Arious Royal Collection NFT Vision
The creation of NFTs for the extensive Arious Collections of the following in order to extend the collection as part of a planetary cultural legacy.
Precious Stones
Art
Sculpture
Tapestries
Historical Artifacts
The NFTs will make the collection 100% accessible and create unique paths to shared cultural heritage, new forms of scientific study and engagement with AI systems; and new kinds of collective ownership and deployment in online worlds.
Virtual NFT artifacts will appear in ‘metaverse’ contexts as cultural and scientific pieces, and function as a range of economic instruments.
This project will create a totally new form of storytelling, studying, sharing and appreciating.
NFTs: Familiar Models
An NFT can be linked to a digital file.
An NFT can be linked to a physical file, representing the ownership of that physical object as a contract would.
An NFT can be divided in multiple pieces, owned by different people. These NFTs can give ownership of a small part of a rare or expensive physical item like a unique work of art.
Smart contracts define ownership but can also assign additional conditions. [E.g. give the original owner of an NFT a percentage of each transaction as a commission].
NFTs: Pivot to Innovative Models
Cultural and Economic Benefits
The creation of high-resolution, high-quality scans that do justice to these precious stones and works of art makes their beauty accessible to the world. Defining ownership with an NFT gives the digital version a unique quality that is consistent with the spirit of the original artifact. This enables Arious to share its precious collection with the world while keeping its exclusivity intact.
The digital artifact will be accessible to admire and examine up-close while the original is kept safe. In the digital realm, we can bestow the artifact with elaborate context, explaining their rarity, their unique attributes, and cultural or historical value.
Presenting the artifacts with rich storytelling in such a manner will make an educational experience available to a much wider audience, which will increase the intrinsic and monetary value of the artifacts for the wider public.
