Investing in digital assets

Holding digital assets in an e-wallet can be important for an art collector for several reasons.

First, an e-wallet allows for easy and secure storage of digital assets such as cryptocurrency or non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These types of digital assets are not physical and therefore cannot be stored in a traditional wallet or safe. An e-wallet provides a secure and accessible place to store and manage these assets.

Second, an e-wallet can allow for faster and cheaper transactions compared to traditional methods such as wire transfers. This can be particularly useful for art collectors who need to make frequent or large payments for art purchases.

Third, an e-wallet can provide greater privacy and security for financial transactions. Traditional financial institutions often require personal information and can track financial activity, which may not be desirable for all art collectors. An e-wallet can provide a more anonymous and secure way to store and manage digital assets.

Overall, an e-wallet can provide convenience, speed, and security for art collectors looking to hold and manage digital assets.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are digital assets that represent ownership of a unique item or asset. They are stored on a blockchain, which is a decentralized and secure digital ledger that records transactions. NFTs are often used to represent ownership of digital art, collectibles, and other unique items.

One of the main benefits of NFTs is that they provide a way for artists and collectors to authenticate and verify the ownership and provenance of digital art and other assets. This is particularly important in the art world, where issues of authenticity and provenance can have a major impact on the value of a work.

In addition, NFTs offer a new way for artists to monetize their work and for collectors to invest in digital art. They provide a way for artists to sell unique, one-of-a-kind works directly to collectors, without the need for intermediaries. This can help artists to retain a greater share of the profits from their work, while also providing collectors with a more direct connection to the artists and their creations.

Overall, NFTs are representing a promising new development in the art world, offering a way for artists and collectors to authenticate, verify, and monetize digital art and other unique assets.

WHAT IS A NFT?

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a type of digital asset that represents ownership of a unique item or asset. NFTs are stored on a blockchain and are indivisible, meaning they cannot be divided into smaller units or exchanged for other tokens. NFTs are often used to represent ownership of digital art, collectibles, and other unique items.

The digital art market has grown significantly in recent years, driven in part by the increasing use of digital media and the proliferation of online platforms that make it easier for artists to share and sell their work. The rise of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology has also made it possible for digital art to be bought, sold, and collected as a unique, verifiable asset.

In the past, digital art was often considered less valuable than traditional, physical art because it could be easily reproduced and shared. However, as the market has matured, digital art has gained recognition as a legitimate form of artistic expression, and collectors have become more willing to invest in it.

There are several factors that could contribute to the continued growth of the digital art market in the future. These include the increasing importance of digital media in contemporary art, the growing interest in collecting digital assets, and the development of new technologies that make it easier to authenticate and trade digital art.

As with any market, the digital art market is subject to fluctuations and risks, and it is important for collectors to carefully evaluate the potential value and risk of any investment.

Investing in art can be rewarding, but it can also be a risky endeavor, particularly for novice collectors who may not have as much experience or knowledge about the art market. Some of the risks that novice art collectors may face when investing in the art world include the following.

Limited knowledge: Novice collectors may not have a deep understanding of the art market, the factors that influence the value of art, or the different styles and movements within the art world. This can make it difficult to accurately assess the value of an artwork and make informed investment decisions.

Fraud and authenticity: There have been numerous cases of art fraud, where works are sold as authentic but are later discovered to be fakes or forgeries. Novice collectors may be more vulnerable to fraud, as they may not have the expertise to identify fake works or may be more trusting of sellers.

Volatility: The art market can be volatile, with prices fluctuating based on a wide range of factors such as the popularity of an artist, the state of the economy, and the overall demand for art. Novice collectors may not be well-equipped to navigate these fluctuations and may be more vulnerable to financial losses if prices decline.

Limited liquidity: Art can be an illiquid asset, meaning that it may be difficult to sell or trade quickly. This can make it challenging for novice collectors to cash in on their investments or diversify their portfolios.

Professional art traders and fine art collectors may have more experience and knowledge about the art market and may be better equipped to mitigate some of these risks. However, even professional collectors face challenges and risks when investing in art, as the market is subject to unpredictable events and trends. It is important for all art collectors, regardless of their level of experience, to carefully evaluate the risks and potential returns of any investment in art.

