HOME OF PIONEERING ART
Our mission is to present truly pioneering artworks, instead of the copycats and hype-makers. The history of NFTs is mostly unwritten, until now, which makes you feel unsure about their true value. This can be challenging to navigate and that's why we work closely with digital art specialists, curators, art historians, institutions, and writers. Over the past years, elementum established curated programming with a particular focus on historically relevant NFTs created by the great visionaries of the modern and contemporary era. We empower curators and artists, showcasing transformative art as NFTs and making them easy to collect.
ONLY CURATED ART
In times of NFT boom, to discover and collect the trailblazers, you need a guide, in order to know which artworks are compelling and important, and why. Here lies the crucial role of our curators, who make the difference. They select and propose emerging and established new media artists, which consequently makes the elementum NFT drops an outstanding assembly of exceptional art.

HONORING OUR ARTISTS
The elementum family consists of pioneering NFT artists who engage in digital and new media art. We currently work with over 50 artists who can connect their own customized Manifold smart contracts with individual ASCII art, token name, and token symbol. This allows them to take full ownership of the smart contracts used for their collections. There is no art without artist; therefore promoting our artists online and offline at exhibitions, and in pop-up spaces, remains at the heart of our activities.
USER FRIENDLY PLATFORM
One of our main goals is to simplify the art experience in terms of purchasing and displaying: You can start and enjoy your NFT collection - even without a crypto wallet - while we take care of the rest. Simply browse our collection and purchase with a credit card (or a crypto wallet); then you can have access to it from anywhere, and display it on any connected device (Swisscom TV only - more to come).
