> ownership of digital art is not a notion that had much social consensus around it before the advent of NFTs.
I don't mean to disrespect artists but when all is said and done the only question that matters is:
"Will a museum pay me, the owner of the piece of art to have it in their collection, so I can generate passive income from it?"
In the case of real pieces of art the answer is positive.
If this critical component is missing then you are left with a market where you can only sell for profit to an individual bigger fool.
2-D NFTs won't ever pass this test, 3-D NFTs are also in bad shape because museums are a social activity, something the regular person does to shield themselves from the summer heat while at the park with their SO.
Nobody dreams of logging into a 3-D museum , alone in their living while wearing an Oculus.
Art is a real world, social activity. The process of distributing art is a real world, social activity. Blockchain won't change this.
- mattdesl 5y agoIt sounds like you have decided what you think the future will look like based on your own narrow experience of technology, and are not open to alternative viewpoints. And to answer your question: museums and institutions have been collecting 2D and 3D digital art, VR, code based art, etc for years. The NFT space provides new technologies that can be used here, and an alternative distribution channel & market for this type of work.
