In this episode of the Apollo Awards podcast Gabrielle Schwarz speaks to art historian Sam Spike about how non-fungible tokens have transformed collecting. Spike is the co-founder of JPG, an NFT curation platform, as well as the Creative Director of Fingerprints DAO, a collection of work that uses the blockchain as an artistic medium. He discusses issues of ownership and security, and why not everything needs to become an NFT.
Presented in partnership with Close Brothers Asset Management, this three-part series takes a focused look at NFTs, featuring interviews with experts about different aspects of the technology – from making to selling to collecting on the blockchain. The full series can be found on Spotify here.
