At the nation's largest blockchain conference "Blockchain Week in Busan 2022 (BWB 2022)" held from the 27th to the 29th, various NFT art-related events such as NFT (non-replaceable token) art exhibitions and auctions caught the attention of the audience.
In particular, a total of 95 works were exhibited at the NFT Art Auction, which lasted throughout the 3rd, and two pieces appeared, including Kim Jung-ki's first NFT works, AstroGIRL and AstroPUS, drawing attention.
The late artist Kim Jung-ki has collaborated with Art Director Lee Gong-oh of the NFT Project CYE team of Art Toy Group NWT over the past two years to complete the collection and release it for the first time through BWB 2022.
Astro Girl and Astropus were sold for 13 million won and 11 million won, respectively, breaking new highs. Buyers are presented with a mock-up along with NFT.
CYE said, "Regardless of the amount, I am grateful that many people seem to have purchased the work to remember Kim Jung-ki and to be a fan."
"In the future, we plan to mint 333 and 222 Astrophers NFTs, respectively, in limited quantities," he said. "We will deliver them to the writer's relatives and colleagues, and the remaining quantities will be minted to the whitelist."
Meanwhile, some pointed out that there still seems to be a gap between the public and the industry's perception of NFT art.
In fact, three NFT works by pop art master Andy Warhol, including Marilyn Monroe, Uncle Sam, and Queen Elizabeth II's portraits, were also presented through the auction, but all of them were auctioned off, causing regret.
In addition, a small number of participants in the auction showed empty seats and more than half of the entries were not selected, indicating that the public could not find a reason to own art works digitally, not in real life.
An industry official who attended the scene said, "If Andy Warhol's actual work was shown and explained the story and meaning of the work, it would have helped the public understand and sympathize with it," adding, "The participants would have been reluctant to buy it because the NFT was simply displayed on the screen."
Auction management said, "There seems to be a difference between the public and the industry's perspective toward NFT art. He said, "I still feel distant from buying works such as paintings digitally, not in real life," adding, "The works of new NFT artists have often been sold." "If we continue to create such opportunities in the future, the public's perception will change," he said.
NFT artist Luria, who was in charge of planning and organizing the NFT Special Hall, which displays the works of 64 NFT artists, hoped that the public's thoughts toward NFT would change positively through the BWB 2022.
"We planned this exhibition to let people know that NFT art is the same work as other art," Luria said. "We hope more people will appreciate and enjoy NFT works."
"NFT tends to be recognized as investment and speculation, and NFT artists seem not to be recognized as artists," he said. "These are also people who want to do art, and I hope they see NFT art as another stem of art."
"Technically, NFT is like a strong fence that protects writers," he added. "It is worth enough just to be able to protect the copyright and ownership of the work through blockchain technology."
