Who owns art? Who has access to art? Many people create art, but who can earn a living from it? Who is deemed “an artist”? The digitization of art has forever altered the answers to those questions. Today, anyone with an internet connection can view artwork wherever they are, and they don’t need to physically be in a space to access it. Not only can anyone anywhere view art on a phone or computer screen, but virtual reality is increasingly providing the opportunity to visit galleries and museums, and explore an exhibition from your living room. NFTs are giving artists opportunities to create art and distribute it through online channels, bypassing traditional gatekeepers who for centuries dictated what art is and who has access to it. Blockchain transactions also allow artists to be directly supported by their audience and control their own careers.
