Date: August 17, 2024
Host: Cultural Track of Crecimiento by Newtro
Speaker: Fanny Lakoubay
Description: Description: In this talk, we will explore the collector's perspective, from traditional art collecting to the emerging field of crypto art. As artists, understanding collectors' preferences, valued information, and collection-building strategies is crucial. While traditional art collectors appreciate physical artworks for their tangible presence, historical significance, and social prestige, blockchain technology has introduced new ways of collecting. We will discuss what collectors focus on in the digital art space and how artists can make their work stand out. By grasping these key factors, you can better navigate the evolving landscape and maximize your success in the growing field of crypto art.

How are attitudes toward NFTs changing in the art world?
Seven professionals share their perspectives.
Date: December 22, 2022
Publication: Outland
Author: Brian Droitcour
Quote: “I am bullish on NFTs—we all drink the Kool-Aid—but realistic that adoption will be slow. I hope that we can encourage discussions between the crypto art market and the more “traditional” art market in both directions, not just about getting more crypto art into more traditional institutions (galleries, art fairs, museums) but also about how we can improve things with new web3 mechanisms rather than replicate the art market on the blockchain. For this, we need bi-directional discussions with an open and positive attitude. Let’s see what happens!”

In Pursuit of NFTs, A Brand Perspective

Quote: NFTs can turn customers into brand evangelists. Consumers who buy a brand’s NFTs, or get them along with a product purchase, will feel more connected to the company, remain loyal customers and recruit friends and family as customers, the thinking goes. But to engage people, brands must be clear about their purpose with NFTs, said Fanny Lakoubay, the founder and senior adviser at LAL ART Advisory, which specializes in the NFT and crypto art space. “Have a mission statement about why you use NFTs and other Web3 blockchain technology,” she said.

Quote: “For collectors, interest in generative art is a relatively recent development, explained crypto art advisor Fanny Laboukay. “It’s really a niche within a niche,” she said. “But in 2021, generative art really had a blossoming moment, where it really touched people from a distribution perspective.”
Often, buyers of generative NFT works are coming from the crypto sphere, she explained: a tech-savvy, younger crowd who may not be well-versed in the history of fine art, but have a good understanding of technical concepts. “As soon as you talk about how these works are done, it’s all about generative adversarial networks (GANs) and training the machine,” she said, noting that crypto natives, who are predominantly male, are more comfortable with this genre of terminology and mechanisms.”

She thinks the algorithmically generated traits—a mohawk or smoking a pipe for CryptoPunk—are like hitting a button and “you cross your fingers that you get something rare.” The expression of an artist’s creative skills and subjective experiences are missing in PFP projects. It’s like how each American Girl doll can be personalized but it’s only a collectible, not a unique work of art.

At Art Basel Miami, security token debate rages on
Type: Article
Publications: Modern Consensus
Author: Martine Paris
Date: December 20, 2018
Quote: “Each token of the artwork is ERC721 and are collectible like a CryptoKitty or Cryptopunk. They add up to being something, but each one is its own piece of art. It plays in your crypto wallet or on the Snark.Art website. You can visualize the whole video within each 20 by 20 pixel square. It’s being offered face down at the primary market, and for trade on the secondary market like other collectibles.”

Blockland Solutions conference forges first links in chain to Cleveland's tech future
Type: Article
Publication: Crain’s Cleveland Business
Author: JAY MILLER
Date: December 9, 2018
Quote: “Fanny Lakoubay, the chief marketing officer of Snark.art, a Brooklyn, N.Y.-based startup, already has been to many blockchain conferences, and she came away impressed by Cleveland's kickoff for a plan to build the region as a center for blockchain technology, especially the presence at the conference of students and nontechnical people.
"What I really appreciated about the conference was the fact that people from various industries and schools were invited and interested in learning more about blockchain," Lakoubay said in an email after she had left the conference for an art show in Miami. "Most conferences are a closed ecosystem where blockchain companies talk to each other."“

Could Blockchain Put an End to Stolen Art Sales?
Type: Article
Publication: The Observer
Author: Clayton Schuster
Date: October 11, 2018
Quote: “Fanny Lakoubay, New York-based art and blockchain consultant, is cautious about gauging any company’s success at this point. “It’s still very early. Most of these companies are one or two years old,” said Lakoubay. “They’re all trying to fight for a piece of the same pie. It very well may be winner takes all. They’re starting to focus on different kinds of art and luxury items, but there can’t be this many forever. It’s really the wild, wild West.” But even in such nascent stages, the possibilities for what blockchain could do for that other neigh-ungovernable frontier—art authentication—have a lot of artists and dealers calling this the new sheriff in town.”
