Fanny Lakoubay Says Everything They Don’t About The Crypto Art Space
Date: December 3, 2023
Publication: Unlocked by 100Collectors
Description: We need people like Fanny Lakoubay to demystify the digital space. The Crypto and NFT world has been turned into an almost inaccessible subject, and the digital art advisor and curator sets the record straight. For her, collecting is not just buying, documentation on digital art as a cultural movement is scarce, and women collectors are still underrepresented. A collector herself and founder of LAL Art Advisory, this French-born Buenos Aires-based guest opens minds and decentralises knowledge.

Quote: In this handbook we’ll cover the context/history behind NFTs in the art world, up to the market crash of 2022 and what artists and institutions have been doing since then.
One of the big stories in web3 over the past year has been the regulatory one, and we’ve seen that reflected in our conversations with museums as they explore this space without clear rules around what they can and can’t do. We’ll explore some of the open questions around contract law and regulations, and how this intersects with artist royalties.

How are attitudes toward NFTs changing in the art world?
Seven professionals share their perspectives.
Date: December 22, 2022
Publication: Outland
Author: Brian Droitcour
Quote: “I am bullish on NFTs—we all drink the Kool-Aid—but realistic that adoption will be slow. I hope that we can encourage discussions between the crypto art market and the more “traditional” art market in both directions, not just about getting more crypto art into more traditional institutions (galleries, art fairs, museums) but also about how we can improve things with new web3 mechanisms rather than replicate the art market on the blockchain. For this, we need bi-directional discussions with an open and positive attitude. Let’s see what happens!”

Quote: “I compare it to the birth of any other art movement,’ says Fanny Lakoubay, a digital art adviser who works with both collectors and artists, to describe the last few years of NFT art activity. The range of new digital artwork that’s being created, of course, has become extremely diverse. ‘It’s the same as painting,’ Lakoubay says. ‘Some will be good, some will be less good, and you’ll see the whole spectrum of everything.’ Three artists who are active in the digital space – Olive Allen, Sarah Meyohas, and Harm van den Dorpel – give a sense of its breadth, complexity, and substance.

In Pursuit of NFTs, A Brand Perspective

Quote: NFTs can turn customers into brand evangelists. Consumers who buy a brand’s NFTs, or get them along with a product purchase, will feel more connected to the company, remain loyal customers and recruit friends and family as customers, the thinking goes. But to engage people, brands must be clear about their purpose with NFTs, said Fanny Lakoubay, the founder and senior adviser at LAL ART Advisory, which specializes in the NFT and crypto art space. “Have a mission statement about why you use NFTs and other Web3 blockchain technology,” she said.

Women and Nonbinary Artists Are Breaking New Ground through Generative Art NFTs
Date: March 23, 2022
Publication: Artsy
Quote: “For collectors, interest in generative art is a relatively recent development, explained crypto art advisor Fanny Laboukay. “It’s really a niche within a niche,” she said. “But in 2021, generative art really had a blossoming moment, where it really touched people from a distribution perspective.”
Often, buyers of generative NFT works are coming from the crypto sphere, she explained: a tech-savvy, younger crowd who may not be well-versed in the history of fine art, but have a good understanding of technical concepts. “As soon as you talk about how these works are done, it’s all about generative adversarial networks (GANs) and training the machine,” she said, noting that crypto natives, who are predominantly male, are more comfortable with this genre of terminology and mechanisms.”

Wait, are NFTs the new Beanie Babies?

Quote: Fanny Laboukey, a digital art advisor in New York, categorized both Bored Apes and CryptoPunks as collectibles. She thinks the algorithmically generated traits—a mohawk or smoking a pipe for CryptoPunk—are like hitting a button and “you cross your fingers that you get something rare.” The expression of an artist’s creative skills and subjective experiences are missing in PFP projects. It’s like how each American Girl doll can be personalized but it’s only a collectible, not a unique work of art.

Alors que les grands acteurs de la banque et de la finance (tels PayPal ou Visa) s'adaptent peu à peu à la demande autour des cryptomonnaies, le monde de la crypto garde un train d'avance et jette son dévolu sur le marché de l'art.Ils restaient niches avec des applications comme CryptoKitties, les NFT sont devenus en quelques mois l'objet de nouvelles passions : le premier tweet de Jack Dorsey s'est vendu à 2,9 millions de dollars, une oeuvre de Beeple à 69 millions de dollars...
* Que se passe-t-il quand deux produits spéculatifs (art et crypto) se rencontrent ?
* Qu'est-ce qu'un NFT (spoiler : potentiellement, tout ce qui est digital) ?

Quote: “Until recently, the NFT art world hadn’t given energy use that much thought, Lakoubay says, because the community of artists and collectors was tiny. Digital art sales weren’t driving the computers that ran Ethereum; that was due to other things, like cryptocurrency speculation. Lakoubay has been happy to see the recent growing interest in crypto art. But it was also a little bit scary. “I’ve been advising collectors to not be too crazy right now,” she says. “It’s definitely not the art market that’s driving the prices.”

At Art Basel Miami, security token debate rages on

Quote: “Each token of the artwork is ERC721 and are collectible like a CryptoKitty or Cryptopunk. They add up to being something, but each one is its own piece of art. It plays in your crypto wallet or on the Snark.Art website. You can visualize the whole video within each 20 by 20 pixel square. It’s being offered face down at the primary market, and for trade on the secondary market like other collectibles.”

Quote: “Fanny Lakoubay, the chief marketing officer of Snark.art, a Brooklyn, N.Y.-based startup, already has been to many blockchain conferences, and she came away impressed by Cleveland's kickoff for a plan to build the region as a center for blockchain technology, especially the presence at the conference of students and nontechnical people.
"What I really appreciated about the conference was the fact that people from various industries and schools were invited and interested in learning more about blockchain," Lakoubay said in an email after she had left the conference for an art show in Miami. "Most conferences are a closed ecosystem where blockchain companies talk to each other."“

Could Blockchain Put an End to Stolen Art Sales?
Type: Article
Publication: The Observer
Author: Clayton Schuster
Date: October 11, 2018
Quote: “Fanny Lakoubay, New York-based art and blockchain consultant, is cautious about gauging any company’s success at this point. “It’s still very early. Most of these companies are one or two years old,” said Lakoubay. “They’re all trying to fight for a piece of the same pie. It very well may be winner takes all. They’re starting to focus on different kinds of art and luxury items, but there can’t be this many forever. It’s really the wild, wild West.” But even in such nascent stages, the possibilities for what blockchain could do for that other neigh-ungovernable frontier—art authentication—have a lot of artists and dealers calling this the new sheriff in town.”
