Visitors will be able to mine one randomly selected work each during the PHOTOPIA period from 13 to 16 October. 

All incidental costs will be covered at PHOTOPIA. This means that new digital art collectors will receive a work of art by an internationally renowned artist free of charge. 

The aim of the campaign is to make NFT technology better known and accessible to photographers and photo enthusiasts alike.

In this way, PHOTOPIA Hamburg makes it easier for art enthusiasts to enter the digital art world.In so doing, the fair also becomes a pioneer internationally, as it directly brings visitors and artists together on the Web3.

Photopia

Jan C. Schlegel 

 Born in 1965 in Germany. He discovered his passion for photography at the age of 14 during a photography course at school. Schlegel soon began to solidify his preference for black-and-white portraits. With them, he not only creates artistic photographs, but also documents and preserves unique works of art - the people themselves.  None of the people photographed wears special make-up or was specially dressed before the picture was taken. Nothing was staged, nothing is faked. The only stylistic device he uses for each of his photographs is a simple grey background. This draws attention to the people, not to their circumstances. The basic message is the inner and outer beauty of the people depicted. Schlegel emphasises their uniqueness, their value and their irretrievability. With his award-winning art, he champions the specialness and individuality of cultures.
