Crafting the Augmented Canvas: Mint Gold Dust at ETHDenver 2024

As the digital age flutters off the screen and into the real world, we stand at the dawn of a renaissance, not of the natural canvas, but of the augmented one. As a celebration of these winds of change, Mint Gold Dust beckons you to an afternoon etched in innovation, emotion, and everything in between at ETH Denver’s Vibe Check (the Sequel) event, on March 2nd, 2024.

Unveiling “Echt”

NFTs emerged as a solution to the authentication of digital items, namely pieces of art. But as fate would have it, the rise of NFT art has intensified the question of authenticity, as copycats and deep fakes become rampant, as AI is openly embraced, and as a multitude of new artists experiment with the implications of new technologies and new takes on copyright.

NFTs have also addressed numerous issues surrounding reality, the significance of provenance, and the concept of ownership in an era of machine reproduction.

Then comes “Echt.” In German, the word translates to “authenticity” and is synonymous with “true” and “genuine.” In English, it has come to mean so much more. It is a meditation on the very essence of creation – a reminder to bring forth our most authentic and genuine selves in all that we create. Coupled with the challenges and opportunities of the digital age,  “Echt” beckons us to contemplate the boundaries between reality and imagination, between what is real and what is perceived.

As you reflect on the depths of your creative mind, let “Echt” be your guide. Let it push you to delve deeper, to explore the uncharted territories within yourself. For in the unknown lies endless possibilities, just waiting to be brought to light through your unique artistic expression. 

Are you ready to answer the call?

MINT GOLD DUST EAST COAST EDITION: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ELEONORA BRIZI

ART FOR EVERYONE, ANYWHERE, ALL THE TIME!

Eleonora and Seth sit down and talk about the age of art we’re in, where we can show art anywhere at any time, and how the coming digital advancements open this up wider for the experience of art.

We had some technical difficulties, around 10:45.  We started the conversation one week and finished it the next.

To introduce Eleonora in more depth here is her bio from her website https://breezyart.io/

Eleonora Brizi is an art curator based in New York, Rome and Beijing. She graduated and specialized in contemporary Chinese art. In 2018 she started her new path dedicated to “art and technology” in New York. Before landing in the world of art and tech, she spent six years in Beijing, China, where she worked for four years as assistant to artist Ai Weiwei and two years as assistant and representative in China under the curator Jerome Sans. In New York, she studied blockchain technology and its application to art, especially its use in certifying and monetizing digital art pieces. She looked to open the discussion on attributing a “new” value to art and  spreading the doors to a new form of collecting. As an art curator and gallerist, she deals with and promotes digital art. These works are created through different means: from Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, to raw code, to virtual reality, to painted canvases and ink papers animated on the computer. She combines her knowledge of the art world with the need – of the art itself – of speaking the language of the time. The current dialogue is digital and technical. In China she started her career as an art curator. Working on independent projects gave her the chance of spending time cultivating her favorite activity: relationships with artists. Once in New York she became very active in the flourishing crypto creative community, promoting and participating in many projects.  She co-curated and published The Rarest Book; a book about Rare Pepe, the first ever project of digital art on the blockchain; she organized an art auction of digital art during the Rare Art Festival as well as conferences and panels on art and artificial intelligence and art on the blockchain. She then started the adventure of her “Breezy”.
