NFT Art , by nex on Mar 8, 2021 0:23:58 GMT 1, I love the transparency of ownership and prices realised via nft, I think the digital medium offers a glimpse of digital canvases and democratised art for a new generation ... are there issues? Yes clearly. Will ppl get burnt? Yes clearly. But I donโt see a whole heap of difference between this and most new forms of expression scaring the old folk โwho donโt get itโ.

How do you see this as democratised art?! Find me a place that talks about this in any way other than invesment. Art is already wildly democratic. Not hype or bluechip art, but just about anyone can find something or someone they like or love for their walls already. Sure the banksy market has gone bananas, but there is a wide world of comparable art out there at very affordable prices. Just saying.
As for old folk who donโt get it. Not getting it has nothing to do with age, it has to do with appreciation for the technique and the method. Digital art just feels a bit cheap, there is not mastery of technique, just mastery of a program.
I guess it is all up to taste. Personally i donโt think i will ever hang a digital canvas, just like i will never display a digital photograph anywhere but my home screen.

Personally I have gotten into VR and AR art and enjoy it very much. I agree there has to be skill and thought involved and not just hype, gimmicks and money talk.

Nothing to do with art here.
Seeing artists getting interested into NFT is only reflecting their lack of thought into what 'art' really means. It's a true commitment, body and soul, not an upload of a virtual image.
All of this make me remember a piece of art that made me smile at the time stating this : I spent all my bitcoins on air guitar course.

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

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 space๐ 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 donโt 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 doesnโt appeal which is fine, plenty of real world art doesnโt appeal to me either but that doesnโt mean itโs 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.

I am also keen to learn more and have been reading into it a bit lately.
Maybe its a generational thing but I feel Art is a tangible pursuit - you buy work you like and you hang it on your wall to admire - simple.
Problem I'm having is I just dont get what you do with it exactly?! Whats the point of it if it's stuck on your hard drive or mobile? Much like all your other photos and media, to be eventually forgotten about.
Is it just another speculative storage of wealth with everyone banking on the next hit or like Pokemon?
I dont see many mainstream artists crossing over yet but I could be wrong. The Beeple/Christies sale should be interesting. Not like them to take risks
A big bunch of people have made 1 to 10โs million USD in ethereum and donโt yet want to flip back to fiat. NFT art is a way of diversifying and/or feeling good. Will it work? No idea but as long as Eth keeps rising I think NTF is only getting bigger. $25m for Beeple in Christieโs seems about right
7 hours to go in the Beeple, Christieโs auction. $13.25m bid right now, my $25m estimate not looking so bananas now but letโs see where it ends up. The general coverage is about explode and notable real world artists are going to start getting involved

Indeed - Coinbase $100bn valuation, more than any other exchange globally and most financial institutions

Coinbase (Tim Draper) and NFTY Gateway (Winklevoss twins) both have pump and dump written all over it. Both want to get as many user as possible now, take the companies public, make a ton of money in stocks, dump it slowly and get out before the entire thing crashes. This a classic silicon valley plan.
Us idiots will make Tim Draper another billion dollars - so his wealthy family can rule the bay area for generations and generations. Tim Draper is THE CONNECTION between Tesla and bitcoin. He sits at the top of Tesla's board of directors (and Coinbase) and it was him who pushed Bitcoin not Elon. Elon went with it but Tim is the one who is trying to get as many corporations to purchase bitcoin right now to help Coinbase have a massive IPO. Tim is going around right now saying Apple and Netflix will purchase bitcoin as well; which is not true at all. This a total scam for Coinbase IPO and I love watching these idiots fall for this.ย Anyone who can't see this... isn't old enough to know what the tech world is really all about.ย
There is nothing NEW about this technology as well. People who say "this is the future or a new art medium" clearly don't really know anything about technology. The token itself is not a medium at all. You are using old files, MP4s and JPEGs, to make NFTs. Most NFT files being sold right now are not even large enough files to do anything with. They are extremely limited and low rate files.
Also - this is very important - you do not own the copyright or actual painting so for fine art there really isn't any value to this. You aren't even getting TIFFs, large files or the original files they used to layer these things. Basically they are trying to put a value on any old computer file - this is clearly a scam. Even for COAs - NFT - hasn't been really proven yet to be the best for that.ย
Again right now all of this is to get a massive user base like a facebook, take these two company public - or sell - and dump them once they do. Draper and the Winklevoss Twins will make a few hundred million off us idiots, ย dump the stocks slowly in the companies, ย before this thing crashes and they will move on. This is so classic silicon valley - it is bleeding greed from all sides.
