PHOT-225: NFTrippin' in Web3

NFTrippin' in Web3: Methods, Making, and Minting Non-fungible tokens have recently catapulted from a niche interest to a mainstream force in artistic discourse. Though controversial, NFTs continue to exert an outsized impact on the market. It's important for practicing artists to understand how they operate to make informed decisions about participation (or not). This course highlights the history and conceptual potential of NFTs. Students will learn the basic mechanics of NFT ecosystems and will have the opportunity to mint their own NFT at the end of the course. This course is open to non-photo students.
