Abstract

The developments in information and communication technology in the 21st century, and especially during the Covid-19 epidemic, are changing many areas of life, from banking transactions to shopping. One of the areas experiencing this change; it is the art sector from production to sale. In this period, new concepts such as NFT and Crypto art have entered our lives. Artists and higher education institutions that have to adapt to these changes, especially in this sensitive period, have started to research methods of finding crypto art and online creative markets. In this context, the aim of this study is to provide information about the production and exhibition of a new work of art called crypto art, NFT platforms and methods of being a part of NFT. At the same time, while discussing the advantages and disadvantages of NFT, it is also important to explain the subject with important examples. The study is a qualitative research based on an explanatory literature review. In the research, it is seen that the majority of the artists who actively use NFT platforms are graphic designers. Very few of the artists who produce works in the old generation and other branches of art are actively present on these platforms. When our education system is investigated, it is seen that there was no basic course that gave information about such platforms. It has been seen that NFT has been added as a course to the elective pool of only Yıldız Technical and Ankara University. In order for our other universities to be a part of the changing world, they need to include current developments in their programs. It shows that artists, especially graphic designers, follow the current with their individual efforts. In this study, how NFT provides economic advantages to artists is explained with examples.
