The newest and most elegant piece of art you can add to your home in an automation project is digital — namely something known as an NFT.
An NFT, or Non-Fungible Token, is a digital certificate of ownership that represents a unique item or piece of content, typically stored on a blockchain. Unlike cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, which are interchangeable (fungible), each NFT is distinct and cannot be replicated. This uniqueness makes NFTs valuable for owning and trading digital assets like art, music, videos, virtual real estate, and even tweets. Essentially, owning an NFT means having proof of ownership of a specific digital item in the decentralized digital space.
Since the NFT craze began in early 2021, many art enthusiasts have been exploring new ways to engage with digital art. Despite its digital nature, the question remains: how can you showcase NFT art in your home?
There are several options to display NFT art, both through analog and digital means. Here, we’ll explore two popular methods:
Use Digital Frames to Display NFT Art
Digital frames, such as those offered by Samsung Frame or Meural Smart WiFi Photo Frame, mimic traditional picture frames but utilize LCD or OLED screens. These frames can display digital images and videos without needing a computer connection. They often support features like slideshow modes and can connect to the internet via a smartphone to download and display new artwork. Available in various sizes and styles, digital frames have become a favored choice among art collectors looking to bring their NFT collections to life on their walls.
Use Physical Prints to Display NFT Art
For a more tangible approach, consider printing your NFT art. This method is cost-effective and straightforward. You can create custom art labels similar to those found in museums, featuring details like the artwork’s title, artist, purchase date, and a QR code. The QR code can link directly to the NFT’s marketplace page, providing viewers with additional information and authenticity. This method is ideal for those who prefer a physical display over digital screens and is relatively inexpensive to implement, often costing less than $20. However, it’s important to note that physical prints are limited to still images and cannot accommodate looping videos or dynamic formats.
These methods offer diverse ways to integrate NFT art into your living space, catering to different preferences and budgets while celebrating the unique intersection of digital innovation and artistic expression.
