NFT Art , by nobokov on Nov 4, 2021 16:23:29 GMT 1, It's really not an effective argument to attack those who disagree. Thus far, you've presented concrete evidence that the medium is in its infancy and only suggested two artists I think. More artists presented would be useful.
Anyhow, I followed Daata Editions and Sedition in the past, but none of it drew me to put actual money in it. Digital art just isn't compelling enough for me in my mind to invest in because it's not easily displayed and I don't want to leave the TV on just to display a looping video. Even with all the love for Arthur Jafa's love is the message last year and renewed love for Nam June Paik, I just don't see the appeal.
I agree that Sedition is very mediocre. Feral File is more on point, and may be more to your liking if you are the contemporary art type.

NFT Art , by artylang on Nov 4, 2021 16:30:23 GMT 1, Besides John's work my other focus is on generative art. Art that is created using an algorithm written by an artist in code. A lot of it is shit, too. Just rehashed canonized minimalism made with code instead of a brush. That said, there is gold in them there hills, too.
A few of my favorites are:
Casey Reas: co-created processing. A programming language that nearly every artist that works in code uses today to make work
Alexis Andre: His project 720 minutes on the Artblocks platform to me is one of the more interesting applications for a generative nft. He wrote an algorithm to create 720 unique clocks. One for each minute in a 12 hour cycle. Each "clock" is given a designated minute where for 60 seconds the owner is presented with a light show. My wife and I use it as a moment to connect. As someone who loves time as a theme in art, this ticks all the boxes for me. Aesthetic beauty and conceptual depth. www.artblocks.io/project/27
Frederick Vanhoutte: Creates futuristic cityscapes using custom made software and algorithms. His work is instantly recognizable as his own and even with his job as a physics phd working in a hospital specializing in radiation he is pushing his practice on nearly a daily basis. objkt.com/profile/tz1TSWEDs9wcBx2KiRzVzyzECsNpRiZaLJ1D/creations?page=8
these are massive images and really benefit from zooming in.
This is just the tip of the ice berg.
Algorithmically generated art is really interesting to me.
I never believed this would be me, but here we are. I put a new work on my kitchen tv everyday like a rotating canvas. After almost a year in this space I cant see myself buying physical art ever again.

Thus far, you've presented concrete evidence that the medium is in its infancy and only suggested two artists I think. More artists presented would be useful. This argument is effective when 3-4 vocal users in this thread say they enjoy the work of John Karel, while 2-3 vocal users ridicule the art as "gaudy trash" and provide no analysis as to why the art is bad. Perhaps your opinion is not the one held by the majority of art fans? That seems to be the case based on the small sample size in this thread. To strike the art down as bad given the response in this thread, standing on its own devoid of anything else, seems very unintelligent and borderline disingenuous. Just say you hate NFTs. I think that when something is really bad, sometimes you really don't need to present wordy analysis on why it is bad. I'm not attacking you to say that I think it's gaudy trash. It's just an opinion.
Thus far, I haven't seen any appeal for NFT art beyond trying to make money. From what I've seen, the imagery that's popular doesn't compare to physical paintings. Why would someone buy a gif of a monkey when they could buy a Richter? It's just ridiculous to me.

How do you display it? At one point I was thinking of getting that Samsung Frame TV, but the reviews for the quality of the tv itself weren't very good. Do they have good digital frames these days for displaying this stuff? |

It seems like the majority of users in here enjoy the art of John Karel, so it would be great if we could discuss that art without you interjecting insults and providing no other contributions. Are you really gonna make us have a group DM because you can't stop doing this?

Are you really gonna make us have a group DM because you can't stop doing this? A lot of these artists seem to be putting out art that looks like they were made in the 80s. Do you know if that's they're intent to replicate that style or is that because of the limitations the technology available to these artists? |

I really feel like we are living through a special time. A lot like how a lot of us felt street art was going to change the world back in 2006. It feels like a moment of peaking creativity and possibility, all hype and money aside. Im watching artists get PAID. Im seeing artists in third world areas get PAID and feed their families or more. I see this everyday in this space. Everyday in this space entire communities of thousands of people wish each other good morning and post the rally cry of crypto/nft WAGMI (we're all gonna make it). Theres something about that, that's really attractive to me. In a cold, shitty world where there isnt much to be hopeful about, it feels like there is something special here.

How do you display it? At one point I was thinking of getting that Samsung Frame TV, but the reviews for the quality of the tv itself weren't very good. Do they have good digital frames these days for displaying this stuff? I am not a hardware expert at all. We have a ~40" led tv in our kitchen and i hdmi my laptop into it. Once apple puts the new m1x in the mini, Ill get one of those and tape it to the back of the tv. My current set up cant handle some of the more demanding generative artworks. For ex Solvency by, Ezra Miller. You need like a 16gig video card minimum to view. So the tech to view is still catching up to the work these guys are producing. This project is a set of 500 algorithmically generated works that basically function as never ending and never repeating living digital paintings. They live on chain, so no data needs to be stored on your computer, which is another aspect of some of the most interesting generative art. All the code required to compile the work lives on-chain. As long as ethereum survives the art can always be reconstructed. www.solvency.art/ these are amazing full screen if your computer can handle it or projected on a wall.

I expect you're just trying to be condescendingly helpful.

Now onto the NFT. Thought Mr Brainwash was bad... These NFTs arent digital art at all. They are digital Pokémon cards ha ha. However they are quite addictive to buy.
Started buying some icon bears? Anyone else seen these?
