Feral File

This is Michael from Bitmark, which developed this with artist Casey Reas. Excited to see this here! Some stuff about how our NFTs work and how our past work in digital property rights is being applied. At Bitmark, we believe that agreements around digital property (data, artwork, collectibles) cannot be resolved purely through traditional legal contracts or technology-based smart contracts. Legal contracts can’t handle the fidelity of digital assets (such as defining and enforcing the boundaries of digital property) at scale, technology-based smart contracts can’t handle the incomplete nature of contracts. No contract, and thus no software code, no matter how well constructed, can account for every possible contingency. The DAO highlighted this issue on the Ethereum blockchain several years ago. This is why Bitmark NFTs combine the best of software code (technology) and property law to create robust agreements for all stakeholders. For example, Feral File, the Bitmark-secured NFT art marketplace, builds upon the classic 1971 legal agreement “The Artist’s Reserved Rights Transfer and Sale Agreement.” Feral File’s “Artist + Collector Rights” evolves that agreement for the digital age. It uses the blockchain to record each edition and transfer of ownership. Here’s how Bitmark’s code and law work together: - A blockchain record (Bitmark NFT) defines and connects rights to an asset. This is similar to a “bundle of rights” from traditional property law. - Each edition from Feral File contains a unique agreement, digitally signed by the collector and the artist. This agreement is hashed along with the artwork itself to form a unique identifier that is recorded in the Bitmark Blockchain. - Secondary sales are also standardized in the agreement. This allows artists to take part in the value created when their work appreciates. Our hypothesis is that by cryptographically linking artworks with their legal agreements, we can establish a more sustainable and transparent market for digital artworks. The Bitmark blockchain was purpose-built to process the rights around digital assets at scale. It is more energy efficient, less expensive, and faster at these transactions than other solutions while remaining decentralized, secure, and censorship resistant.

New NFT product in da game! Thanks for sharing :)

NFT everywhere ! Congrats for the launch from the crypto entrepreneur of koinju.io

Hello! I'm a co-founder of Feral File along with Bitmark. We've been developing together in this space for many years and started work on Feral File in June 2020, before the current strong NFT hype kicked in. We're doing many things differently from other platforms. Here are a few points: — all group exhibitions — commissioned curators define each exhibition and invite the artists — all works are large editions, we want to keep the price to collect low — artists trade editions, all artists receive one edition of each work — we focus on software and 3D files are primary media, not video or GIFs — we have a unique artist and collector rights agreement, backed by a legal document. we think it's clear and fair for everyone — bitmark blockchain is specifically for property rights, it also has a much smaller eco footprint than other secure PoW blockchains

The most exciting part of this is that I know that @moskovich and the team foresaw this opportunity a decade ago. This is product is not a reaction to a trend, but a combination of a technology and belief that could change the world.

Is this app helpful to convert large-size files? I need help with my different formats which which are hosted on this blog.
