My take-away was that art is not zero-sum:
Art is zero sum in that there are a limited number of artist residencies, exhibitions and funds available.
In this case, we will likely see further contraction in the number of artists able to support themselves. There will ofc always be the super stars and hobbyists.
- rictic 4y agoThe amount of art that people want in their lives is much larger than the amount that's there now. Artists who are willing to direct their talents towards satisfying others' desires for art will find the world is very positive sum. Those that vie for a limited number of spots in a prestige game may find that it's zero or even negative sum, but those are not good games to play anyways.
- andreilys 4y agoThere is limited discretionary income available, why would I use $100 in funds to purchase digital art, when I can spend $0.10 to generate one and use the remaining $99.90 on a scuba diving experience?
