Artists in Bali respond to NFT craze

A non-fungible token (NFT) can authenticate digital assets like JPEG, GIF or MP4 files on a
blockchain and thereby certify their originality and ownership. Royalties can be locked into
contracts, so that artists receive cryptocurrency payments each time the NFT is resold after the
initial sale.
The NFT phenomenon has spread to Bali, and the The Jakarta Post talks with two artists quick to
respond to what has been referred to as the crypto art craze. Ida Bagus Ratu Antoni Putra, -
Monez - is a Balinese artist and design studio proprietor who has created digital illustrations for
15 years. His clients include Apple, Starbucks and Walt Disney Indonesia. “Piracy and the need
to protect my work is one of the main reasons I got into NFTs,” said the Bachelor and Masters of
Arts graduate of the Indonesian Art Institute (ISI) Denpasar. In 2018, Monez was embroiled in a
publicized plagiarism case when another artist copied his mural in a Denpasar eatery onto walls
in two other city restaurants.
"As a designer, I follow changes and trends. I have finally uploaded two crypto artworks, Dream
Valley and Circus Clown, one a lighthearted Bali nature-inspired scenario, the latter an
intimidating monster beating a drum. It's hard to imagine why people would buy these files.
Yet, they buy, not only for good art but also as an investment. The development of NFT offers
new hope for digital artists," said Monez, who has an international Instagram following and has
exhibited physical artworks in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and the United States.
