development & Web3 messaging including:
NFT roadmap and promotion for audio NFT (on Ethereum) with unlockable content (IPFS)
The “Phygital Learners” program with the Salvation Army of Saratoga Springs, NY that teaches adults, volunteers and administrators how to create a digital wallets while introducing students to AI creative tools. Their work is minted and transferred to the parents and guardians who then own a digital asset. This three week program ends with ski lessons from Ski With Me
Web3 Marketing/Communications for a 6k generative-mint with digital avatar and 3D printed product
A #phygital NFT auction in NYC that featured a number of prominent Web3 artists and blockchain builders.
Plus some other stuff we could talk about “IRL”
Basically: I have helped brands and communities within the Web3 space with my deep understanding across the spectrum of decentralization enthusiasts, purists, and institutions alike.
I talk about preparing people from all walks of life for a tokenized future, and have been broadcasting my learnings from the distributed world for the better part of a decade. I’ve cohosted and produced industry podcasts and have appeared on a number of media outlets and stages.
