A platform open to everyone
Samsung Electronics Turkey CMO Ömer Barış Gökpınar, who hosted the presentation of the dART Platform, where digital art is evaluated in a wide perspective from its development stages to how it is made and its current situation in our country, said in his speech:
“As Samsung, we currently contribute to digital art production with our mobile devices such as phones and tablets. We also offer an alternative to displaying digital art with our Lifestyle TV screens. We design and present our digital products to include digital art. While combining the support we give to the arts with technology, we have formed an expert committee consisting of the leading names of our country in the field of digital art and NFT technologies, who are experts in this field with our dART Platform.
By constantly feeding our portal under the moderation of experts in the field, we offer it to everyone as a platform that is up-to-date, guiding and embracing both the development of digital art in the world and the innovations in this field in Turkey. We aim to develop artists and young people in this field with the academy and online trainings we will create within our portal.
In addition, with the contributions of our expert committee, we will organize visits to the workshops and studios of the leading digital artists of our country; We will be guests of the relevant faculties of universities with our experts. We will learn working techniques and routines, sources of inspiration on the spot. We will have the opportunity to ask all the curious ones. We will respond to all the curious concepts with the Digital art and NFT dictionary we will create.
We will also host the leading figures of digital art and NFT on our platform, and provide a live and constantly updated source of information with YouTube chat series. We also aim to provide guidance on the curation side for digital art exhibitions and to contribute to the creation of diversity in this field in our country.
I would like to thank dear Hakan Yılmaz, Ecem Dilan Köse, Yasin Yaman, Necmi Deniz Akıncı and Berk Kır, who shared their works so that we could create a small exhibition in our first event on this path we set out to support young artists in Turkey and to develop digital art.” said.
In addition to this, another goal of the platform is to make new artists visible by providing curation support for digital art exhibitions. We are starting with the support of our expert board, which consists of two prominent names who are experts in their fields. We hope that our expert board, which will contribute to our platform, will grow even more with a curator in the future.
In this direction, Hakan Yılmaz, one of our expert board, will provide a comprehensive consultancy with his knowledge on how artists can develop their infrastructure and exhibit their works in the digital environment. Devrim Danyal, on the other hand, will provide consultancy with his knowledge and experience in the field of NFT the works and generating income.” said.
Pointing out that the origins of digital art and its products that emerged in the 1990s date back to the 1960s, NFT artist Hakan Yılmaz said, “Digital art differs because it has a great partnership with computers and technology in matters such as production processes, presentation styles, and sales style. I think that basic art education should be taken in order to produce art in a projective sense, digital or not.
This does not necessarily have to be taken from an academy; Today, there are many online resources on the subject, which can be said to be unlimited. Regarding the material and moral rights of the artists, we can say that this issue is basically divided into two as pre-NFT and post-NFT.
Before NFT, sales of digital artworks were made with conventional methods, that is, with a traditional contract, and the problem of copying the work turned into a huge problem in almost every sale. Since this issue has been systematically resolved on the blockchain after NFT, we can say that the days we have been waiting for have finally arrived.”
Revolution Danyal, member of the dART Expert Board and one of the pioneers of Blockchain in Turkey, said, “First of all, when we look at the historical development of digital art and NFT, we observe that the process is as old as the recording period and has been transformed in different formats until today. That’s why his story covers all global industries.
The first introduction of NFT into our lives was mainly through cryptocurrencies on a financial basis. We can say that NFTs in the financial ecosystem, which is insufficient to attract everyone’s attention, have evolved into crypto assets by first meeting with art and adding identity, certification, color, harmony and rhythm to our lives. We digitize and commodify every phenomenon that you can think of, intangible, intangible, solid, liquid, gas, that we can record, and turn it into an NFT, and we become able to redesign all sectors. ” he said.
