Update: I put out a sound publication ‘Arrays’ that is an extension of my installation, performance and iterative art practice. This month it’s been reviewed in @thewiremagazine by Raymond Cummings and I performed an amazing show hosted by @creativecodeart 🤘🏽👾

an excerpt from my dec 2nd performance; thx @erin_wajufos for capturing & @creativecodeart for hosting! 🤘✨👾

Let's get real here.

Can someone make an argument for the artistic value proposition of doing art on-chain compared to off-chain?

You need to answer with how the art differs in its final result, as an image, from, say, me creating the algorithm in the case of gen-art and just outputting the 1000 pieces then minting them compared to outputting them via, say, the @artblocks_io engine?

No arguments of provenance. No arguments for randomness. No arguments for community. No arguments for the hash. The technical parameters can be replicated off-chain, and the goals can be achieved by outputting the work off-chain and then minting it.

Tell me how the art becomes different in how it looks if done one way or another. Because if we as an NFT community can´t argue this, the whole world will look at us like we don´t understand how art works. The rest of the art world considers art because of what you can see as a final result; no matter how conceptual the art is, it is the result that counts. So, please. Someone enlighten us on what and why, in artistic terms, why choose on-chain art. I really want to know.
