Well some digital stuff gets Art World love, just not most of it. Museums have been grappling with a lot of these questions for years, at least since video art made it into collections. And on a conceptual level I’d say for longer.
What does it even mean to own a Sol Lewitt wall drawing?[0] There is a whole wall of art at SFMOMA that is less “owned” than an NFT-backed goofy little “punk” graphic.
So far it doesn’t seem like the curatorial voices have made it into the NFT conversation.
I found it interesting that Beeple hedged and actually made an artifact to go with the digital version of his daily editions.
The gallery I bought prints from last year has some interesting takes on it, they are only dealing in digital art but they are a (small) physical gallery.[1]
I also have no idea where this is going, I was barely paying any attention until a week ago despite having an artist friend who’s involved in blockchain stuff. But I definitely find the conversations interesting! Learning new stuff almost daily now...
