From the organizers:

In the past year, blockchain technology has pervaded the art world, and many panels and symposia have explored the application of blockchain technologies to the sale of artworks. The distributed ledger structure of the blockchain offers compelling use cases in provenance and authentication, while potentially disrupting (or complementing) existing norms around privacy or opacity of information. This panel explores the impact of blockchain from an artist’s point of view, especially in light of digital-native artworks. Despite the newness of blockchain’s adoption in the arts, in fact efforts by artists to initiate contracts and to participate in markets have a longer history.

Panelists:

– Kevin McCoy, Associate Professor, NYU, and co-founder of Monegraph
– Abraham Milano, Chief Technology Officer of Dada.NYC
– Angela Redai, Vice-President of Art Strategy for Portion.io and art attorney
– Lauren van Haaften-Schick, PhD Candidate, History of Art and Visual Studies, Cornell University, and DLI Doctoral Fellow, Cornell Tech
— Amy Whitaker, Assistant Professor, NYU (moderator)

Organized by the Art Finance Society.
