What is the pitch for how web3 will help artists find income without purely commercial art pursuits? Every single web3 art project I've seen has been entirely commercial.
- wahnfrieden 5y agoWhen I say commercial art I don’t mean it’s not sold, I mean it in distinction with fine art. Commercial art means for example product photography or designing a book cover That said there are also public goods approaches, either where you have ownership without exclusive access (interesting but not obvious to most people how to productize) or grant models
- almostkorean 5y agoNot sure what you mean exactly by commercial art pursuits? I'd say about 99% of NFT projects are garbage but I'm a fan of artblocks (https://www.artblocks.io/ https://www.artblocks.io/). I can talk more about how the system works if you are interested, but some established generative artists have created projects on their platform and have made more than they could before web3.
- bmelton 5y agoMaybe I don't understand the question enough because I'm wondering if DeFi is excluded as a viable answer, but possibly you're just not aware of it? But it seems like it's making lots of people money and that seems inclusive of artists.
