Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are best described as “bitcoin for art.” NFTs allow pictures, videos, music, or anything other form of visual or digital culture to be to be traded, stored or authenticate. NFTs allow artits to see and protect their digitial creations as the block-chain technology means NFTs cannot be duplicated without permission. However, because there is no real oversight or regulation, NFTs are easy to exploit.  Louise Carron, an associate at Klaris law, will be helping us understand this new frontier in the global art trade.
