Anyone can own a Beeple artwork (just download from internet!)
Anyone can own a brick (steal from building site! or buy at DIY store)If you have the money you can buy a Beeple NFT artwork from Beeple.
If you have the money you can buy a brick from Carl Andre.But the beeple image you've bought isn't a unique instance, he could be selling thousands of them exactly the same.
But the brick you've bought from Carl Andre isn't unique, he could be selling thousands of them exactly the same.You've bought something that really is of no value, the perception of value is the one that artist has placed on the item or what the market is willing to pay.
You can't claim that NFT's are NOT art.
- NFTs are not the brick, NFTs are the receipt you paid for the receipt with the coordinates of the store where A brick is being stored.palimpsest
- ^ this pretty much says it allGnash
- You are not buying the brick with NFTs. You are buying a receipt.palimpsest
- I'm against speculation. But if I had to, I rather buy an actual brick from Andre than a receipt from Joe Six Pack.
Both systems are stupid, one is stupider.palimpsest - TLDR: NFTs are NOT art.palimpsest
- By the way, Joe Six Pack has no conceptual framework for selling the bricks.palimpsest
- They're just left over bricks from a shed he was building in hopes of banging his cousin at the next cookout.palimpsest
- And we find ourselves at an impasse. Because in Joe's worldview I don't understand NFTs but in my worldview he doesn't understand art.palimpsest
- The bricks are a beautiful analogy because some of my people are getting theirs by pushing bricks but they keep it on the low. Do what you gotta do.palimpsest
