NFT Good or Bad for an Artists image?, by dunkers on Jan 4, 2022 21:37:09 GMT 1, If the NFT is shit bad for image but if it's thoroughly thought out with some utilityย I've heard a lot of people involved in NFTs talk about "utility"... but what does that mean? That they'll give you some free stuff to sweeten the deal, later down the road... maybe? Not much else you can do with an NFT is there?
There is so much that can be done for utility. However this works better with other types of projects rather than artist pieces. With artists though there are still plenty of options for utility such as free access to exhibits, access to private viewings, meet and greet with the artist, access to pre-sales on future releases. Essentially using the NFT like a membership card as well as an art piece

All in all, this is nothing new. It's really just marketing and gimmickry masked as 'the fuuuttttuuuurrrre!'

NFT Good or Bad for an Artists image?, by New Wave Dave on Jan 4, 2022 22:26:43 GMT 1, I feel/fear that the mere fact that we are discussing this today (with a strong engagement I can see) shows that this probably is a real thing. Maybe it's still a bit early but with the metaverse developments, I would not be surprised if at some point your virtual living room becomes more important than you physical one. If that's the case, you'll be proud to have a digital Hirst in your virtual living room as you are proud today to have a Banksy in your physical living room. That might take a generation or 2 though. But is this a good thing? Is commoditization of our experience online really a good thing? It's amazing how all the talk of the internet being a democratising force where we could all co-exist without class divides and prejudices has been replaced with 'fuck you, my avatar is a 400k ape'. We're truly a goofy species.

Seems very few have real utilityโฆ if any. At some point all those benefits can be pulled, and leave you with just the NFT.

NFT Good or Bad for an Artists image?, by That Print Guy on Jan 5, 2022 7:02:21 GMT 1, Ultimate utility remains to be seen but at the very minimum it's a key to a door which of course could exist in the real world.

1-5 years at most. Samsung is adding NFT support to its 2022 range of TV screens. Iโm planning on showing my Hirsts on there later this year, plus a few Paks.

Essentially using the NFT like a membership card as well as an art piece Yeh, it could be a way for loyal collectors of an artist to get recognized in some way via early access, not much different than networking did in the past.
Everyone is looking to bring the art space into the digital through NFTs. I'd be just as interested in seeing the utility of NFTs brought into the real world art scene, such as use of POAPs for attending gallery openings, or nft tokens on purchase from a gallery of artist. A way to build up a presence in the art world which is increasingly becoming a silo'd, lonely experience through online gallery purchases, etc. But all in aid of physical art sales.

Kramer lost his Ethereum wallet of 15 NFTs valued at a total of $2.2 million, including four apes from the 'Bored Ape Yacht Club' collection. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
