Mission

Non-Fungible Castle 2022 explores how blockchain technology can be used to rediscover, share, and preserve our cultural identities. It includes an exhibition of NFTs which represent different artistic forms of expression, serving as a permanent cultural record. A cultural program and discussion platform serves as an opportunity to explore how the artworld can use blockchain technology to celebrate our heritage, build a community of cultural stewards, and encourage storytelling to reconnect with our cultural roots.

Interactive Cultural Experience

Travel back in time by historic train to the birthplace of Czech composer, Antonín Dvořák, to engage with the sights and sounds that inspired his influential body of work. Combining blockchain technology with real-world cultural heritage, guests can look forward to an array of engaging activities, including folk dancing, virtual reality, and a gamified scavenger hunt—providing hands-on experiences through new applications of blockchain technology. Guests will collect NFTs with each activity, authenticating their attendance and participation in the event by recording it in perpetuity on the blockchain.

Conference

A dynamic forum bringing together thought leaders and tastemakers to discuss how the art and crypto worlds can engage with one another to shape the future of blockchain technology and cultural preservation. 

Leading experts in Web3 infrastructure and the art world will explore a variety of topics and questions, including the traditional art world’s place in the NFT community, future applications of blockchain technology and the controversy surrounding its use. One of the panels is exclusively organized in cooperation with the European Commision.
