Street art for sale: NFT art auction
The creators of the Binance NFT marketplace plan that the new site will become the center of the NFT art market with high liquidity and minimal fees. The choice of Pokras Lampas as the headliner of the auction is easy to explain. “Pokras Lampas was one of the first artists to move from traditional art to digital, and he is one of those who are at the origin of the development of an entire industry,” says Gleb Kostarev, director of Binance in Eastern Europe. In March 2021, Pokras Lampas sold at a crypto auction the work Transition (shooting a projection of his work on the building of the Chirkeyskaya HPP) in the form of a token for $ 28,700.

New technologies are allowing street art artists to return to the marketplace and monetize their art. The protagonist of calligraphy, the creator of calligraphy tourism, Pokras Lampas sees new opportunities in NFT to promote his creativity: “Writing is a tool that is inextricably linked with the development of technology and the evolution of communications. Our ancestors buried time capsules with letters to the future in the ground, but we also have access to a digital code that will keep our ideas forever and become the foundation for building a new culture, art and economy, ”the artist quotes a press release from the NFT marketplace Binance.
