Event Description:

Join legal commentator Alexandra Darraby, founder of the Art Law Firm™ and author of Darraby on Art Law in a program featuring the dynamic impact of NFTs and appropriation on markets and collections, including Quentin Tarantino and Pulp Fiction, Andy Warhol and Prince, Hermes’ iconic Birkin bag, Gerard Genta’s heirloom watches –Patek Philippe’s Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Cartier and Bulgari—and rapper and tokenizer Lil Yachty, and more. Alexandra, former gallery owner and law professor, describes the connectivity of tech and culture based on recent cases shared from her newest book on arts & technology, including topics like: What are NFTs, what are the facts and myths about the block chain, the ledger, the cryptocurrency trade, and “meta.”. How and why have NFTs triggered appropriation litigation across the country on claims of copyright and trademark infringement, publicity rights, unfair competition. How can individuals and institutions adapt to rapid change, expand community outreach in a virtual environment, increase membership when members increasingly rely on social media and the internet. How do museums re-envision their missions and what is the meaning of patronage in a world of the metaverse and NFT collectors. How do exhibitions and art education traverses bricks and mortar buildings to the digital universe. How does society act responsibly and equitably for populations that do not have the economics or resources to access next-level technologies?
