NFTs are huge these days and are giving artists an innovative way to display and even sell their artworks online to collectors. While there are online marketplaces that allow NFTs to be displayed and collected, one in particular, Artemis Vision, is making waves because of its innovative use of video technology and its fast-growing community whose members enjoy quality art.
I decided to check in with Dean Kim, Artemis Vision’s co-founder and President, to hear more about his plans for the NFT art marketplace and to learn how Artemis Vision is taking NFTs and art in a new direction.
When I meet up with him, I have to admit a little sheepishly that I am not entirely sure how NFTs work. “That’s a common question,” he says, smiling a little. “NFT stands for ‘non-fungible token,’ but I know that didn’t really help much. Non-fungible essentially means that the token is unique and can’t be replaced. NFTs are part of the Ethereum blockchain, a name you’ve heard a lot about lately. NFTs can pretty much be anything digital, and at Artemis Vision, they are artworks.”
Dean explains that the type of art NFTs on Artemis Vision ranges from oil paintings, to anime, to pencil sketches. “We have an incredible array of artworks because our platform attracts such talented people,” he shares. “You can find almost any type you are interested in. It’s very inspiring to look through the NFTs we have.”
The beauty of Artemis Vision, says Dean, is how it connects artists and collectors from all over the world. “Picture a man in India who loves to draw and possesses impressive talent. He would like to display and even sell his work, but he isn’t sure how to do that. Then visualize a woman in California who might not be able to draw more than a stick figure, but she still appreciates high-quality art and likes to collect it. How can those two people be connected? Not so long ago, that was essentially impossible, but now Artemis Vision connects them. Our platform uses blockchain technology to bring together creators, hobbyists, and collectors no matter where they are.”
Some of those creators include celebrities. “This is part of what makes Artemis Vision so exciting,” Dean says, enthusiastic. “We’ve seen celebrities on the big screen or in concerts, of course, but some of them are actually excellent artists. They are ready to show their creations to the world, and they are choosing Artemis Vision to do it.”
What will make this even more exciting, he continues, is the impressive video technology that Artemis Vision has incorporated into its platform. “Think about how fun this is going to be: we have live video streamings and 360-degree videos, and they will allow fans to watch as celebrities upload their NFTs. They may even talk a little about their creations. Innovations like this are why Artemis Vision is standing on the edge of explosive growth.”
It does sound intriguing, and I like to draw. However, I am a non-tech person, so I admit that I’m not 100% sure I could create and load my own NFT. Dean hastens to reassure me. “Artemis Vision makes the whole process very easy,” he says. “Once you upload your file to your account, our platform allows you to mint your NFT, which only takes a few minutes. You are guided every step of the way.”
Once that’s accomplished, the user can experience Artemis Vision’s full power when they dig into the platform’s features. Dean states that everyone has access to all of Artemis Vision’s perks, including support for artists, NFT social management, custom NFT art consultation, an NFT Surprise Pack, and, yes, the video technology.
“Behind all of that lies our deep commitment to our users, including the ability to monetize ads, intellectual property rights strategies, and NFT broker service and consultation. There is nothing that we can’t help you with as you explore Artemis Vision,” he concludes.
Dean co-founded Artemis Vision with Danny Nunez, its CEO, because both men share a passion for crypto technology and artwork. “We’re both what you might call crypto believers,” Dean says. “I think ‘computer geeks’ is too strong. We actually have a lot of business experience outside of computers. I have over twelve years in
managing and building sales teams and have worked on more than 100 projects with them. Danny has had success with the telecommunication premier retail locations he has opened. We have both developed a passion for cryptocurrency and were intrigued when we saw NFTs growing alongside the blockchain industry. This is when I sat down with Danny to begin brainstorming what we could do with NFTs. Artemis Vision was born.”
As Dean and I wrap up our conversation, he leaves me with this idea. “No joke, a single photograph was minted as an NFT for millions of dollars. That won’t be true of every NFT, of course, but you can see the potential. NFTs are where our future is going, and Artemis Vision will be at the front of it. Whether you are a collector or a creator, anyone who loves great art will enjoy Artemis Vision.”
