EP 54 –Ali Sabet and Joseph Lanius: How Are NFTs Empowering Creatives?

In episode 54, Aalia’s husband, entertainment attorney and major motion picture producer, Joseph Lanius, joins her for a conversation with Ali Sabet – an internationally-acclaimed artist and the creator of the famous art brand, Pixopop. Aalia, Lanius and Sabet discuss non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and how they are empowering artists. This ever-growing form of blockchain technology creates a digital certificate of authenticity which allows the owner of an NFT to claim ownership of a truly unique digital file. While Lanius breaks down the legal and logistical implications of NFTs (14:00, 27:37), Sabet shares how NFTs empowered him and other artists by making their art more accessible to collectors (29:00) and how “smart contracts” (32:50) allow artists to keep making money even after their NFT is re-sold. Curious about this new technology? Or maybe interested in making NFTs work for your own art? Then don't miss out on this enlightening discussion and get some UNSUGARCOATED answers!