There are several benefits for art collectors who are starting their collections as new millennial collectors:

  1. Investment potential: Art can be a good investment, particularly if you choose works by established or up-and-coming artists who are likely to appreciate in value over time.
  2. Cultural enrichment: Collecting art can provide exposure to different cultures, art movements, and historical periods, which can be a source of education and personal enrichment.
  3. Personal enjoyment: Art collectors often derive pleasure from owning and displaying works that they find aesthetically pleasing or emotionally meaningful.
  4. Social connections: Collecting art can be a social activity, as collectors often join clubs, attend art fairs and auctions, and build relationships with other collectors and industry professionals.
  5. Legacy building: Collecting art can be a way to build a legacy that can be passed down to future generations.
  6. Support for the art world: By purchasing art, collectors can support artists and the broader art world, helping to sustain the ecosystem of galleries, museums, and other organizations that support the creation and exhibition of art.

What would AI predict for contemporary art in the future for new trends and uses?

Reference: Steve Bayard asking ChatGPT AI what is the possible future of contemporary art.

It is difficult to predict with certainty what the future of contemporary art will be, as it is influenced by a wide range of factors, including societal and cultural trends, technological developments, and the individual preferences and visions of artists.

That being said, there are a few potential trends and uses for contemporary art that may emerge or continue to evolve in the future:

Incorporation of new technologies: It is possible that contemporary artists will continue to explore and incorporate new technologies into their works. This could include the use of virtual or augmented reality, 3D printing, or other forms of digital media.

New intersection of art and activism: Many contemporary artists use their work to address social and political issues and to advocate for change. It is possible that this trend will continue and that art will continue to be used as a platform for activism and social commentary.

Increased accessibility: The growth of online platforms and the increasing use of digital media has made it easier for artists to share their work and for collectors to access and purchase art. It is possible that this trend will continue, leading to greater accessibility and democratization of the art world.

Growth of the digital art market: The digital art market has grown significantly in recent years, and it is possible that this trend will continue in the future. This could involve the development of new technologies and platforms for buying, selling, and collecting digital art, as well as the recognition of digital art as a legitimate form of artistic expression.

It is worth noting that these are just a few potential trends and that the future of contemporary art is likely to be shaped by a complex interplay of factors and events, especially with new emerging AI solutions.

AI art refers to art that is created or generated using artificial intelligence algorithms and techniques. AI art can take many forms, including digital paintings, sculptures, music, texts, and more. Some AI art is created entirely by AI, while other AI art involves a collaboration between humans and AI. For example, this blog was redacted by asking the chatGPT tool a few questions in a sort of interview form and research made by artist and creator Steve Bayard around contemporary art and AI.

The issue of authorship rights in AI art is complex and has yet to be fully addressed by the art world or legal systems. Some argue that AI algorithms and systems should be considered the authors of AI art, as they are responsible for generating the work. Others argue that human creators should be considered real authors, as they are responsible for designing and programming the AI systems that create the art.

There are also questions about how to attribute ownership and control over AI art. Some have proposed the use of blockchain technology to create a permanent, verifiable record of ownership, while others have suggested that AI art should be treated as a collective work, with ownership shared among all the parties involved in its creation.

As the use of AI in the creation of art continues to grow and evolve, it is likely that these issues will continue to be debated and that new approaches and solutions will be developed very soon for it.

WHAT IS A NFT+?

NFT+ is an extension of the NFT concept that allows for additional functionality, such as the ability to track and verify the provenance of physical objects. For example, an NFT+ might be used to represent ownership of a physical piece of art, such as a painting, and to provide a digital record of the ownership history and other details about the artwork.

How to be sure an art collector can buy safely digital assets?

There are several steps that an art collector can take to ensure the safe purchase of digital assets:

Do your research: Make sure to thoroughly research the artist, the artwork, and the seller before making a purchase. Look for reviews and ratings, and try to find out as much as you can about the seller’s reputation.

Use a reputable platform or marketplace: There are several reputable online platforms and marketplaces that specialize in the sale of digital art and other digital assets. These platforms often have safeguards in place to protect buyers and ensure the authenticity and provenance of the artwork.

Use secure payment methods: When making a purchase, be sure to use a secure payment method, such as a credit card or a secure online payment service like PayPal. Avoid sending payments directly to the seller, as this can increase the risk of fraud.

Get a receipt or proof of purchase: Be sure to get a receipt or some other form of proof of purchase, such as a signed contract or a digital certificate of authenticity. This can serve as evidence of your ownership of the artwork and can help protect your rights as a collector.

Store the artwork securely: Once you have purchased the artwork, be sure to store it securely. This might involve keeping it in a digital wallet or on a secure server, or making a backup copy in case the original is lost or damaged.

By following these steps, you can increase your chances of making a safe and successful purchase of digital art or other digital assets.

