The Met Launches Blockchain Game While Hollywood Explores Collaborative Storytelling
Cryptocurrency is influencing art and storytelling through two innovative projects.
- The Met Museum launched Art Links, a blockchain-based game to engage users with its collection by identifying thematic connections between artworks. Players earn NFT badges and real-world rewards like museum tours. The project recorded nearly 20,000 plays in its first week and over 1,600 NFTs claimed.
- Incention and Story Protocol introduced Emergence, a sci-fi platform allowing fans and creators to co-develop narratives. It utilizes blockchain to ensure contributions are recognized and compensated via smart contracts. An AI tool, Atlas, aids in generating ideas and assets.
These developments reflect a trend where the boundaries between creators, audiences, and collectors are increasingly merging, highlighting potential new cultural experiences driven by cryptocurrency.
