Welcome to this week’s metaverse. luck We round up the most interesting news in the world of NFTs, culture and the metaverse. e-mail marco.quiroz-gutierrez@fortune.com with hints.
NFT had some good news this week. After months of uncertainty and caution, the overall market surged 137% quarter-on-quarter to a staggering $4.7 billion. Also, personal sales he increased by 8.56%. Reported by DappRadar.
This fresh sense of excitement in the NFT space was demonstrated by Tyler Hobbs. QQL: Analogs exhibition (open until April 22nd), I attended last week at the Pace Gallery location on West 25th Street in New York City. The exhibition, which was part of his Web3 his hub of galleries, his Pace Verso, featured a number of Hobbes’ works in the form of physical paintings. art mat.
Topics at the event were how important a sense of community is to many in the NFT space, and how the physical form that sets NFTs apart can attract interest among the non-crypto crowd. or
I spoke with a local artist who didn’t know what an NFT was. “It’s just a deal with me,” she said, but she added that one of her Hobbes paintings piqued her interest and she wanted to know more about it.
In my opinion, NFT creative art for art is making a comeback, but creator fees are down and Blur has overtaken OpenSea in recent transaction volume (OpenSea still has a lot of users). .
I think Hobbs tends to agree with my view. Although he has been offline for the past four months and was not able to directly comment on the current market dynamics, he will return to the roots of painting for the exhibition and hope that people will be able to experience it in a different way. I am happy.
“People know me for my purely digital, generative work, but I still have a very strong attachment to painting,” he told me. Communicate directly at scale and know every detail. “
That’s all for this week, but if you’re in New York next week, enjoy NFT.NYC. Maybe I will meet you there.
