Yuxin is my CSM classmate, she currently is working at BCA as a curator.
BCA is a full-category blockchain art NFT platform that integrates blockchain art creation, investment collection and education output. It is centred on MetaOpus and is committed to creating a person Encrypted art ecosystem where everyone can participate.
As following is the summary of our conversation:
BCA
- 30-40 staff members
- Mainly young artist (millerals, and gen Z)
- Top artists: Dabeiyuzhou, Zhiwei Zhang (acution)
- Aiming to develop young artists
Bohan Sun
- Founder of BCA
- The current development of Crypto art is inseparable from the construction of infrastructure
- To cultivate a group of collectors
- The current crypto art auction payment process has a high threshold
- There is still a gap between the current national aesthetic perception level and foreign markets, we need to find ways to participate in this industry with more Chinese or local characteristics
MetaOpus
- 80k+user, 500+ signed artitsts
- Chinese > users from other countries
Reflection
I used to believe that some people criticize that digital art is not “real” art, but who decides what is “real” art? After the conversation with Yuxi, also the study of Bohan, I will first propose that physical art is not real art, real art only exists in digital In the world. In fact, art is art, and it can appear in any form. The reason why art is amazing is that it does not need to be widely admired, it is only created for creation.
BCA is a pioneer organisation in China, it is so lucky for me that being Yuxin’s classmate. She told me a lot of information about the BCA that I couldn’t share here, but it is so important for me to understand more about the Chinese crypto industry.
