Art and blockchain

This event explores the growing impact of blockchain technology across the art market. We will look at how it is being used to verify authenticity and trace provenance, creating tamper-proof records that could transform the way works are bought, sold, and insured. We will consider what it means for art-making itself, as artists experiment with new digital formats and embed conditions such as resale royalties directly into their work. And we will examine how collecting is evolving, as ownership, value, and access take on new forms in an increasingly digital marketplace.
