NFT艺术品：风口还是游戏

Beeple（b.1981）created the artwork "Everydays: The First 5000 Days" as an NFT (jpg) on February 16, 2021. This unique artwork took over 5000 days to create and is a large collage piece. The work gained attention when it was sold at an auction for $69.35 million, making Beeple one of the top contemporary artists in terms of sales.

During the Winter Olympics, a social media platform introduced hundreds of digital snowflake prints created by different artists. By completing specific tasks on the platform, users could obtain a limited edition digital snowflake with a unique number, allowing them to own a piece of artwork. This shift allows high-end artwork, once unattainable and displayed in prestigious museums, to be easily accessible as digital downloads on smartphones and computers, serving as desktop wallpapers or social media posts.

What exactly is an NFT artwork? In March 2021, artist Mike Winkelmann's artwork "Everydays: The First 5000 Days" was sold at Christie's auction house for $69.35 million, attracting widespread attention. Unlike traditional artists whose works are often displayed in galleries and museums, Winkelmann's work initially went unnoticed. His artwork was more of an ongoing experiment rather than a traditional canvas painting. He uploaded a new digital illustration to his website every day starting in 2007. In an interview with The New York Times, Winkelmann mentioned that his website only received visits from friends and family. He named each of his daily illustrations "Everydays," and eventually combined them all into the final artwork "Everydays: The First 5000 Days."
