When painting becomes NFT
Certifying the authentication of paintings has become a major issue.
There are all kinds of processes to certify a tangible object in NFT, such as affixing a 2D code or an NFC tag to it to host information such as the link to the blockchain.
But there is a more radical gesture! What if, to be certified, a painting had to include a screen displaying a NFT to become a whole object, authentic and certified.
The NFT, icon of our time, can then complete equally iconic paintings.
Hybrid, radical and poetic.
