Day 1 - Wed June 2, 2021

How do you make money from XR and Digital art? Are NFTs the worst thing to happen since the internet? Pyramid scheme or not, the cryptoart space has seen a significant boom in 2021 along with a massive backlash against cryptocurrencies and NFT artists due to environmental and other reasons.

Join global artists and developers in this 2 part panel discussion focused around digital artists traversing money making avenues, new creative economies and the NFT phenomenon; the good, bad and the ugly, with particular attention on the environmental impact of blockchains.

The first hour will be focused on the Digital/XR art economy with Michelle Brown, Sutu Eats Flies, Jose Andres, Estella Tse and Manu Vision.

In the second hour, Rafael (from Tezos NFT marketplace Hic Et Nunc) and MOON HMZ plus others will join the panel to talk specifically around NFTs, from the basics of getting started, to concerns over energy impact and inefficient smart contracts and how artists from outside the Western ecosystem have been engaging with art on the blockchain.
