About this work Aditya explains In NOW Bali magazine: “I have no manual skills of drawing and painting, my creativity developed within the design field. I became interested in graphic design at school as the technology I learned easily, and I perceived this as a career opportunity,” Aditya told me. “When the pandemic began, I was unsure what to do. I began following a collective of artists from Jakarta, IZZY, on the Internet who streamed information about 3-dimensional digital art. This offered me new insights, triggering my imagination to the possibility of fresh creative expressions. I became dedicated to understanding 3D animation from free open-source platforms.”

“Digital art rarely enters the normal art world and is mostly focused upon design and advertising. NFTs exist in an exciting and rapidly evolving decentralised and democratic art world, which eliminates the middleman. Anybody can become an artist or collector,” Aditya explained. “I have learned by watching online and joining Indonesian and international communities. I, therefore, do not need to enter the conventional Bali and Indonesian art worlds.” “I have minted (the process of uploading digital works onto blockchain platforms for sale) over fifteen NFTs and sold more than 10 works. I have sold one exclusive NFT on the ETH platform for 0.1ETH the equivalent of USD $300 and am making series of ten works. More than five of my series have sold out at the price of 3 Tezos, a cryptocurrency valued at about $5 for 1 Tezos. In addition, I have sold two NFTs on the secondary market and received royalties. The royalty mechanism is the advantage of NFTs over conventional art which exists in a domain rife with dishonest practices and at the highest tier is flushed with fake work.” “Many see NFTs as simply a cash grab. The technology is in its infancy, is unregulated, yet allows opportunities to create new artistic expressions and earn money.“

“When you talk to a human in 2035, you’ll be talking to someone that’s a combination of biological and non-biological intelligence,” says American futurist and Google’s Director of  Engineering Ray Kurzweil. “I have set the date 2045 for the ‘Singularity’ which is when we will multiply our effective intelligence a billion fold by merging with the intelligence we have created.”

“I seek to create unique NFTs with references to Bali to provide an alternative for the crypto art market,” he stated. “I believe what is important is artists and creatives learning about new technologies and the growing array of opportunities available to them. Such as new expressive genres, reaching new audiences and securing alternative income streams.”
