Abstract

The level of cultural enjoyment in Korea has improved every year, but the culture that the general public possesses artworks has not developed so much. Most artwork trading systems, from traditional ones to the latest blockchain-based ones, are designed for expensive artwork trading and are hardly accessible to the general public. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based artwork trading system that can improve the culture of the general public's art collection and contribute to the popularization of fine art. The proposed system consists of three interacted blockchains for identification, artwork registration and smart contract. The proposed system utilizes the advantages of the blockchain system for users to provide trust to each other, and introduces the concept of art notebook for artists to build trust in their own artwork. Since the proposed system builds a trust system through participants rather than experts or external organizations, it can reduce the cost of trading and deal with artworks that can be owned by the general public.

우리나라 문화 향유 수준은 매년 향상되고 있지만, 일반 대중이 예술품을 소장하는 문화는 그다지 발전하지 못하고 있다. 전통적인 예술품 거래 시스템뿐만 아니라 최신의 블록체인 기반의 예술품 거래 시스템까지 대부분의 기존 시스템들은 고가의 예술품 거래를 위해 설계되어 일반 대중이 접근하기 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 우리나라 일반 대중의 예술품 소장 문화를 개선하고, 순수 예술의 대중화에 기여할 수 있는 블록체인 기반 예술품 거래 시스템을 제안한다. 제안 시스템은 신원증명, 예술품 등록 그리고 스마트 계약을 위한 세 블록체인을 연동하여 구성된다. 제안 시스템은 블록체인 시스템의 장점을 활용하여 사용자들이 서로에 대한 신뢰를 제공할 수 있게 하고, 예술 노트라는 개념을 블록체인 시스템 내에 도입하여 예술가들이 자신의 작품에 대한 신뢰를 구축할 수 있게 한다. 제안 시스템은 전문가나 외부 기관이 아닌 시스템 참여자들을 통해 신뢰 체계가 구축되므로 비용이 절감되고, 일반 대중이 소장 가능한 작품의 거래도 이루어질 수 있다.
