Abstract
With characteristics such as uniqueness, traceability, indivisibility and tampering, and decentralization, NFTs (non-homogenous tokens) are naturally suited to be tightly bound to digital art, thus giving rise to a new art form - crypto art. Various NFT artworks are frequently presented with high price tags, and each auction and transaction is like a piece of performance art. When art no longer has a physical presence, behind the high-priced purchasing behaviour in the digital world is an exploration of the definition of art’s value in relation to art’s historical revolution and aesthetics. This research programme compares and discusses three art forms, physical art, digital art, and NFT encrypted art, through art history and the art market. And bringing it to the laws of artistic development in history, it explores the connections and contradictions between the aesthetic rules of the NFT and traders, collectors, critics, and art gallery curators. This enables us to study how NFT crypto art invades the traditional physical art market and adapts to the complex logic including professional techniques, aesthetic standards, cultural sedimentation, social attributes, and economic laws.
