Hiding Secrets: Steganography in Digital Arts and NFTs

“If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.”
― George Orwell, 1984

The world of art has always been full of secrets; trying to achieve powerful meanings or sometimes by hiding real-life secrets, messages, treasures, tributes, or techniques... Artists love to put their marks into their art to make them memorable. For example, take software cracking teams - they make NFO ASCII art files for increasing respect in the scene.

But what happens when the whole world, including the art world, enters into the technological revolution?

Blockchain, mixed reality, quantum computing, NFTs, and AI construct a whole new generation where the meaning of art itself has changed. Modern technologies have merged virtual reality with actual reality.

If the world changes, we must find (cool) ways to adapt to it. Definitely, the world of Non Fungible Tokens took over the scene by converting digital formats like JPG, PNG, GIF, GLB, GLTF, MP3, MP4 into something uncopiable, unique.
