The Underground Sistine Chapel by Pascal Boyart

“What best application of the blockchain technology for art patrons than the one exemplified by Pascal Boyart who fractionalized a physical fresco into NFTs, sold to finance his street art practice. The holders of the NFTs called the guardians of the chapel have been the guardian angels of this physical work that can disappear or be painted over at any given time. Watch the documentary, you’ll love it even more.“
