How Can I Invite Chinese Artists into Crypto World?
I decide my early intervention was uploading my stakeholder’s work to hicetnuc.xyz.
Then I searched the tutorials:
Unfortunately, after loads of research and registration, my tests failed due to my Chinese identity. I think it’s related to the newly promulgated law.
It was an exhausting and depressing journey, but I think it’s not only for me, it’s for all Chinese users.
What
My research aims to investigate the potential of raising awareness with Digital Artists in China to build a prosperous community that promotes excellent artwork in the Crypto Art world. So my question How can I bring Chinese artists into the Crypto world.
Why
From the viewpoints of artists, gallerists and collectors, decentralisation and individual control are the emerging themes in the NFT world.
From the commercial point of view, NFT technology greatly reduces transaction costs and friction, making production, trading and storage all happen in the virtual world, and the whole process is smoother and more natural. And the blockchain can change the way we transmit Crypto art and obtain information, thereby affecting the art itself.
Lastly, in my perspective, as an art lover and a digital native, I was trapped in a well-established traditional art industry were fulfilled with sophisticated artists, gallerists and collectors, but Crypto art is an emerging market where I see a lot of potentials forward, and there are so many possibilities to link the digital artists and the crypto world from my vantage point.
How
In my case, it is a challenge for me to reach out to different types of stakeholders. For example, the digital artists who are not involved with Crypto art may have no idea about it yet, then there is a space for me to share the news and ideas to lead a way where they can easily approach it. And for those who believe Crypto art is monetary art and said a no to it, it is important for me to engage with these artists and get their opinions to see what I can deal with. Also, for artists from different levels, for people who manage the tradings, who buy the artworks, and the critics and historians, there might be different ways to get in touch with them, to gain their attention. For now, I will run a social media platform or a website to share the information and invite people to have a talk about Crypto art and to build my own brand that could team up with artists and workers later.
What-If
The Crypto art industry is innocent as a child, which I could tell from the quality of the artworks and art criticisms today. Therefore I would like to integrate the excellent digital artists and the Crypto world and marry the strong point of traditional art with the emerging Crypto industry. There is a necessity to redefine the superior and serious artworks owing to the current monetary scenario of the artwork and making them flow into the art market. In addition, Crypto art only exhibits in the fiction world at present, which I think there should be a physical space for displaying them in museums or galleries. In general, I would like to help Crypto art developing more healthily in the long term, instead of just another tulip manila.

Traditional Chinese Artists
in the Crypto World
Cryptoart is art that uses blockchain technology in its creation and/or distribution.
Tokens represent a transparent, auditable origin and provenance for a piece of digital art.
Crypto art draws its origins from conceptual art: sharing the immaterial and distributive nature of artworks, the tight blending of artworks with currency, and the rejection of conventional art markets and institutions.
