This year, the blockchain platform Tezos will give away 3,200 NFTs at the India Art Fair.
The public will be able to go to the art fair beginning on February 9. At the fair, Tezos will demonstrate a large part of computational art called “Computational Convergence.” The installation will show work by Karthik Dondeti, Pixelkar, Aranya, and Kala that is generative NFT art. Visitors can use their phones to collect NFTs made on the Tezos Blockchain.
“We have kept the collection system simple. The process will be facilitated through a QR code for a 3-step process. The Tezos India team will be onsite to help people build blockchain wallets and aggregate algorithmically generated work. These works can be collected for free until sold, when they will be available in the secondary market via fx(hash) and objkt.com,” Tezos India Art & Culture Head Varun Desai told Business Today.
What does Generative Art on the Blockchain mean?
Generative art on the blockchain is a type of digital art that is made with the aid of algorithms and math and then saved on a blockchain platform. Combining generative art with blockchain technology creates a fresh way for artists to sell their work and for collectors to get unique digital assets. In the case of generative art on the blockchain, the artwork is stored on the blockchain as an NFT. This lets the ownership and authenticity of the artwork be checked and recorded on a decentralized ledger.
During this year’s India Art Fair, Tezos India will have four 8-foot-tall kiosks containing 800 versions of digital generative NFT art from each artist, totaling 3,200 algorithmically generated masterpieces that visitors may view on their cellphones.
A huge infographic about the “History of Computational Art” will also be part of the installation. The goal of the project is to bring more attention to different kinds of art by showing the full range of computational art over the years, with a focus on FX (hash) on the Tezos blockchain.
“Tezos India is also conducting a workshop, Computational Thinking, for artists who want to learn how to apply computational techniques to enhance artistic practice and create more innovative works,” Desai said.