New collection – Necromancer of another era

New collection – Necromancer of another era

With some 24,600,000 search results in 0.43 seconds only for the word necromancer and about 16,500,000 search results in 0,41 seconds for the words “necromancy in art”, you can see that this is a really hot topic that has grown tremendously over the past few years and has been growing ever since with the appearance of artificial intelligence (AI) which makes it possible to generate a multitude of unique images within a few minutes already, so we taught about sharing with you what we have learned from it.

When it comes to human history, death and the act of dying have always been a big topic of discussion, often giving rise to many tragic occasions. With the development of more complex and elaborate ideas about the afterlife and the underworld, humans began to think of methods to contact the dead. The reasons can vary, ranging from emotional to purely pragmatic, but the effort remains the same. A multitude of rituals has developed over time aimed at reaching the deceased and summoning him to the land of the living. Thus was born the function of the necromancer who is the person capable or knowing the means of speaking to the inanimate.

Over time, people have always been fascinated by death and the afterlife. Funerary practices, tomb decoration, post-mortem rites, and rituals have accompanied humanity from the threshold of civilization to our living rooms, exhibiting proudly such types of art on our walls, and have not left us until modern times. The permanent departure of an individual has always had a shattering effect on the socio-economic structure of a society, going even further if the society was composed of only a small number of members.

Indeed, the closer the ties are between the ancestors or other dominant figures in our community, the more it is necessary to preserve these ties in one way or another, even after death. Dealing with a subject as complex as the necromantic manipulation of the dead can be a difficult task, especially if the facts provided by the story are often vague and based in the realm of myth and legend. Although it would be tempting to focus on the times when necromancy had already “flowered”, the earliest period in history, with some recorded evidence
by several authors, can be dated to Hellenic Greece around 323 BC.

Necromancer of another era #018

COLLECTION

Necromancer of another era is a fine art collection of 24 digital illustrations, reworked by the artist to make them available for you now in limited edition prints on the BayardStore.

In our world of art, it is with the illustration “The witch of Endor conjures the soul of Samuel in the name of Saul” that one of the first testimonies concerning the apparitions and the witches that we can trace back to Joseph Glanvil in 1682 in London. Thereafter is an engraving of John Dee and Edward Kelly summoning in “the act of invoking the spirit of a deceased person” in the book Astrology by Ebenezer Sibly in London in 1806 that this practice will be illustrated again and more precisely.

Our research showed us that the oldest and one of the most important works mentioning our civilization the existence of necromancy is no other than Homer’s “Odyssey”. This Greek epic poem, fundamental to the Western canon and the second oldest complex written work of Western civilization, dates from the 8th century BC. The work describes the journey of the Greek hero Odysseus in Roman tradition.

The reference is as follows:

“With prayers and vows, I called upon the families of the dead. I held out the sheep above the hole, slit their throats, and let the dark blood flow. Then out of Erebus came swarming up shades of the dead, brides, young unmarried men, old ones worn out with canvas, young tender girls, with hearts, still new to grief, and many men wounded by bronze spears, who’d died in battle, still in their blood-stained armor. from all sides of the pit, with amazing cries. Pale fear seized my heart. Then I called my comrades, ordering them to flay and burn the sheep still lying there, slain by cruel bronze, and pray to the gods, to mighty Hades and Persephone.”

Reference: Homer – Odysseus

At the beginning of the practice named “Nekyia”, Odysseus digs a trench with his sword, and around it they pour libations for all the dead, first mixed with honey, the second time mixed with sweet wine, the third time mixed with water and then they sprinkle white meal over it.

Odysseus promises the hordes of the dead, that when back in Ithaca he will offer them a barren heifer in his palace and build for them a huge sacrificial pyre. Especially for Tiresias, he will sacrifice an all-black sheep that excels among other sheep.

In this part of the short story, Tiresias also advises Odysseus, that the spirits he would like to question should also be allowed to drink from the sacrificial blood. Here we observe what would later infamously become a dominant trait of necromancy, the practice of blood sacrifice needed for interaction with the underworld.

The roots of necromancy can be positively traced back to early Antiquity, with documented practices of several cultures and frequent interactions between them mutually influencing each other.

The necromancers of the past are mentioned by many sources, including the Bible and the Quran. A multitude of Greek and Roman historians described the rituals of their own contemporaries, as well as foreigners from different lands.

The belief which accounted for the dead to be wise, because of their closer proximity to god, and thus able to provide visions and prophecies beyond the ability of mother mortals was present in several cultures of Antiquity.

