Abstract
ABSTRACT Street art has flourished around the world, gaining international recognition and commercial success. Consequently, controversies over their misuse have escalated, and artists have begun to pursue legal protection of their intellectual property (IP) rights. But asserting these rights is still quite difficult, creating a state of uncertainty and risk to both artists and interested parties. In this article, we introduce Street-Art-NFT-System (SA-NFT), a dynamic street art ledger that enables artists to assert their IP rights and communicate with other interested parties, while maintaining their anonymity. Additionally, SA-NFT can create a new documentation method that will open new avenues for studying a city's ever-changing urban facades.
街头艺术在世界各地蓬勃发展,获得了国际认可和商业成功。因此,关于滥用的争议不断升级,艺术家们开始寻求法律保护他们的知识产权(IP)。但维护这些权利仍然相当困难,这给艺术家和相关方都带来了不确定性和风险。在本文中,我们介绍了street - art - nft系统(SA-NFT),这是一个动态的街头艺术分类账,使艺术家能够维护自己的知识产权,并与其他相关方进行交流,同时保持他们的匿名性。此外,SA-NFT可以创建一种新的记录方法,为研究城市不断变化的城市立面开辟新的途径。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Urban Technology publishes articles that review and analyze developments in urban technologies as well as articles that study the history and the political, economic, environmental, social, esthetic, and ethical effects of those technologies. The goal of the journal is, through education and discussion, to maximize the positive and minimize the adverse effects of technology on cities. The journal"s mission is to open a conversation between specialists and non-specialists (or among practitioners of different specialities) and is designed for both scholars and a general audience whose businesses, occupations, professions, or studies require that they become aware of the effects of new technologies on urban environments.
