🎨Curation

Curatorial Thesis

We believe art that is foundational, innovative, and made possible by this new medium is more likely to retain value in the long run due to its uniqueness and substance. These attributes render them inimitable and irreplaceable, qualities present in all art that has stood the test of time.

When people look back to the genesis of the NFT art market, specific collections will stand out as groundbreaking for making innovative use of the blockchain for artistic expression. These are the works we intend to collect.

These make use mainly of NFT technology’s commercial advantages, drawing limited artistic influence from other novel aspects of the technology.

Curation System

The Curation Committee, elected by the Fingerprints community, oversees all acquisitions. Artworks are assessed by the Committee according to a framework composed of four categories. The work must exhibit at least one of these qualifications in either form or concept:

This framework reflects our belief that art is essential for helping us understand blockchain’s growing importance in the world.
