We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Bitmark. Awarded as World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer in 2020, Bitmark is building cryptographic products that let people collaborate while protecting their activities and assets.
Bitmark addresses a problem faced by all creators — a bureaucracy that takes credit and earns rewards from the work they produce. You see this problem in all forms of media: art, music, film, video, journalism, and writing. Now using social networks, anyone can be a creator, but most are unable to actually earn any of the rewards from what they produce on those platforms. The artist has always had to sacrifice their ownership rights to gatekeepers.
Bitmark and Oasis Network share the same vision; to create the technology that enables true digital ownership. Oasis Parcel combines confidential compute with blockchain technology to create a secure and privacy-preserving trust layer for data. Bitmark sees Parcel as critical in achieving its mission and is now integrating it into its two products, Feral File and Autonomy.
Feral File — the online gallery for exhibiting, curating, and collecting digital media
Feral File is a home for the new media community. The platform hosts curated online exhibitions of file-based art. Recently, Feral File announced the gallery’s ninth exhibition featuring artworks by media artist Refik Anadol, who has trained a unique AI model with metadata from The Museum of Modern Art’s (MoMA) unparalleled collection. Other notable exhibitions from Feral File include –GRAPH, an exhibition of software art and plotter drawings, curated by Casey Reas, and Field Guide, generative artworks that explore the process of creation, curated by Jason Bailey. Each artwork was made available as NFTs to collectors.
Feral File is important to artists as it provides a secure and creative-vision safe space to display and sell art to collectors. Through the integration with Oasis Parcel, privacy and data tokenization features are brought. This means that artists can better control the authentication process of how people download their full artwork and maintain full provenance over how the art is created and displayed.
“Feral File is about building a sustainable, curated ecosystem for digital art that is driven by the long-term interests of our artists, curators, and collectors. Today, however, digital formats are notoriously fragile because the computers that store the artwork become inaccessible, or the software needed to view the artwork becomes obsolete. NFTs and networked storage further complicate digital preservation, but they also create new possibilities. This is why Feral File is so excited to integrate Parcel and work with Oasis Network to help the entire ecosystem preserve and authenticate digital art.” Casey Reas, Artist-Founder Feral File
For collectors, the exhibition space provides a place to view, purchase and enjoy high-quality digital art in the exact way the artist intended. In the future, Feral File will use the features of Oasis Parcel to enable cross-chain transfers of their NFTs.
Autonomy the NFT gallery for your phone, with large ambitions
Autonomy is a mobile app created to be a home for all your NFT art and other collectibles — a seamless, customizable way to enjoy your collection. Autonomy allows users to store NFTs safely, securely, and sustainably over long periods. The app uses the Parcel ParaTime to store NFTs securely and enable computation on them, in a confidential environment, without ever revealing the underlying data.
“Oasis Network is the ideal partner to work with to bring authentication and privacy to NFTs but also allow for new use cases in the future that expand from art into all types of assets. In 2022, you will see us help individuals control their music and personal data. Our mission is to help each of us unlock the value of our assets, to “Be Your Own Gatekeeper” so Parcel and Oasis Network is the ideal platform to realize all that.” said Sean Moss-Pultz, CEO of Bitmark
Using Parcel, Autonomy gives its users a truly secure way to:
- Store their digital assets
- Govern how those assets are used and viewed
- Enable computation on the assets, e.g., to verify ownership, share the asset contents without revealing it
- Maintain a record of how each of their assets has been used
The problem Autonomy solves is at first glance a simple one — how do we store digital assets safely, securely, sustainably, and privately over long periods of time, but still be able to reveal them when necessary?
Just like the wallet you carry around with you every day, so you don’t reveal your card number to everyone you walk by on the street. Why would you want to reveal your collection of high-value digital assets to everyone with access to a computer?
It isn’t only your digital art collection that you might want to keep private. As we’ve said in our article the Billion dollar data opportunity, as we pointed out about what our friends at MetaMirror are building. NFTs are not just going to be media like art, videos, or text; they can and will be the data we all create every day.
Our shared vision
Data-backed NFTs will absolutely change the game when it comes to generating passive income as an individual on a massive scale. It will come with significant security dangers though. This is why storing, safely, securely, and privately all your data-backed assets become exponentially more important. As we flip that model on its head where data ownership moves from centralized entities to decentralized individuals, security and privacy become critically essential to the trust in the system. This is why we believe the problem Autonomy solves goes beyond just storage and display.
