Luovat metaversumeissa. LUME


The project studies the income possibilities metaverses and NFT art can offer to young artists. The virtual economy in the creative industries is a clear opportunity, but also a threat. Blockchains enable secure virtual commodity trading (NFTs) in cryptocurrencies. The feasibility study examines the rules of the game in these worlds, the forms of different artistic content in metaverses, and the formation of value from the perspective of a new artist.

The preliminary study is done as a desktop work, during which both the phenomenon field and the young artists’
experiences of working in metaverses are outlined.The resulting feasibility study will identify the
concrete measures and skills needed to allow young freelance artists taking into account the rapidly growing virtual
economy as part of their own business logic. At the same time, the feasibility study lays the foundation for a wider
development project as an advocate for culture, in which a training package on the utilization of the virtual economy as
part of one’s own artistic work will be built for cultural operators.