Nevertheless, the origins of the conjuration of the dead are probably older. Similarities reaching back to the practices of shamanism, or even to the ancestor cult can be traced back to the Stone Age.

But whether the unusual burial customs and the handling of corpses and bones were really part of an elaborate “necromantic” practice, as a means of placing oneself under the protection of an ancestor, or to appease his needs in reaching forth to the land of the living, will likely remain uncertain.

A necromancer is a person who practices necromancy, a discipline of dark magic used to communicate with the dead in order to predict the future.

Among the best known, we can find Sauron, a character from the legend of JRR Tolkien, nicknamed “the Necromancer” in the film “The Hobbit”, the Necromancers (Dungeons & Dragons), a class of characters from the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons Dragon game. Dragons, but also Necromancers, a class of recurring characters in the Diablo action role-playing game franchise that greatly influenced the artist in his youth playing Diablo 2 & 3 and still on television screens with for example the flying android class in the Atheist/Mithraic Wars in Ridley Scott’s American television series Raised by Wolves.

Homer, Lucan, or Horace mention that necromancers used blood in order to call the dead. Blood is the life force sustaining them and making them able (or willing) to speak which explains the red dark tones in the backgrounds of the artworks in this new art collection presented by the artist.

The importance of blood is one of the most noticeable rites in almost all religions and cults even today. The ochre color in the graves of the Stone Age, blood rituals in Antiquity, Aztec and Mayan beliefs in the concept of the universe, the importance of blood in Judaism and Islam (the disposal of blood during the preparation of meat), the Matam of the Shia or the Holy Blood of Christ are just a fraction of all the blood-related practices and ideas that accompany the religious beliefs of mankind.

No wonder then that the most important fluid also finds its way into the communication with the deceased. The renown this practice gained was also the foundation of the later infamous linking of all the occult practices to blood rituals and sacrifices, rendering occultists outcasts who were active in practices harmful to the general public.

The veneration of the dead, which also includes the ancestors, is one of the oldest religious practices in human history and, surprisingly, this idea still survives today. However, the similarities in the goals the practitioner is trying to achieve with necromancy cannot be disputed, they are now widely pictured on the web.

Not only did the Greeks and Romans have an elaborate belief in the underworld and with it a strong connection to necromancy. Several other nations, mainly from the Middle East region, also had their own means of communication with the dead. On several occasions, practitioners of this art from other regions have also been mentioned by Greek sources, often even claiming that the knowledge came from the nations of the East. Strabo, in his work Geography, reports that magicians, among others also diviners of the dead, originated in Egypt, Babylon, or Etruria.

Among the most eminent Shamans, besides the necromancers, were the Chaldeans, and especially the Sabians who were magi from Persia and who are said to have taught the art of divination to several of the Greek and Roman sorcerers already mentioned, without forgetting of course the priests of Babylon and Egypt as mentioned by Isaiah 19:3. We could therefore ask ourselves, could the origins of necromancers be shamanic?

COLLECTION

Necromancer of another era is a fine art collection of 24 digital illustrations, reworked by the artist to make them available for you now in limited edition prints on the BayardStore.

That doesn’t seem to be the case, because even though shamanism is considered one of the oldest religions of all time, the origins of necromancy could actually go back even further in time. Indeed, the first similarities with the necromantic rituals and practices of later periods could be rooted in the worship of the ancestors which would already date back to the Stone Age.

One person’s death was always the big unknown. Even in today’s modern society, where final departure can be explained from the point of view of medical science as a decline in biological functions, the idea of dying is still shrouded in mystery. We can only be rational to a certain extent, most likely when the question of death does not concern us directly. Social and emotional ties are severed by the death of a close friend or relative. In such a situation, it is understandable to assume that a desperate person is willing to try methods beyond the realm of logic and science.

In science-fiction, “Necromancer” or “The Necromancer” can also refer to several types of content such as fictional movie characters, video game characters, literature, and music. This type of character appeared for the first time in “Scenes of divination, including haruspication, pyromancy, and necromancy” in a drawing by Hans Burgkmaier the Elder (1473-1531) on display at the National Library of Paris in France, and then in American literature in the book “Necromancer” which is a science fiction novel by American writer Gordon R. Dickson, published in 1962. In the work of Dickinson, the necromancer follows the fortune of Paul Formain, a mining engineer at the end of the 21st century who suffers several accidents and is following the necromancer Jason Warren with the initial goal of joining the guild for the regeneration of his lost arm.

