BETWEEN FASCINATION AND IRRITATION: NFTS IN THE ART WORLD

Guest commentary for Swisspartners: “Digital art has found its way into the classical art world within a few years due to blockchain technology. High auction prices and strong media attention have put an end to generative art’s niche existence. Whether that makes lasting sense is something only time will tell. But ultimately, art is expected to mirror society, thereby promoting critical discourse. This is precisely the contribution that NFTs can make in view of the rapid digital transformation in business and society.”

Crypto Nation Switzerland book sold 450 copies so far

In 2019 I published my first book: Crypto Nation Switzerland. I wrote the book in German for the Swiss market only (a bit of a mistake I must admit). Typically between 12,000 up to 15,000 books get published in Switzerland each year. Normally crime stories are among the bestsellers. Selling more than 5,000 copies in Switzerland is already outstanding. Therefore as a first-time author I am exceptionally proud to have sold so far almost 500 books. A big thank you to all my readers and my publisher Stämpfli Verlag in Bern.
