I haven’t actually shipped anything but I’m working on a couple blockchain related artworks, and I occasionally talk to other artists who are active in the art part of the NFT world, as opposed to the “financial instrument dressed as a monkey” part. Two things seem to be an emerging, er, consensus: 1. Having the blockchain part (the NFT for instance) actually have some real relationship to the art is much more interesting than just having pointers to artworks that are fine without it. 2. The exciting thing is that people can go and do what they like with the NFTs (etc) without your permission. This applies to non-art too I think: nothing is stopping you from making Mutant Ape Yacht Mashup. So, I contend that “decentralized user interaction with artworks via a system the artist doesn’t control” is a use for blockchain, though I admit it’s a pretty fringe one.
