Geneva, New York, Madrid –January 27, 2021 – WISeKey International Holding, a leading cybersecurity, IoT Blockchain company, announced during the Blockchain Conference in NY “Trends in the World of NFTs and Crypto” hosted by M-Vest, the release of the new version of WISe.ART NFT Marketplace with trusted NFTs from new artists.
WISeKey’s CEO Carlos Moreira announced the release of the new WISe.ART version 2.0 during the “Go to market strategies” panel which was moderated by Maxim’s research analyst Allen Klee.
During the panel Mr. Moreira explained the uniqueness of the WISe.ART platform which is secured by WISeKey’s various security technologies enabling the authentication of digital identity based NFTs, physical objects as well as digital assets, in a safe end-to-end process. The WISe.ART platform offers users full control of their WISeID NFT, while other NFTs must request access to identity information and WISeID NFTs users then can decide by themselves what level of information they wish to share.
The new WISe.ART 2.0 version also includes new features providing art collectors and artists both, a secure marketplace and platform where NFT buyers and sellers can easily connect their crypto wallets to instantly purchase or list their NFTs for sale. WISeKey has added the support of Polygon and CasperLabs blockchains, drastically reducing and even eliminating gas fees for creators, buyers and sellers on the WISe.ART marketplace. WISe.ART is working on cross-blockchain support, enabling a truly open data economy with the support of Ethereum, Polygon and CasperLabs and gradually add new chains so to ensure interoperability and scalability as part of WISeKey’s overall strategy to act as a leading platform of the Web3.0 revolution.
The new design of the WISe.Art platform ensures that besides an authenticated and signed version of the actual digital asset, an irreversible link to a physical object is set up, in addition to proof of ownership, provenance and a set of contracts describing future use and monetization streams, if relevant.
The NFT tokenization uses the WISeKey registered patent application “System and Method for Providing Persistent Authenticatable NFT” in the USA. With this method, NFTs have increased in value and will hold their value for a long-term.

New artists joining the WISe.ART NFT Marketplace that increasingly see a future for the tokens that upends the economics of content creation and influence on the internet.
New artists added into the platform include names such as:
Evan Kareem:
Evan Kareem has been drawing traditionally and digitally for many years. The style of his art usually focusses on abstract division, specifically in combining colors and geometric patterns and taking patterns from nature, natural phenomenon and landscapes and portraying those using various unusual ways. Although he never could get into to art school but took a slightly different route, he studied Drama and Performance Arts in college and studied Computer Science in University of Sheffield Hallam in the United Kingdom, which personally he does realize that it is a strange combination even till this day. He spent many days understanding computer programming but he continued to experiment with new tools to always find out how to generate art in a new way. What besides art interests him is Quantum Physics and the fascinating mind-bending topics that it entails.
Tina Buchholtz:
As per Tina Buchholtz, “Painting has always been part of my life and whilst my background lies in figurative painting, the more I worked, the more I was fascinated with the subject of color in its own right. Gradually, the landscapes dissolved, in favor of landscape-inspired color fields and clouds. So, I can honestly say that abstraction discovered me, rather than the other way around, perhaps as a logical conclusion of my own development and maturity. Having my own artistic ‘signature’ and unique style are non-negotiable for me – I developed my own techniques almost from the beginning as I began to experiment with my spatula tool. Some of my works explore political developments (e.g., Exodus, Ground Offensive), or emotions and memories, so a spectrum between relative objectivity and personal subjectivity. For me uniqueness, my own personal signature, is crucial, as is authenticity. I am also very excited about the interaction between a work and the viewer. A painting can trigger so many associations, link to music, personal memories and so much more. This is what I experience in conversations with viewers, collectors, and mere onlookers.”
Patrick Hourcade: Photographer, Video artist, Sculptor & Author
Throughout the 80s and 90s, Patrick, heavily invested in 18th Century design was at the helm as the Art Director for Vogue Paris. He soon became very attached to Karl Lagerfeld and acted as his personal advisor for over twenty years. In 2011, he held its first solo photography show “La Puissance d’Aimer » at the Salpëtrière in Paris. The shows kept on coming in 2014 « La Nuit, Pouvoir de l’Obscur » at the Cordeliers in Paris, in 2017 « La Nuit Rodin » at the Rodin Museum in Paris, in 2019 a sculpture show « Les Rubans Éphémères » at the Chateau de Vaux le Vicomte, in 2021 another photography exhibition « Versailles Nuit » at the Château de Versailles. His book on Karl Lagerfeld, edited by Flammarion, is currently on the shelves.

This song was recorded in 8 studios in 3 countries. (May to October 2021).

Even Steve Wozniak chipped in by giving his advice on climate change.”
Leila Fisher:
