The increasing use of digital technology has significantly contributed to revolutionizing the art world, and the effects of the digital age will likely cause huge changes in how people perceive and appreciate art.

In the virtual community, art is evolving fast. Nowhere is this more apparent than with the growing popularity of NFTs, a.k.a. non-fungible tokens. More and more artists are creating art with the intention of it being used as NFTs; SuperTrip64 is just one of these

artists. Since the creation of the first NFT, sales for digital pieces have grown exponentially. Nowadays, there are numerous artists displaying and selling their works entirely through the internet.

The Intricacies of NFTs

Though a few art critics question the popularity of non-fungible tokens, these pieces are making big waves online. Case in point, NFT sales have soared over the years through avenues like Instagram.

A significant proportion of the online art community holds contrasting views about the conception of NFTs. When the digital era led to the internet becoming the standard medium of communication and dissemination related to art, some viewed this as the natural evolution of the art world. Meanwhile, others saw this change as a rejection of the human effort exerted by artists in the past.

The NFT phenomenon in the art world

Despite the influence NFTs have in the art world, there are still a few concerns about the risks that NFT artists face. The NFT marketplace may be prone to financial troubles; since no monetary authority has proper control over cryptocurrencies and their value is based entirely on the trends within the cryptocurrency market, they cannot function as legal tender.

Aside from this, many other members of the digital art community feel frustrated by the prevalence of NFTs. They seem to believe that these art pieces exist solely to help artists turn a profit and don't have the integrity of other art forms.

A glimpse into the future of NFTs

At this point, NFTs are already one of the main trends of the art world. Therefore, we can all expect that the next few years will be pivotal when it comes to how NFTs will influence modern art as a whole.

Digital art is amassing an ever-growing following, thanks to social media sites like TikTok, which help to increase public awareness of NFTs. The positive perception of NFTs in the eyes of the general public will strengthen the validation that they are indeed the future of art.

The introduction of NFTs has paved the way for independent artists to make themselves known to the art community while simultaneously transforming the way society views art. The appeal of digital art is a bonus because artists like SuperTrip64 who have struggled to find a space for their art no longer have to worry about finding an audience for their creations. With more acceptance for digital art these days, it is safe to assume that NFTs are here to stay for as long as the markets favor them.
