Digital Technology Creates New Ways to Collect and Enjoy Original Art

If you’re reading this, you’ve likely heard of NFTs and are interested in what they’re all about. NFT – non-fungible tokens – are an application of the blockchain technology that powers today’s cryptocurrencies. While cryptocurrencies get all the attention in blockchain, the technology allows for other innovative and useful applications. Blockchain is a decentralized public ledger technology that securely tracks records and transactions. The foundation of the concept dates back to the 1990s and digital rights management, a set of technologies designed to allow the free flow of digital assets on the internet and assign rules to protect how they could be used. Blockchain technology is useful in many more ways than cryptocurrencies, and one of the most popular applications thus far is NFT for digital artwork. 

As the world goes from physical to digital goods and experiences, art is following down that path. NFT technology allows creators and artists a way to work in digital mediums, limit reproduction, and assure authenticity. For collectors and enthusiasts, NFT offers a new way to collect and enjoy art free from the confines of the traditional art world. So how can you use NFT  displays for art collections in your Naples, FL, residence or business? Keep reading below to learn more. 

The World of Art Goes Digital!

Like so many things, the world of art is going digital. Much like digital music, it has taken some years of technology and business model evolution to make it happen.

The art world, of course, has been a physical one for the most part. But now, innovative digital technology and business models are democratizing the enjoyment of fine art for many through NFT.

Let’s take a closer look at Blackdove, a digital platform using NFT technology to enable people to purchase, collect, display, and manage authentic digital art on any high-quality display anywhere in the world, from Miami, FL, to Sydney, Australia.

Add High-Quality Surround Sound to Your Luxury Home Theater Room

If you’re just getting started with surround sound for home theaters, you’ll notice numbers like 5.1.2, 7.1, 2.1, and 9.2. What do they mean? Are speaker companies just trying to be complicated and confuse end users?

The second number represents subwoofers for low bass notes. In configurations for Atmos or 3D systems, there’s a third number which is the sum of overhead or ‘height’ speaker channels.  

But what does each setup mean, and which is right for your home? We’ll break down what different formats will offer your Fort Lauderdale, FL luxury home theater room.
