Can Art Save the Blockchain?
summary
Shows a concrete model: a museum‑quality Rafik Anadol installation Sense of Healing pairs neuroscience big‑data visuals with an NFT that sold for 1.7 million, and a Yawanawá commission produces three 7 m works plus 1,000 NFTs that sell out and raise roughly $2.5–3M, returning direct patronage to an Amazonian community. Blockchain provides provenance, built‑in royalties (currently fragile), transparency, and a path from digital drops to immersive physical exhibits while under 100M active wallets.
