NFT Art , by Lee Ellis Art on Mar 9, 2021 12:11:23 GMT 1, It's a mad concept. The moon estates example is pretty accurate. Some artists do however, send you physical pieces (although this isn't as common as you'd hope). It depends on the artist and if they're a) any good b) legit and are making a career as an artist c) have created a physical item. As mentioned before, there is a lot of awful work on there. Indeed - and this is an interesting and important distinction. I tend to agree. I think there's huge mileage and value in using blockchain tech as a proof of ownership of an actual physical item. A digital, unforgeable COA, if you will. As for exclusively digital work, well I do get that there is a problem with trying to assign ownership to items of which unlimited identical copies can be freely produced. I think blockchain could be the answer. I can't help thinking that selling 'ownership' of tweets and football touchdowns undermines the credibility of the proposition and makes the whole thing look like a money-grab. I agree it has great potential and the items such as tweets and footage could be its downfall if it continues.

It does stray into dadaism. Especially when asking the age old question... what is art? Is a tweet art or is it something else altogether. I think this is a really interesting debate.

Well said. I’ve started drawing art with invisible inks recently, which I’m planning to sell soon in this new medium. Only an idiot can’t see the value in my invisible art.
While I agree NFTs provide a great opportunity for COA, I’d personally want a physical copy to enjoy on the wall. I have no problem with digital assets (especially music) I’m just happy to sit this one out. To those who manage to make mad gainz I salute you.

What is art is certainly an interesting question, though in this case perhaps not as interesting as that of who gets to decide.
The dadaist comparison is interesting and I can see certain parallels, although (and I may well be wrong about this, and I happily defer to anyone whose art history knowledge is greater than mine, i.e. just about everyone) my understanding is that the dadaists were primarily concerned with politics and creativity, whereas the key motivation underlying the NFT movement, if it can be called that, appears to be greed.

You are absolutely right! The NFT movement does seem to be greed driven. I've been following various crypto artists on twitter and it is a lot of dick swinging - who makes what and how much something sold for. That said, it's not every artist, the better ones seem to be about creating art and the money earned is a pleasant by-product.

I was listening to Steve Aoki on clubhouse leading up to his drop on niftygateway and the only thing the room was missing was a cash register sound effect. They were doing the math in real time on how much money was being made. It was gross and a big turnoff.
That said I grabbed an NFT from Jon Burgerman which is awesome, so you take the good with the bad.

Technically there is nothing new with the medium. NFT is new but not the medium, thus pure greed driven right now and people laundering crypto to cash.

If you invested $1ks in crypto a few years ago they could be worth $100ks now - I’d say that the main source.

NFT Art , by My Name is Frank on Mar 10, 2021 9:54:50 GMT 1, Well my tuppence, I think the image based NFT purchases are interesting, but not seemingly touched on is the fact that performance art would benefit greatly from this?
Previously it was staged and thrown up paid for by sponsors/ donors. True performance art can now be performed and sold on a limited basis. I can really see the value in this.
Marina Abramovic for example, would stand to do very well should she choose to get involved for example, however with performance art there may be some issues to the art of placing a value on their work?
Still images, less so, but still of value.
The same is true of short film makers who can now independently fund production through free to stream production funded by limited edition copies of the original film.

NFT Art , by pezlow on Mar 10, 2021 11:32:41 GMT 1, Hi all
My first comment for quite a while. My views of NFTs has slightly changed over time and currently sits at the following, fully acknowledging that I am a middle aged man:
I would never say these aren't art. Artists have been, for many years, pushing at the boundaries of the definition of art and this is just another example of it. Those saying that these are not art and will never be art will no doubt have said that about Duchamp's readymades or Emin's bed.
Of course just because it is art doesn't mean you have to like it and a great number of the NFT's for sale are not pieces of art that I like or appreciate. Some are in my view frankly awful. Equally I'm beginning to see some which are very interesting and, as time goes on and more artists get involved, the cream will inevitably rise to the top in what is a different and, dare I say it, exciting genre. It will never replace painting, printmaking or sculpture but it doesn't have to.
I agree with the comment above about this offering an important opportunity for performance and video art to come to the fore. I'd love to see Marina Abramovic, one of the most exciting contemporary artists, doing something in this space.
Also many of the NFTs I have seen are a mix of sound, generally music, and art. Which is again very interesting and really pushes the boundaries of what is art and who makes it. There are some very big musicians making this art which causes a really exciting fusion between art and music.
Of course you can't talk about art, especially contemporary art, without talking about money and this is no different. Perhaps even more so given the link between NFTs and cryptocurrency. Those wanting to speculate will speculate. It is putting a lot of money into artists pockets though (especially as secondary market sales on most of the platforms given a healthy return of the fees to the artists) so it can't all be bad.
Finally I would say the concept of digital art has been around for quite a while. Indeed you can buy a limited edition digital work by Tracey Emin, Yoko Ono, Yinka Shonibare and many others for a fraction of the price of NFTs from S-Editions.
They have also previously been for sale from the Royal Academy. It's hard to understand the differential in price between these art world heavyweights and some of the NFT releases, and I guess it is down to the blockchain element of NFTs (which the s-edition pieces don't have).
Equally numerous artists have been releasing digital works for years - Julian Opie, Paul McCarthy and Bill Viola being examples. There is no new concept in the art world.

This is a great summary of your thoughts and the space👍 I think it is very early and there will be many interesting things coming out of it. What direction they will take, who knows but it is interesting. I spend hours at my computer and phone so having some digital art could be fun. I don’t for example play games where owning cross platform avatars, clothes or weapons or whatever could have value to people? Most of the pure NFT art I have seen doesn’t appeal which is fine, plenty of real world art doesn’t appeal to me either but that doesn’t mean it’s not art. Are some prices high, again it seems like it to me but that is the case with many securities and assets.
Over time the ability of artists and creators to access the end buyer directly and monetise will be great. I have seen stories of authors funding articles and stories through issuing NFTs - this seems a great example. There are already other routes to do this such as Patreon but I see little downside of NFT contributing. Will there be scams, of course, there is money to be made.

My call would probably be Micky Mouse wearing a gas mask bending over to observe a butterfly on a flower. But the CATCH would be that the butterfly would have the Bitcoin logo on each of its wings. In this scenario because you are also going after the crypto crowd the obligatory skulls are supplanted by a crypto trope. Edgy as f**k. A quick perusal of the Art For Sale section will yield a wealth of alternative and equally derivative stencil mashups to work with inspired by Banksy's early 2000s imagery and iconography. Don't forget to light yourself on fire and film it.

Buy that.
Not this.

This is what I just don’t understand...
Why are people paying hundreds or thousands of dollars for a bad bit of amateur art that you wouldn’t normally look twice at?
I understand these are basically like collecting baseball cards, stamps or some other obsessive collecting thing, but value is usually driven by demand and rarity. Most of this looks like rubbish, and isn’t rare.
What am I missing?

I understand these are basically like collecting baseball cards, stamps or some other obsessive collecting thing, but value is usually driven by demand and rarity. Most of this looks like rubbish, and isn’t rare. What am I missing? You're pretty spot on. 97% of the art is rubbish and you'd never look twice at it if it was physical. It's really amateur hour. But there are some bright spots with artists pushing and innovating with digital as a new medium. It'll be interesting to see what happens when artists that are loved here move into the space...you can bet that Nava, KAWS and many many others are kicking the tires. Amir Fallah is dropping a piece tomorrow. My prediction is the bar will slowly be raised and eventually this will just be considered "art"

Million thanks.
