Abstract:
NFTs are often imagined as the initiators of a democratic revolution in the art world and their advantages for the artists are undeniable, but they also give way to a chaotic art ecosystem. This paper argues that artists need new systems of collaboration to sidestep these negative effects, overviews promising attempts and discusses potential solutions.
