Kind of like how some cities / states already subsidize solar panels / heat pumps / electric appliances etc. But even more like how some organizations (like PurpleAir, maybe thats the only one though?) will get you connected

Oh my gosh these are incredible, and commissioned by NASA no less. Ive run across one or two of these Don Davis renderings randomly, its so nice to finally know the artist and the original context!

Hey thank you so much for the thoughtful response! Really looking forward to digging into these links :^)

This is a start but only goes back to 1954 and is limited to a few russian pop culture images. https://www.rbth.com/history/332103-soviet-space-colonizatio...

Thats my understanding of them, although I'm sure its more complicated on some level. It was what made me pretty uninterested from the offset.

Omg thats such an excellent thought! I need to ponder on that one...

Yes! Wondering what it would look like if a similar project were tweaked to be more scalable. Or maybe that would ruin the point?

Any direction you can point to here to connect with some part of the resurgence? Zinefests are my only inroad and a lot of them are pretty exclusionary these days in my experience...

I feel like when I think about it too hard anything thats "worth" anything starts to seem fungible. Which would make NFTs fungible? I mean I get the distinction but still...

Thanks for the well thought out / well written response! I definitely agree. And the closed source / walled garden examples are super on point. It feels like a reminder that anti-scarcity / universal access / unrestraine

You'll know they've really reached routine when people's main complaint is about not having enough leg room :^) Also wondering what the timeline comparison is here too. Wasn't one of the problems with Columbia the advanc

Random thought from a non-expert but is the only future where cryptocurrency takes over one where global society / traditional currency collapses? And if that happens will cryptocurrency be enough to support the economic needs of a pos

That's an excellent point, I like the notion of disconnecting them from art entirely. Maybe there really isn't much of a need for anything about NFTs to be thought of as art. The use of the word token (NFTs) rather than art (N

It definitely seems like they're increasingly pertinent on multiple levels. The zine events I was going to before Covid hit we're feeling super vibrant, but there's a weird domination of blue-chip gallery art-book / zine

Oh that's a fantastic idea, I need to read up more on how an open license could apply to a physical artwork. If anyone has any further reading suggestions on that let me know. First thought is maybe drawings / paintings / col

Lol, I love it. It strikes me as pretty solid conceptually and it definitely works on some kind of anarchist poetic level too. Also love / hate that it would triple-down on the burning-the-rainforest NFT issue too :^)

Excellent, that's something I could start on right now to counteract my screen burnout from work. Now all I need is a not-sketchy way to get physical addresses from folks on HN.

Excellent point / mic drop : ) But one thought this thread is provoking is related to this well-intentioned but self-destructive (imho) 20th century cultural narrative that talent as a prerequisite for art creates a tyranny where cert
