Art does indeed have value. Strangely, to me at least, art which can be freely and easily reproduced has more value than art which can't. All other things being equal. An art-work can more easily influence a culture if it's as widespread and accessible as possible. Even my own art is more valuable to me if everyone can see it and it's not hidden behind a paywall.
Which is quite the conundrum, coz we all want professional artists to exist I'd assume. I'd even like to be one one day.
If you have a plan I hope I see it. There's more chance of that if you make the plan freely reproducible of course.
- sp332 11y agoExchanging money for a physical artifact isn't the only way to make a living. There are a few systems in place like Kickstarter and Patreon to fund artists without necessarily limiting the output to backers. And of course the crowdfunding model isn't limited to those sites. There are other models that fall in between having one person pay you to make art and having 10k random people pay for your art. http://www.copyblogger.com/20-steps-1000-fans/ http://www.copyblogger.com/20-steps-1000-fans/
