Jonathan Liu is a Visual Artist working primarily with photography within his practice. He is interested in the narratives formed through text and photographs. Drawn from his fascination of narratives and the relationship between the artist and the poet, his recent works attempt to mirror and question our reality through representation and fragmentation of the landscape. His work deals with concepts such as memory, post-memory and the search for the layers in-between with works having exhibited in the United Kingdom, China and Singapore. He graduated from London College of Communication with a BA (Hons) Degree in Photography and currently lectures in LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore.
The Upward Trend: NFTs and On-Chain Art is an introductory course designed for those who are interested to learn about the background and history of crypto art, and are keen to navigate the concept of NFTs, the technology that underlies them and the ecosystems they propel.
During the course, our instructors from NFT Asia will provide an overview of the basic terminologies that surround NFTs, blockchain and Web 3.0. They will also spotlight the relationship between NFTs and contemporary art discourses, as well as its interactions and intersections with broader art communities, such as through Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs).
As a participant, you will examine case studies, recent writings on the technology and engage in group discussions. By exploring different considerations to utilising NFTs which include minting, displaying and community building you will gain insights into the future of NFTs and its potential impact on the roles of artists, creatives, museums, galleries and the art business at large.
