Minted | DOKUMENTALE 2024

In the organizer's words:

Minted
Nicholas Bruckman / Netherlands, Canada, USA, Nigeria, Cuba / 2023 / 90 min. / German premiere

When Beeple, a relatively unknown artist at the time, sold a digital artwork for 69 million dollars three years ago, the media around the world reported on the sensation. The beginning of the NFT art industry marks the biggest turning point in the history of modern art and creates completely new dynamics between commerce, art and digital technology. Through exclusive interviews and archive footage, director Nicholas Bruckmann gives us a look behind the scenes and takes us into the living room of American artist Beeple and into the moment of the sale that changed more than just his life.
