NFT Art , by kuni on Mar 24, 2021 21:38:51 GMT 1, So when my brother first told me about NFT's i think I said something to the effect of "that's moronic why would anyone spend that kind of money on what's essentially a GIF?" But he persisted and I started to listen to him and try to understand it. Everything that the other person stated is the same for me, but i'd also add that the more i started researching it the more i believe that this is actually the start of a paradigm shift in how we think about ownership and identity. I feel like a dinosaur when i'm talking to the typical NFT collector. I tried to understand why they'd pay as much for a NFT as they would for a large canvas by the artist. I couldn't understand this (and still don't to a large extent because I love physical art) but i have warmed up to the idea that "kids" who are 20 years younger to me truly are digital natives - they don't think of property ownership in the same way as I do, and don't think twice about attending a concert online or going to a gallery opening in a metaverse (as the kids call it), this is their reality. It also feels like this thing is accelerating at a pace that's both exciting and unnerving, and I feel an urgency to learn mixed with a fear of being left behind. That may be irrational, and I'm sure the folks trading tulips in Amsterdam felt a similar way, but i'm willing to bet that this merging of digital and physical reality is here to say. I see digital as simply a new medium and expect that there will be transcendent artists that come out of this space. i haven't seen much that's blown my mind, and i only own a handful of art works, but I'm keeping an eye out for an artist that makes the kind of work that i can't stop thinking about while trying to fall asleep. I think they're out there, and by immersing myself in the market I hope that i'll be able to spot them when they come on the scene. In much the same way as street art emerged and was misunderstood by everyone in the fine art world, I think we're at the beginning of a new movement and I want to be there for it. So, I'd just add this to the list that was posted above me because all of that holds true. Thank you for this - it's interesting. I was quite taken by this section "I'm keeping an eye out for an artist that makes the kind of work that i can't stop thinking about while trying to fall asleep" - I think perhaps where (for me at least) this might become more exciting is to imagine what kind of art could be created that lends itself well to this medium, rather than simply scanning a photo of a physical artwork and selling the image, or selling a piece of art created digitally. I note that the Reeder piece is animated, but again it's not particularly new or exciting. I suspect that as with all technology there will be young and clever people who find ways of using it that the rest of us have yet to imagine, but when they do it'll seem obvious and natural. But hopefully the lazy and the greedy (I'm looking at you, JBoy) won't spoil it in the meantime.
Felipe Pantone is dropping his first NFT tonight on NG. He's doing it with Beyond the Streets. Unfortunately is such a disappointing collection. Pantone has been in this space doing digital art for years and i can't believe he did something so underwhelming. It's a total cash grab.

Right, but I think he could've made a ton more money if he released something better. I feel like it was a missed opportunity.

I guess. But you can't tell me he doesn't have a bunch of digital files he could have easily turned into NFTs. Just seems like a weird choice and was definitely not what I was expecting when I clicked the links in the email.

NFT Art , by Lord Lucas Roham on Mar 25, 2021 8:38:24 GMT 1, It's a cash grab and nothing more. The only people buying are those that champion and constantly bleat on about crypto. I am more than happy to leave them to it.
Additionally notice the buyers of the big ticket items such as the Beeple NFTs and the 'Mona Lisa' Tweet always seems to be the big players in the crypto Industry. Justin Sun etc
The art is poor, overpriced and there is no real way to display it. I can unequivocally state that I'll not ever purchase NFT art as long as I live.

Totally agree. Pantone seems like the perfect artist to dive into this space and he totally mailed it in. Can't believe Beyond the Streets put their name on this. Looks like the market has spoken he sold his pieces for $2k last night and less than 12 hours later they're going for $900 and still dropping. That's as bad as i've ever seen.
Even Pantone's artist statement is a load of shit. Felipe Pantone says, “I created THE GRAFFITI COLLECTION as my very first NFT release as a way to best utilize this innovative medium and technology." If that's the best way he can come up with to utilize the medium then god help him.

I couldn't agree more. i'm much more ambivalent about Pantone now that i've seen his lazy ass NFT work. Lost a lot of respect for him and just puzzled that Roger Gastman would cosign that garbage. The market is speaking though and it's a total dog on the secondary and was the first release i've seen in a month that didn't even sell out.
The smart artists are being extremely intentional about their NFT market. Was chatting with Canyon Castator last night on instagram. He's releasing a handful of 1/1 NFT's on Superrare and not letting the auction get over a certain level as to not have his NFT pricing start to conflict with his physical pricing. Leaving money on the table but playing the long game.
