Not certification of digital art, digital certification of art. Some people are excited about this. It is just a DRM thing, transfer of rights, records of provenance etc.

Makes sense if you think of art as an asset, which is kind of a philistine thing to do...

You are right it can also be used for digital certification of art but I actually did mean digital certification of digital art.
