The Art World's First: Blockchain and AI Create a Digital Art Provenance

To provide a trustworthy art trading environment for collectors, Taiwan Auction House has partnered with ArtRecord Co., Ltd. to become the first in the industry to create scientific evidence of an artwork's "originality." They use AI technology to record and identify the artwork's unique features, then store this data on a public blockchain, creating a digital provenance authenticated by the artist. This offers powerful proof for collectors.

AI Recognition, Scientific Art Verification

Moving beyond traditional expert appraisals, Taiwan Auction House uses innovative AI technology to scan and record special features of an original piece. Data is collected using a mobile phone with a microscope attachment, which serves as a future reference for verifying authenticity. This scientific evidence safeguards against forgeries. Now, collectors can use this trusted technology to authenticate an artwork in just five simple steps, eliminating the need for cumbersome manual processes.

Blockchain Technology, Preserving Artwork Features

To reduce the risk of artwork being swapped, the artwork's unique features are stored on a trusted public blockchain, Ethereum. The tamper-proof nature of blockchain technology ensures data accuracy and saves time on document verification. For contemporary artworks, the artist will personally endorse the piece, and the AI-identified features and the artist's certification will be stored on the blockchain. This secures the original artwork from its source, prevents art fraud, and builds trust in art investment and collection.

Friendly and Intuitive Verification Process

The system, developed by the ART RECORD team, combines AI and blockchain technology to provide collectors with a simple and intuitive verification app. After purchasing an artwork, the collector only needs to enter the artwork's serial number. The app will automatically download the original feature data from the blockchain. Using the AI device, the collector can then scan the feature area to verify if it matches the original data. The new feature data is also uploaded to the blockchain for continuous record-keeping.
