Lugano NFT Week

Lugano is becoming a Blockchain & Crypto-Friendly City

Lugano, Switzerland (ots/PRNewswire) - From 15-21 November Lugano Living Lab,
the digital innovation laboratory of the City of Lugano (https://www.lugano.ch/)
, has promoted an unprecedented exhibition that explores the fascinating world
of NFT and Crypto Art with an exhibition, events and dedicated workshops.

Lugano is increasingly a Blockchain & Crypto-Friendly City. After the launch at
the end of 2020 of the MyLugano (https://my.lugano.ch/it) app, the LVGA Points
citizen payment token and the recent creation of 3Achain
(https://www.3achain.org/) , the institutional blockchain promoted by the city,
this time it is the turn of the NFTs with a review between art and technology
entirely dedicated to the understanding of this emerging and extremely topical
phenomenon.

Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs) are a cryptographic system that allows you to provide
proof of authenticity and ownership. Applied in the field of digital art, they
make it possible to certify the uniqueness and scarcity of a work, which as
digital is easily replicable or reproducible, but which is, so to speak, made
rare by its registration in the Blockchain. NFT is therefore not the work or
even an artistic phenomenon, but the corresponding certification registered on
the blockchain.

It is an epochal paradigm shift that opens up new and interesting scenarios for
the art market and that among its merits has had that of unleashing enormous
creative potential by providing a dimension to artistic languages, expressions
and grammars hitherto marginalized by the system of traditional art, thanks to a
strong push from below.

The exhibition promoted by Lugano Living Lab (https://luganolivinglab.ch/it/) ,
the digital and technological innovation laboratory of the city of Lugano, has
been held from 15-21 November at Villa Ciani
(https://www.ticino.ch/it/commons/details/Villa-Ciani/2756.html) with
exhibitions, events and workshops dedicated to understanding this phenomenon.

On the ground floor of Villa Ciani there will be the exhibition entitled "The
Future is Unwritten", curated by Ivan Quaroni and Linda Tommasi. In this
context, a selection of works chosen from the hundreds that make up the
collection of the Poseidon Group (https://foundation.app/@Poseidonnftfund) , one
of the largest and most conspicuous in Europe, will be proposed. Among these,
patrons will be able to admire the works of internationally renowned artists who
have played a key role in the explosion of the phenomenon of Crypto Art such as
Beeple (https://www.beeple-crap.com/) , XCOPY (https://xcopy.art/) , Hackatao
(https://hackatao.com/) and Dangiuz (https://www.dangiuz.com/) , Federico Clapis
