Why Uncontaminated

The first online platform dedicated to the exchange, sale, and promotion of photographic and video art thanks to Blockchain Technology, uncontaminated.co is constantly evolving to stay up to date with the times. Over the past six months, we have recruited over 50 artists, spanning from every type of genre, from fashion to documentary, to reportage to conceptual, landscape, street photography and so on…our selection includes both emerging, established, and notorious international artists currently active and part of an ever-changing market.

We focused on headhunting fine art photographers from around the world, giving our platform the primate for a high standard in quality in the NFT sphere, separating it from other platforms which deal with digital art in general. Furthermore, the fact that all our artists are verified beforehand, through a specific checking system, is a guarantee for future collectors that they will receive unique works of art from true artists. 

Thanks to NFT technology, the works of art which will be sold and traded on the marketplace are certified through the unique identifier that records ownership of a digital asset on the Blockchain, a public register, traceable and accessible by both collectors and artists. This technology is ‘a means to an end’, in other words, an extremely efficient way to promote art, similarly to the traditional art system but making it much simpler to deal with and make transactions. 

The fact is, we put collectors directly into contact with artists without intermediaries, in an ‘uncontaminated’ space. Artists establish a first sale price on the marketplace, then the bid begins and registered collectors can start bidding just like in a traditional auction house. Once the purchase is made, they can resell the work of art as they are in effect the proprietors of the certified token. This is also a substantial advantage for the artist who can make a profit after each successive sale thanks to the royalties attached to the work of art.

Over the past six months, we have seen the explosion of NFTs in all spheres from furniture, to videos, to fashion, digital art, memes, Twitter, etc..in other words, NFTs are here to stay and thanks to the birth of Meta they will become an ever-present part of the digital ecosystem we deal with. To invest in NFTs is not ‘making a leap of faith’ but rather, being able to look the future directly in the eye and be at the forefront of the art market, making a profit whilst upholding artists and quality works of art. 

The art market has embraced NFTs as an innovative system with which to promote and exchange works of art. Established institutions such as Christie’s and the National Gallery have adopted NFTs and famous artists are fast creating NFT collections to sell on the market. Forward-thinking collectors from around the world have embraced this new technology wholeheartedly, and everyday new systems in which to trade and generate NFTs emerge.

Having recently opened this platform to collectors, the first collectors who register will benefit from a series of exclusive benefits. Some of these include no transaction fees on the first 1,000 transactions in the marketplace, as well as no subscription fees. Uncontaminated is inclusive and aims to include and promote collectors from around the world thanks to its extremely efficient registration process where both the artist and the collector are protected.

Interested collectors will be able to buy, trade, resell and make a bid on high-quality photographic and video art. We live in the era of the visual image, both moving and still. But what distinguishes our platform from others, is that we provide true works of art to collectors, similarly to what you might find in an art gallery or auction house, the only difference is that we employ a new Avant-guard technology (NFTs) which makes the whole process, certified, fast, easy and efficient. 

Uncontaminated aims to foster a bilateral relationship: between the collector the artist and successive collectors. Both categories will benefit by adhering to an ever-present system that will stimulate transactions in the art market on a daily basis. Our platform will put into contact emerging artists, established artists with art connoisseurs, new collectors, and aficionados from around the world encouraging diversity and inclusiveness whilst generating important forms of artistic revenue.
