"Art Market Talk: Blockchain + the Art World" at Art Basel in Basel | June 7, 2018

Moderation: 
Tim Schneider: Founder, The Gray Market, and Art Business Reporter at artnet News

Panelists: 
Kelani Nichole, founder, TRANSFER and Director, The Current
Simon Denny, Artist
Robert Norton, Founder and CEO, Verisart

Artist, curator and visionary come together to discuss the potential impact of blockchain on art, the art community and the world overall. Clearly larger change is in the near future, yet what actual effect is blockchain having on art at the present time? How much does blockchain indirectly influence the art world in terms of the changing environment of the Internet, information and money?

Editor's Note: If I had the ability to subtitle this panel, I would have added something like, "The Crypto-Skeptic View of Blockchain in the Arts."
