what's feral file?
Feral File is an online gallery, marketplace, and publisher dedicated to curating and exhibiting cutting-edge digital and software-based art, primarily through non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and blockchain editions. It serves as a platform for the new media art community to innovate in art collecting by bridging traditional curation with decentralized technologies, enabling artists to release limited-edition works on blockchains like Tezos and Ethereum. Key innovations include hybrid exhibition formats that combine generative algorithms, AI-driven creations, and interactive digital experiences, often featuring proof-of-concept smart contracts for artist editions. The platform targets collectors, artists, and enthusiasts in the crypto art ecosystem, positioning itself as a pioneer in post-NFT crash digital art markets by emphasizing cultural preservation and community-driven curation. Notable partnerships include collaborations with artists like Casey Reas (co-founder), Refik Anadol, and platforms such as Art Blocks and fxhash, enhancing its role in the broader generative art and Web3 cultural landscape.
Feral file is part of a suggestion for a digital art storage best practices consortium.
