Who’s building this?
a collective digital artwork where each pixel represents one verified citizen, creating a visual representation of human input across multiple nations, while maintaining complete anonymity of the participants.

What in your opinion has more impact on prices achieved for art sold as NFTs... the quality of the art... or the amount of promotion and level of prestige of the gallery/auction house and their connections to well known collectors? And I know it is both, but asking which is more.
How do we fight back?

I do not like the work of @refikanadol And I have said exactly why. I love AI art. I love all tools & technologies! I am merely criticizing an artist’s work for what does with their material & tools. Good for you that you love it. I find it mediocre.
