I’d say the latest South Park episode also does a fantastic job of breaking down NFTs for the layman

I’d say the latest South Park episode also does a fantastic job of breaking down NFTs for the layman Brian Eno's take:
"I’ve been approached several times to ‘make an NFT’. So far nothing has convinced me that there is anything worth making in that arena.
‘Worth making’ for me implies bringing something into existence that adds value to the world, not just to a bank account. If I had primarily wanted to make money I would have had a different career as a different kind of person. I probably wouldn’t have chosen to be an artist.
NFTs seem to me just a way for artists to get a little piece of the action from global capitalism, our own cute little version of financialisation. How sweet – now artists can become little capitalist assholes as well."

Thanks for posting that. Shocking how flimsy the whole system is!

Usually always agree with Brad. While I think he makes a lot of good points (there is a ton of shit in the nft space), he fails to highlight any of the real use cases. He also negates all the artists that have been able to support themselves through their work since discovering nfts as a method of distribution.

NFT Art , by Daniel Silk on Jan 3, 2022 15:16:49 GMT 1, Do you think a NFT release is good or bad for an Artists image? Does it effect your opinion of the Artist?
In my opinion I think an Artist starting to do NFT releases has a negative effect on my opinion of them as an Artist.

NFT Art , by Daniel Silk on Jan 3, 2022 15:30:02 GMT 1, I think NFT used alongside an actual piece of art on paper or canvas can be a good thing, but a pure NFT as a piece or art with value? Nah! I feel it’s just being hyped up by flipper types as the latest way to scam people. I predict it will go on for a few years before collapsing, while those who have chosen to stick to buying the traditional paper and canvas might see a flat period in values and then a sudden rise when the NFT crash comes. Artists are being tempted by the large numbers being talked about, but what’s the cost to their reputation if it all goes tits up?
That’s just my opinion,
What do you think will happen to NFT in the long run?

NFT Art , by Acme Thunderer on Jan 3, 2022 16:06:56 GMT 1, Here is a balanced view, rather than one right answer.
Feel free to add other pros and cons to the list as well as this is a starter…
PROS
- Can track ownership on blockchain
- Makes established artists money
- Makes established galleries money
- Might make buyers money
- A way of spending crypto currency
- Low set up costs for new artists (if not producing physical items)
- Can be used as an avatar on social media
- Exciting future as unknown where it will go in the next 1-2 years
CONS
- Artist is not producing as much physical work
- Buyers can lose money as this is a gamble (i.e. only bet what you can afford to lose)
- Not environmentally friendly
- Difficult for new / talented artists to establish themselves
- More for the tech savvy / confident
- It is not as appealing to those why like art on their walls
- Hyping by some people on UAA to make money
- Unregulated and potential to be restricted (due to money laundering / tax evasion / governments)

NFT Art , by New Wave Dave on Jan 3, 2022 16:14:30 GMT 1, I think it depends on how they tackle the NFT experience. If they embrace it well, offer something of interest or is culturally significant, understands the NFT marketplace and creates something that has value and desirability at the end of the day, I think it will only help them. It won't hurt with most of their present base (how many fans really got turned off by Hirst's jump into the NFT market, long term?) and will extend their name to an entirely new market (NFT collectors, etc.)
I think the first question is HOW MUCH will it help/hurt? Danny Cole has a very successful NFT collection (Creature World). Has this affected his IRL art prices? Not sure. Ron English, the exact opposite. NFTs didn't even sell out, looked totally phoned in. Will it affect his long term standing in the art scene? Probably not much.
I think the second question is how much will it affect the artists themselves, mostly negatively? i've seen some artists turn into NFT shillers overnight which is a really bad look. I'm not very familiar with Steven Rae's work (Brian Vomit) but the guy's twitter feed was littered with NFT shill talk all day long (WGMI! To the moon). Still is. Hard to retain a semblance of commitment to artistic expression when you've been reduced to a pitchman all day long in front of the world.

