Looking back on life can sometimes feel like a collection of moments woven together by the “right place, right time” phenomenon.
You wouldn’t have met that special person if you didn’t try the new coffee shop that one time. Wouldn’t have landed the job had you not become friends with that seemingly random person at the art opening. Wouldn’t have fallen down the web3 rabbit hole had you not been trapped sitting next to your cousin at Christmas dinner… and so on.
Collectively, we are in the right place at the right time to carve onchain art into history. While digital art may still feel like counter culture, this moment marks the confluence of art coming onchain, early recognition by more traditional players, and the dawn of AI.
What does this mean for us? We are in the right place at the right time to:
Work with artists and platforms to bring the art market onchain.
Work with builders to create onchain tools that empower artists in the early days of AI.
Work with institutions to mark digital art as the next great art movement.
