Representatives of Digital Art EXPO and 1artchannel spoke about this at a press conference preceding the largest event in the field of art, held in Moscow in early September.
“Our mission is to connect the digital and traditional art worlds.

It's time for traditional collectors to turn their attention to digital NFT works. This is already a trend that cannot be ignored,” says Herbert Shopnik, founder of the NFT agency Digital Art EXPO.

“We are all at a crossroads now, there is a paradigm shift, the way we live. And she dictates new conditions to us, even if we do not want it,” says Olga Kamenskaya, co-founder of the Digital Art EXPO NFT agency. - When technology gains momentum, it changes our lives. NFT technologies are used by people of a new formation. This is a story about the shortcomings of the world in which we live - the adherents of digital technologies want to live in a more perfect world.

Anastasia Perova, the founder of 1artchannel, the only art historian in Russia who studies NFT, notes that the pandemic has contributed to the transition of all spheres of life to the digital format, this has also influenced the explosion in the popularity of NFT technologies, including NFT art.
NFT is a digital asset that is stored in the blockchain network, can be transferred from one owner to another, it can be considered as a kind of digital container that stores information - image, video, sound, 3D models, texts.

On the blockchain, an NFT object has uniqueness and super-protection - information cannot be deleted, replaced or lost. Well-known auction houses such as Christie's and Sotheby's are already selling NFT art, and now Russia is actively joining this trend.

At the exhibition-fair Cosmoscow, at the booth of the Digital Art EXPO NFT agency and the 1artchannel portal, 9 Samsung digital panel monitors will be installed, which will display the works of artists.
“Samsung will demonstrate the capabilities of its modern models, which are also adapted for digital art. By the way, there is an opportunity to purchase a painting immediately with a medium - a Samsung panel, in order to place the object at home already in finished form, ”says Herbert Shopnik. As part of the exhibition-fair, at the stand of the Digital Art EXPO NFT agency and the 1artchannel portal, a competition will be held among the artists participating in the stand for the best work.

The winner will be announced on the first day of the exhibition.
The first 10 collectors who purchase works will be awarded certificates for NFT consulting services. “We will present at the Cosmoscow fair both leading artists in the NFT community and traditional artists immersing themselves in the NFT sphere – we helped them to reformat their work into a digital format,” says Anastasia Perova.
The booth will feature works by such recognized digital artists as AES+F, Aristarkh Chernyshev, Ivan Gorshkov, Brickspacer, Meta Rite, Roman Reznitsky, Roman Bobkov. To create comfortable conditions for collectors-buyers of works, digital technologies will also be used: using a special QR code, it will be possible to study information about the work and its author, as well as check NFT on specialized marketplaces.
