The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has launched Art Links, a blockchain-powered interactive game that gamifies art history. Players can explore The Met’s collection by identifying thematic connections between artworks, earning NFT badges and real-world perks. The game is part of the museum's effort to modernize the museum-going experience by blending digital and physical experiences. In its first week, Art Links recorded nearly 20,000 plays and over 1,600 NFTs claimed, with new games set to be released every Thursday for the next three months. Additionally, Incention and Story Protocol have partnered to develop Emergence, a blockchain-powered platform that allows fans and creators to co-develop narrative universes. The project uses smart contracts to recognize and compensate contributions from users, including characters, worlds, and plotlines. The goal is to open up intellectual property to collaborative storytelling while maintaining clear licensing and revenue-sharing models. The adoption of these tools by powerhouse institutions like The Met and Hollywood demonstrates the blurring lines between creator, audience, and collector.
