    Oil paint changed art by allowing artists to paint bright scenes outdoors with new pigments. The work gained plasticity. It even led to doing away with representation. Painting transformed and reinvented itself thanks to oil painting.

    NFTs are the folding table where you prop your stale work in your wife's boyfriend's yard sale.

    NFTs have nothing to do with art.

    • If one crosses out, ‘wordpress monkey,’ on their biz card and write in ‘Artiste’ using his wife’s boyfriends, son’s crayon - then he’s still an artistGnash
    • as one who seems to understand some history, which is unpredictable, you are very sure of yourself.dkoblesky

    • Do you consider things like a tv playing static in a white room art? That's a staple in most art college degree shows.microkorg

      It might have been in the 90s where TV as an object was still relevant but I don't see them anymore.      palimpsest
    • I am simultaneously open to change and skeptical of it at the same time. I have no idea where this is going.....dkoblesky
    • ....but as an artist, I have sold artwork for money I would have never been able to sell before....motion work,,,dkoblesky
    • ....so I refuse to dismiss this....as much as I confess it mystifies me...i will keep an open mind and see what happens.dkoblesky
    • even Jerry Saltz has adapted his stance to seeing NFTs as possibly a good thing while calling out bullshit....dkoblesky
    • ...so holding to ideas at once is possible...and does not violate any laws....dkoblesky
    • As of today, Monday, March 22, 2021 NFTs have nothing to do with art. NFTs have nothing to do with changing the system. NFTs feed capitalism.palimpsest
    • Get your money and save me the bullshit.palimpsest
    • out of all the things to complain about, the last on my list are artists finding ways to make moneyinteliboy
    • As I said from the start, I'm happy y'all getting paid. "Digital *artists*" do have it hard.palimpsest
    • LOL. As an artist, NFT is shit. The "where lambo" meme is perfect. Greedy cucks have NOTHING to offer. Fuck their shit, hi-res images and their cuck animations.babydick
    • Y'alls living in squalor 'til your golden years, is about time you got yours and stuck it to the man.

    • can't you say the same about photography or print? the market never had something to do with art. rethink your statement replacing art with market.uan
    • @uan
      You taking to me?
      I'm saying NFTs have all to do w/ the market & nothing to do w/ art. People taking on photography weren't selling their pencil sketches.      palimpsest
    • Artists taking on any new medium explore and push that medium. The market just assimilates it. It's great that artists get to profit from it.palimpsest
    • NFts are a market. Even if you claim the market is the medium it's nothing new. And they're not even pushing this new market/medium.palimpsest
    • So what are we really talking about?palimpsest
    • @ps: was not really paying attention, was thinking you were against nfts and wrote what came to mind first. :-)uan
    • I am NOT (completely) against NFTs.
      I AM against the argument that they are about art and that they are changing the status quo.      palimpsest
    • I think blockchain technology is here to stay and will probably bring interesting innovations.
      I am against the bullshit arguments.      palimpsest
    • what palimpset saidmonospaced
    • NFTs are a hand drawing of a polaroid photograph of the receipt for the folding table, sent to self in a registered envelope, left unopened and useless.Nairn
    • to date, I don't konw what an NFT actually gets you that you can act onmonospaced
    • it's not like it's a copyright transfer or anything, is it?monospaced
    • No transfer of any kind of copyrightGnash
    • Which is that same for analogue art, as wellGnash
    • NFTs are like admitting to a fart.Nairn
    • When you pay for an NFT you get an NFT. Simple as that.palimpsest
    • The beauty of it is that you are paying in Ethereum. Why can'tt we just celebrate this paroxysm of speculation?!palimpsest
    • momo, you should give it a try. This could be your ticket out of poverty.palimpsest
    • Gnash, right even in analog art. But with that you at least get the fucking art. With an NFT you get what? You get literally nothing?monospaced
    • There is no ticket out of poverty for me. I’ll be paying for my million dollar home for another 25 years monthly. Kids in college etc. Just how it is.monospaced
