In a world where technology is constantly evolving, it's no surprise that the art world is changing. With so much art now created and stored digitally, there is a need for new ways to track and manage it. That's where data comes in. By using data to create a database of complete works, we can democratise art and make it more accessible to everyone.
This will help to improve the issue of provenance tracking. We will be able to more easily track the origins of each work of art. In addition, by using microchips to authenticate works of art and track their movements, we can help to protect the industry from art cybercriminals. So while there are some challenges that come with this new landscape, there are also many opportunities. By levering data and technology, we can create a more open and fair art world for everyone.
The panel includes Elena Zavelev, founder and CEO of New Art Academy; Massimo Sterpihead of Gianni Origoni Grippo Cappelli & Partners; Devin Finzer, co-founder and CEO of OpenSea; Dr. Curt Bilby; and Anne Bracegirdle, Associate Vice President and Specialist in Christie’s Photographs Department. They will discuss art technology solutions that embrace the improvement of the management and verification of collections and exhibit works:
