- I believe that there are early movements towards Web3 in the art market today compared to 12-24 months ago. There are a few pioneers who are exploring this space, and are likely to pave the way for others to follow. After the correction in the NFT market, we see more traditional artists and art market players working with some of these entities that are exploring Web3. The main challenge the art market is facing, is the general slow adoption of new technology, and although this changed during the Covid-pandemic, it is lagging other industries.

- One area that has seen significant growth is the use of Tezos for digital art ownership. While some may see it as a simple use case, for art collectors it is a meaningful way to enjoy their collection. The ability to own digital art has become increasingly important, and the use of NFTs has made it possible to own digital artwork just as one would own a physical piece.

But it's not just digital art that has the potential for growth on Tezos. Gaming use cases are also gaining popularity. Tezos' emphasis on creativity and design has attracted artists and developers who are working together to create polished and usable experiences.

In analyzing the Tezos ecosystem, I draw parallels to the success of Apple. While there are numerous reasons for Apple's triumph, their ability to create a world that nurtures and facilitates designers and creatives to create exceptional products is certainly noteworthy. In a similar fashion, the Tezos ecosystem has fostered a community of talented artists and creatives who will undoubtedly drive the development of top-notch products. These individuals will collaborate with competent engineers and teams to ensure that usability and polish are priorities in everything they build within the ecosystem. The overlap between the gaming and artistic communities within Tezos is particularly intriguing, and it is likely that future games within the ecosystem will benefit from the talents of the current artists and creators.

- I predict that technology will become more integral to businesses in general. We have already seen that with the usage of digital tools for sales and social media. These technologies became part of the art market's very infrastructure, and I believe this trend will continue in different aspects and sectors.

The art market is one of the few sectors where digitization has been slow. I foresee that major innovations will come mostly from the industry itself, but this will rely on the expertise of external parties. So I look forward to seeing more collaborations between the art industry and external expertise to develop it.

The art and technology space is one which has a lot of green fields waiting to be changed. Many limitations up to now were related to the scalability of the software and the hardware. A lot more will develop over the next ten years, because the software and the hardware are getting much better.

- My advice is to be in touch with reality, meaning that one should clearly understand the needs of his/her potential customers. I would also like to highlight the importance of feedback and accepting it professionally. I would also advise using trends and hype for the needs of your own company, but not as the only driver of success - you need to be aware of where the party is, but also you need to know when the party's over, and to follow closely where the next party is starting. For example, the NFT boom was a great time for ALL.ART and VR-All-Art that brought a lot of oppor- tunities and visibility.

- I would like to see more institutional support for generative art. This includes more museums and galleries featuring generative art, as well as more grants and funding opportunities for generative artists. This support can help legitimize generative art as a recognized form of art.

In addition, I hope to see continued advancements in technology that will push the boundaries of what is possible with generative art. As technology improves, I believe that generative art will become even more complex, immersive, and interactive, allowing for even more creative expression. Overall, I see a bright future for generative art, and I hope to see it continue to grow and evolve over the next five years and beyond.

- First of all, be product driven and listen to what is needed in the community. Second one, avoid hype and stay grounded — this is crucial to maintain a sustainable and long-lasting business. Engaging with people and being visible in the community can also help build trust and credibility. And when it comes to marketing, focusing on one channel and doing it well is often more effective than spreading yourself too thin across multiple channels.
