Ukrainian Fund of Digitized Art

A “Digital Original” of an artwork refers to a digital representation that captures the essence, detail, and authenticity of a physical artwork with high-resolution imaging and verified ownership data. This type of digital asset is created using advanced Digital Light Capture Technology and preserved on blockchain to ensure the original artwork’s unique properties and ownership history are recorded transparently and securely.

Here’s what makes a Digital Original distinct:

• This digital transformation allows artworks to reach new collectors and digital art enthusiasts, offering galleries, museums, and artists a way to engage with audiences in virtual and digital spaces while retaining authenticity and exclusivity.
• Blockchain Integration: These digital assets are stored on blockchain networks, often as non-fungible tokens, linking them to a unique digital signature and tracking provenance and ownership history.
• Verification of Authenticity: Digital Originals are authenticated by the owner or authorized institutions, establishing a secure link between the physical artwork and its digital counterpart.
• Accessibility and Preservation: By creating a Digital Original, the artwork can be preserved digitally, making it accessible to global audiences and protecting it from physical risks like deterioration or damage.