During his research, the Swiss artist Steve Bayard wanted to bring this history to life by conveying it in turn in the form of a collection of works of art that he will begin to create in 2022. The goal of the collection is to pay homage to the engineers who, like him, are engineering lines of code to create amazingly relevant NFTs today and forming the new basis for museum exhibitions in the next century.

It was by drawing inspiration from this creative essence after the artist Steve Bayard had an accident in the right wrist in August 2020 that the artist continued his research around AI and necromancy with, for example, the visioning of short movies such as Necromancer, a 1988 American horror film, and Nekrotronic, a 2018 Australian sci-fi horror film that had an average rating of 5.3/10 on Rotten Tomatoes.

Interestingly, the review site there described this second film as follows: “Nekrotonic has a lot of weird energy, but this horror-comedy hybrid mixes ingredients without quite knowing what to do with them.” On Metacritic it had achieved a score of 25% based on reviews from 4 critics, indicating “generally unfavorable reviews”. However, the 2018 film was widely picked up and republished on Youtube by users totaling more than 4K views or around 1K views per month for a film in which Monica Bellucci plays one of the main roles, which probably allowed the film to be nominated for Best Hair and Makeup at the 9th AACTA Awards.

As the artist also went through a youth filled with PlayStation video games such as Diablo, and Diablo II where the Necromancer determines that the Malefics have grown too powerful and thus allies with the forces of Light to restore the balance of the world and Diablo III, where “The Witch Doctor” is a new character reminiscent of the necromancer from Diablo II, but with skills more traditionally associated with voodoo culture not unfamiliar to her, this influenced him a lot for creating these iconic portraits of necromancers.

COLLECTION

Necromancer of another era is a fine art collection of 24 digital illustrations, reworked by the artist to make them available for you now in limited edition prints on the BayardStore.

Necromancer of another era #024

Like a sorcerer, using artificial intelligence (AI), the artist has recovered the ability to invoke mysterious forces to cast curses, harvest souls, and launch his production of artwork on the enemies of transdisciplinary artists while offering comfort to depressed souls looking for more mystical imagery to suspend behind glass on their walls.

Did you know? It seems like the real rise in the digital market of necromancers probably took place during the release on June 27 of 2017, which was already announced at BlizzCon earlier in 2016 with Diablo III: Rise of the Necromancer which is a second expansion for the Diablo III game. This new game expansion introduces the Necromancer class, which prefers to strike from a distance, unleashing destruction from afar.

The skeletal undead under their command overwhelmed enemies before they had a chance to strike, and the horrific curses the necromancers employed crippled even the most resilient demons. Necromancers could use their undead mobs to create diversions or simply open a path for their master to escape safely.

It is of course by listening to the song “Necromancer” by Sepultura, during the creation of this collection that the artist finally had all the elements to add the perfect touch in order to create an original collection and immerse himself in beastly pixel devastation through patterns of diffusion and machine learning.

You can discover the 24 illustrations as the first drop for this collection of prints on the BayardStore.

COLLECTION

Hackers of the future is a fine art collection of 10 digital illustrations, reworked by the artist to make them available for you now in limited edition prints as well as in 4ARTNFT+ on the BayardStore.

With new security and transaction standards now having been introduced on a large scale since the advent of the Internet, it is now a matter of being able to accurately identify the history of a work of art in order to be able to determine its value and acquire in a clear and transparent manner.

This is only the beginning of the transition to an era where digital art has enabled the establishment of exchanges of values much faster and with more transparency than when processing transactions which until now were carried out in a much more traditional way,

These technological advancements have not only allowed us to conduct our transactions more securely than before. With their appearance, many developers have been interested since 2015 already.

Having perfectly integrated the new standards of 4ARTechnologies and Web3.0 into his creative process, it is with artificial intelligence (AI) that the young Swiss designer will publish his first collection produced using distribution models with Google’s MidJourney tool that he installed directly on its Discord server in order to generate its illustrations in private mode using text prompts sent by private message to the MidJourney bot.

It was first with keywords, then with more details that the artist carried out his research until he was able to obtain the desired result. Once this is finished, it is on Adobe Illustrator that the artist will be inspired by the illustrations obtained apart from the AI to finalize the works of this collection.

The images have a low 16:9 format, i.e. 2688 × 1536 pixels in original size, and have been vectorized, reworked, and adapted to be printed from DIN-A4 to DIN-A0 format.

The keywords used for this collection have been around the theme of biohacking and cyborgs to produce a futuristic vision of what hackers might look like in the future. This is how since December 1, you can discover the new collection of our young designer.
