Digital collectibles, known as NFTs, will be on display alongside iconic celebrities and the top 1% of buyers connecting collectors to emerging and highly sought-after digital artwork. Visit the Sagamore for a series of large-scale public NFT artworks and congregations. Organized with the frame of Miami Art Week, the initiative to educate and transform how art is distributed using technology is brought to you by BitBasel.
Florida, US, 25th Nov 2021, ZEXPRWIRE, This year’s rendition of Miami Art Week will be unlike any other. The accelerating tech ecosystem is taking over the city and turning Miami Art week into Miami Art x Tech week. Specifically, the cryptocurrency industry is paramount in making this year’s Miami Art(Tech) Week a revolutionary showing of digital art. At the pinnacle of both of these world’s is the emergence of NFTs or non-fungible tokens, which have taken the world by storm in 2021 with brands such as the NBA and celebrities like Snoop Dogg hopping on board.
Miami Art Week provides a unique opportunity to showcase digital art as a top contender for creators to monetize and distribute their content amongst traditional channels.
By creating a one-of-a-kind token, the certificate of ownership cannot be duplicated, thus guaranteeing the authenticity of the work. NFTs can ensure that artists get compensated for the reselling of their work, meaning they benefit if it goes up in value, not just the buyer. Markets are being transformed by transactions that no longer require trust in layers of middlemen and overcome counterfeiting.
Standing at the forefront of the movement is local Miami start-up BitBasel, which prides itself on being Miami’s Original CryptoArt Community. December 5th marks the one-year anniversary of BitBasel’s first event held in Wynwood that brought together top leaders in the NFT space (virtually) to discuss and innovate on how technology is revolutionizing the way media is distributed and completely changes the rules of ownership. BitBasel returns to Miami Art Week for a week-long VIP event series in partnership with BridgingTheGap Ventures hosted at the Sagamore Hotel.
Winners of BitBasel’s CryptoArt Hackathon in partnership with BridgingTheGap Ventures—whose mission is to alleviate barriers of participation and provide accessible skill enrichment to emerging talent on a global scale—will be on display 24/7 amidst panel discussions and poolside events. Together, BitBasel and BridgingTheGap’s goal is to sell $11,000,000 of NFTs for impact and youth empowerment.
