would love to see a bit more talk about the jpeg end of the nft. of course, there’s capitalism, but that does not mean that my feed has to be made of $$$ signs.
yes. there is an attachment to the physicality of an object in art that has to do with what walter benjamin called »aura«. with nfts however, such a way of seeing is shiftet to the n-f-t aspect of the jpeg, which is similarly unseeable BUT simultaneously present to everyone.
person 1 flies Paris, visits the Louvre, takes a selfie with the real Mona Lisa
person 2 has never even been on a plane, but downloads the Mona Lisa as a high res scan, sets it as their lock screen, examines it, studies the history
who has a deeper connection to the art?
@art_pleb@andrevieiraart@pravijn 2/2 … i’m working in the literature industry in germany. if you want to open up contemporary literature you have to have an orientation, know the way you behave in bookshops, at events etc. all these barriers get substracted when NFTs become the default mode of presentation.
@art_pleb@andrevieiraart@pravijn 1/2 yes. and that’s the point of NFTs since they are by principal equally accessible to everyone. there is no advantage by knowing the implicit code-of-conduct of high culture. and it is not just mona lisas …
@Bornosor do you know »the eternal cylinder«? gives me the same vibes and seems to be closer to an actual morphological evolution of your character than the pre-design-method i remember from spore.
