What is LFDA？
LFDA stands for Liberation Front of Digital Art. It is an organization that aims to unite artists, collectors, and curators, to help each other and popularize digital art and culture. LFDA is a team, a community, and an army. We aim to push digital art to a whole new dimension.
What is Digital Art？
Digital art can either be understood as any artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process, or more specifically as computational art that uses and engages with digital media. It is the outcome of computer graphics technology and has been widely used in films, animation, video games, design, and other fields. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of digital artists over the years, we have seen countless great digital artworks in movies, TV series, animations, video games, music, etc.
“A Caged Beast”
Digital art includes but is not limited to images, videos, text, and audio. So it is very convenient for dissemination, storage, and reproduction. But this also makes it difficult to trace the source and confirm the copyright, so digital art needs to rely on other media for dissemination and commercialization in most cases. In this process, digital art and these new media complemented each other and achieved amazing progress together. The technology of digital art has also developed rapidly in this process, constantly breaking the boundaries, which makes it even more regrettable that digital art has never had the opportunity to release its full potential, like a caged beast. The wall that protects it has also become a cage that restricts it.
NFT for Digital Art: A Revolutionary Change
The world is changing and we are not going back to old paradigms. Now an ownership revolution called Web3 is going on. One of the most important weapons in this revolution, NFT, is an innovative technology that has the power to revolutionize the long-standing embarrassment of digital art.
As we mentioned before digital artworks have been lacking adequate protection since their inception, the protection provided by copyright law is very limited and expensive. But now NFT is changing that. NFT technology gives each piece of digital artwork a unique block on the blockchain. Due to the traceability and immutability of the blockchain, these digital artworks that have been minted into NFTs become truly unique, always verifiable, and always traceable.
This allows digital artists to legitimately trade their digital artworks and prevent them from being stolen. Digital artists who have previously worked in film, animation, video game, design, and other fields have the opportunity to be liberated, to fully release their talents and skills, to shift the focus of artistic creation from serving commercial projects to self-expression and exploration. This fundamental liberation of productive forces will undoubtedly unleash enormous creativity and bring a huge explosion to the art world.
Technically speaking, NFT for digital art is like paint tubes for impressionism. Easy-to-store, portable paint tubes free artists from the studio, allowing them to paint outdoors anytime, anywhere to capture the rapidly changing light and shadow. This technical advancement influenced the way artists think and create, and help them to bring an entirely new wave of art to the world.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir said, “Without colors in tubes, there would be no Cézanne, no Monet, no Pissarro, and no Impressionism.”
Our Vision: The Future of Digital Art
In brief, NFT creates personal properties in the internet world, making digital content from readable, writable, to ownable. This allows digital artworks to exist independently and trade directly, which benefits creators and collectors. It will definitely attract many pioneers to start creating their experimental NFT artworks, while collectors and auction houses are eager to seek outstanding artists and magnificent artworks. The door to a new world has been opened, what kind of new era will we create in the future?
There are already some great digital artworks that are starting to hit the stage, attracting people’s attention, and bringing nice profits for artists and collectors. It is definitely a fantastic start to this revolution. These works are imaginative, dazzling, wild, unrestrained, and remarkable. They are detached from commercial projects and corporations, directly conveying to us the thoughts and feelings of creators. This directly shows us a more detailed and comprehensive contemporary social movements and zeitgeist, as many people say, this is a Digital Art Renaissance. Just as the art of the Renaissance reflected the taste and times of the mercantile community, today’s art reflects the global value system of NFT collectors. Values that espouse decentralization, open-access, participation, and self-autonomy.
Therefore, we believe that in this rapidly changing digital age, more and more excellent digital artworks will emerge, which will be spread, discussed, analyzed, studied, and remembered by society and people. And these excellent works will attract more people to be curious about the crypto world, start to discover and enter this magical world.
The decentralized blockchain technology liberated digital art, and the liberated digital art will become an important force in the decentralized revolution.
