Question 1

What is Art NSDRS?

Accepted Answer

Art NSDRS Inc. is a San Francisco Bay Area digital media company that collaborates with established artists to co-create fine art collections, cooperative works, and experiences that we promote and manage to maximize the impact. We give each artwork a fixed digital (as an NFT in the blockchain) and physical (NFC chip embedded in the physical artwork) identity to ensure authenticity.

Question 2

What artists do you collaborate with?

Accepted Answer

We collaborate with established artists that influence change, challenge preconceived traditional concepts, and define movements.  We believe that the role of the artist, the relationship between representation and significance, and the growing cultural relevance of visual images and experiences mass-distributed through social media, need to be considered and redefined to create a positive impact at a large scale.

Question 3

Why do you only collaborate with established artists?

Accepted Answer

Our primary purpose is positive impact. We do this by creating awareness through the exhibition, promotion, and distribution of works from collaborations with single artists and cooperatives that benefit communities in need. By working with a few established artists per year on these projects we can maximize the impact and value we create in the short and long term.

Question 4

I'm an artist and want Art NSDRS to sell my work. Is this possible?

Question 7

Do you charge artists fees?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not charge any fees to the artists we collaborate with. We believe in the projects we create together and invest our time and money to ensure the success of the collections in the long term

Question 8

What technology do you use?

Accepted Answer

The tech we use depends on the nature of the project that we are working on. Our main interests is the merging of digital and physical worlds via blockchain, microchips, AI, and XR technology including VR, AR, and MR. We are currently exploring the use of digital twins/ news/ data/ events, time-factors, geolocation, context, computer vision, shared experiences, persistent experiences, emotional outcomes data, sound, and other feedback loops between the outside world, the user, and the work in order to deepen the connection between the viewer and the way they experience art.

Question 9

Do all of your projects include NFTs?

Accepted Answer

We believe that we are at the foundation of art's next great revolution: immersive and personalized experiences at the intersection of our physical and digital life and where the authenticity of the artwork cannot be questioned.  For this reason, we work with artists to create both physical and digital works that are registered on the blockchain as an NFT that, together with the NFC chip embedded on the physical piece, guarantee the authenticity of each work in our collections and in some cases allows us to overlay additional experiences that can evolve over time.

Question 10

What is the connection between NFTs and cooperative projects?

Accepted Answer

Since ownership stake is easily assigned to an NFT, we can realize cooperative projects anywhere in the world that don't require centralized enforcement and include automated payments. If necessary, it's possible to integrate other platforms to automatically make local currency payments to mobile phone payment apps that are ubiquitous in marginalized communities around the world.

This means that in essence, no matter how remote the community, artists can finally create a product that carries each creator's ownership stake within it indefinitely while reaching a global market, without the need for intermediary enforcement or shipping. The makers and their ownership stake is intrinsically tied in the product.
