This selection presents some of the different ways that Web3 technology is currently used by artists—technologically, conceptually, aesthetically, socially, and politically. It gives a more comprehensive view of the influence of the blockchain and related tech on artists, one which goes beyond the simple prioritization of aesthetics, which has arguably become the ascendent feature of this nascent art ecosystem, often at the expense of other more innovative qualities.
 
Although sometimes feeling like a constrained focus on a single technology, this selection shows that utilizing the blockchain can engender multifarious new outcomes for artists and their audiences. The artists selected here are some of the most adept at making use of these technologies and their surrounding cultures, while together they signal some crucial ways that the tech will continue to be used by artists.
