Creator who sold NFT house for $500,000: We’ll be ‘living in an augmented reality lifestyle’ soon
Contemporary artist Krista Kim recently sold an NFT-minted digital house for 288 ether, valued at over $500,000 based on the cryptocurrency’s trading price Wednesday.
The new owner of Mars House, she said, will be able to upload the file into various metaverses -- 3D immersive worlds -- and experience the digital real estate there. She said Mars House represents the “next generation of NFT art.”
Kim sees a central role for NFTs as the so-called AR lifestyle progresses.
“We’re all going to be decorating our environments and our personal space, our fashion,” she said. “Just like tattoos. People express themselves with tattoos. It’s an art form. Well, people are also going to express themselves with digital ... assets and decorative pieces and collectibles, fashion, accessories.”
Kim agreed, saying that “NFTs matched with art has a very strong value proposition because it does appreciate in value over time because it’s a social asset.”
