Art is hard to define. Is a banana duct-taped to a wall (and later eaten), art? It sold for $120k I believe. It doesn't get lower effort than that.
Maybe the "art" here is in fact the scam. I find it artistic, at least. At the same time, it can be about making money.
- 2fast4you 5y agoI spent awhile trying to write down why I think "Bored Ape Yacht Club" and other NFT projects aren't art, but I don't have the language for it. A better argument would be that NFT's don't benefit independent artists, regardless of whether the content is actually art or not. I already brought up the rampant art theft on NFT marketplaces, and these NFT projects aren't about artists. Take the bored ape yacht club; go to their website, or opensea profile. You won't see any of the artists credited. The whole thing is owned by a parent company. It's just here to make money.