NFT Art , by That Print Guy on Jan 3, 2022 17:11:27 GMT 1, As far as I can see, NFTs are all about making money. Nobody really cares if the 'art' is good or bad. NFTs are simply the new stocks and shares. The only benefit I can see from NFTs are that artists can produce short animations which is not easy to produce as an artwork you can hang on your wall at home. But then most NFT artists aren't really interested in animations anyway.
making money. When you are an artist by trade. Sounds like a logical step to take

NFT Art , by New Wave Dave on Jan 3, 2022 17:23:32 GMT 1, I think it's important to make the distinction between an NFT project and just releasing individual pieces of art as NFTs.
When buying into an NFT project, you are expecting a team to actively and continually increase the value of those NFTs, especially short-term. This is much more like a stock.
When buying 1-off NFTs with only a connection to the artist and not a project, I think it's really not much different than buying IRL. I think the only difference is it's going to be much less rewarding owning a jpeg than a physical item, and its current value is going to be always on display and I'm not sure that's good for the psyche.

Valid point about them being NFT projects with teams. We see timelines/roadmaps about what is going to happen after launch but how long can they be supported for, or is there an exit strategy? Take Edgar Plans project for example - they have a team of 12 already, but how long can it be sustainable to employ these people? From what I can see from DH/Heni, it is expected that this will operate as a club with member benefits. |

I think the 2 factors to consider in Poe's situation is what happens if it isn't successful (as you mention, an exit strategy)? What if the value doesn't go into the 1ETH plus range after few months? I doubt they have considered that.
But more importantly, what if it is successful? His participation will be mandatory going forward. It's going to be like a second job for him.
I think the only really successful NFT artists will be the ones that jump into it feet first and treat it as their prime objective going forward or those that build a very limited project scope (like Hirst). I would suggest for most trad artists they go the second route, unless they enjoy community organization and shilling all day long.

I would say look at Doodles as a good comparison as it was created by an established artist like Poe with a dev team behind it. With the Doodles, however, the team were all seasoned NFT devs with a strong track record. Not sure Poe's team but it looks good.

Mix it up i guess, but does seem a cash cow
I do prefer old school, hang art on the wall, though I now have so much framed stuff, I can't hang anymore. But it's my hobby and passion, I hate shoving or keeping stuff in a tube or portfolio. So what do i do?
Loads of NFT's on the screen of the TV with a 10 second loop? Is this the way forward? When i work out how to do it of course.

Struggling to see the artistic value in isolation but some of the projects look exciting. For example, links to gaming and media etc.
Hirst’ s the currency still feels unique though so to the moon…

other than the Hirst one I’ve been unimpressed by the whole NFT thing. I didn’t apply for the Hirst either but quite enjoyed watching people debate on whether to sell or not. What it seemed like was a good opportunity albeit drawn out to own a og Hirst. Edgar plans for example now gets discussed in monetary terms which puts me off him as a artist if I’m being honest. It’s just another currency and has f uck all to do with art from where I’m sitting.

Rather than using Kickstarter or similar where you'll drop 20% of the money or so to the platform, artists get a chance to build a community and fund whatever big scale art projects they have. And if the project value increase, artists benefit from it!
Hope more well-thought projects like this one kick in

An artist who draw, make canvas .... how can she/ be be happy with an jpeg ? (1st "Cons" of Acme Thunderer)
Something free (*.jpeg) become value-able.
Give people what they want.(You know where it come from)
Or maybe if you're happy with your background screen cost some $ > $$$$$, that's cool, you find something that make you happy.(7th "PROS" of Acme Thunderer)((You facebook profil will cost money right know.  )
BTW, its crazy how many people are doing ads with those Plan's NFT... You can't get a draw/ canvas, shut up right know you can have a work from him...

With that said, I have no problem if a ‘factory artist’ (Hirst, Murakami, etc) goes down this road as it falls in line with what they have always done.
If a street artist that has preached about anti-capitalism, power to the people, their art is for everyone to enjoy, etc then I do find it very hypocritical.
