When does the history of Crypto Art begin? Is it possible to talk about the past to understand what is happening today?

At the meeting, the “Crypto Art System”, theorized by Andrea Concas, will be discussed for the first time, with which it goes beyond technological solutions, identifying its protagonists, along with the dynamics behind this revolution between communities, digital platforms and artists.
Curator Eleonora Brizi, who has experienced alongside artists, in unsuspected times, the great evolution and rise of Crypto Art, through dialogue with artists and their works, brings out the visions, aspirations, complexities, as well as the limits of a world that is all in the making and yet to be discovered.

Guests will include some of the artists interviewed in the book such as Giovanni Motta and Mattia Cuttini, and there will be no shortage of industry professionals such as Amelia Tomasicchio CEO of The Cryptonomist, along with Alessandro De Grandi, CEO and Founder The Nemesis.
