about – OFUTURE zone

OFUTUREzone is a new view on art, a look into the future. We are a digital gallery fuelled by the love to modern art, crossing the boundaries of what was known in the past.

OFUTUREzone is a home for talented artists from all over the world. Our goal is to present the artistry of digital works, that thanks to the NFT have a great opportunity to exist as original and distinctive works. We are proud with our art in many different dimensions, since many years our priority is connecting art with business. Hand by hand with the artists we look bravely into the future.

Let’s get to know each other…

2013

Czapski Art Foundation’s vocation to life, characterised by aiming to help artists in their career as well as their art progress and educational path. Since the beginning, our actions are directed to local and global recipients.

2014 / 2015 / 2016

Development of collaborations with cultural organisations and organising many art exhibitions with even a greater international range, including for instance the University of Art, National Museum and the Ministry of Culture.

2017

The launch of the Art Market Academy project collaborating with the University of Economy as a source of knowledge on the artists’ conditions, their creating techniques and art itself, in the context of contemporary perspectives and constant changes in the world.

2018

Establishment of the OFUTUREzone project, reinforced by an international exhibition with the participation of many outstanding artists. The goal of the exhibition was the presentation of the VR art (collaboration with HTC VIVE), digital statues, holoart, and graphics created by a robotic arm (collaboration with KUKA).

2019

An improvement of the Foundation and a decision of the management council for all actions to be directed to digital art. For the first time ever, an international competition of Crystal Canvas organised by the Foundation, dedicated to Concept Art for artists from the gaming industry.

2020 / 2021

Creation of a virtual gallery for artists, following the demands of the art market during the pandemic (AppleStore & GooglePlay). Next editions of the Crystal Canvas Prize and the evolution of the CryptoArt together with the NFT boom resulted in the launch of a curatorial internet virtual gallery.

1. What is OFUTUREzone?

We are a group of enthusiasts of digital art. We came up with Oz out of the need to share and bring to the world the possibilities of digital creativity and the craftsmanship of digital artists. Oz is an online gallery with digital works secured with NFT certificates of authenticity. We use OpenSea and CXIP, and the cryptocurrency we use is Ethereum. Our mission is to create an easy-to-use gallery where transactions for both the creator and collector are cheap and transparent.

2. What is an NFT?

An NFT is a kind of a non-exchangeable cryptocurrency token that works on blockchain-based smart contracts. Typically this is the Ethereum blockchain, but there are others as well.

Non-exchangeable tokens are used to create a unique digital code, as well as digital ownership, and the ability to collaborate and cross-platform resources.

3. What is the tokenisation of artworks?

Tokenisation is primarily used to record the origin of the artwork, it is the so-called certificate of authenticity. The token is a cryptographic signature of the artist or gallery.

The tokens have eliminated the plagiarism problem because they are used to verify copyright. Tokenisation also allows for effective and safe trade of works of art. Each sale of an NFT work brings benefits to the owner of the artwork, i.e. a percentage of subsequent sales. This is a very attractive and revolutionary page for the re-sale of NFT artworks.

4. Do I have to know blockchain and crypto at all?

No, we will provide all service in this regard.

5. Should I have a crypto wallet?

This is not necessary if you do not want to settle in crypto.

6. How can I buy paintings from Oz?

The fastest way is via the payment link for the specific artwork, or you can always contact us.

7. Why are tokens made on OpenSea?

OpenSea is the world’s largest marketplace, decentralised market for buying and selling NFT. It is an intelligent and stable NFT contracting platform used to serve the digital market.

8. What are the conditions of cooperation OFUTUREzone vs artist?

You will receive all the conditions by e-mail after completing the form.

9. Can I sell the existing NFT?

Yes.

10. How will my artwork end up in the gallery?

There are two options:

You give us with your artwork and we do the NFT,
You make the NFT yourself and pass it on to us.

All activities are based on a legal agreement between the gallery and the artist.

11. Can a artwork be given an NFT more than once?

NO. We reserve the right to limit the number of tokens for one artwork. If an artist is found plagiarising the same artwork, access to the gallery will be restricted.

12. How to become an artist of Oz?

To apply as an artist, please complete the application form.

Do it the best you can. Profiles without an art portfolio or social media links will be rejected.

13. Can I settle payments in a currency other than crypto?

We prefer settling payments in cryptocurrency, but if you prefer Euro or Dollars, it is possible.

14. Can I reverse a concluded transaction?

Blockchain transactions are irreversible, so all sales are final.

15. Is OFUTUREzone carrying out any carbon footprint-lowering activities, etc?

Yes, the environment is very important to us. Our Foundation officially supports the grey wolf population (WWF). In addition, we plant a new tree for every artwork sold (EcoTree).
