It’s art. More so than a lot of the pieces at The Whitney who haven’t had an ounce of the cultural impact that this image has.
I don’t fault you though, the one constant in the art world throughout time is contemporary work being thought of as unworthy.
- ashtonkem 5y agoThe issue here isn’t whether or not the meme is art, I genuinely don’t care about that, it’s whether or not the NFT represents ownership in a way that should convert to a currency value. Given that NFTs give you literally no ownership over the thing, it strikes me less as a tulip and more of a paper tulip being bid up to stratospheric prices. > I don’t fault you though Spare me the patronizing attitude, thanks.
- samstave 5y agoI dont get it at all, but thats because it has always been claimed that a digital copy is not the same as stealing, say an originally hand painted - not exactly reproducable oil painting... So exactly, aside from may bragging rights, does a tokenized digital "original" mean. Are they checking the file creation date? Must the original be in the original file-format it was created in (meaning a .psd, .ai, .dwg etc) file? I just dont understand the value.
