I went down a bit of an NFT rabbit hole, beginning from this article. I've glossed over readily-available online information about NFTs a few times in the past, but you've made some points here that made me seriously think about my own artistic practice in this context. I went to some of the NFT marketplaces that artists without gallery representation seem to use, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of work that is grounded in classicism. There is definitely an "internet" aesthetic that I'm tempted to call "not serious" (cartoon clowns holding rolls of toilet paper, anthropomorphized animated slices of pizza, etc). It seems disconnected from the rest of art history, when I think having that tie back to more traditional art forms would mean a lot in the world of collecting. It would for me, anyway.
The times I looked at the idea of NFTs before reading this article, I was looking at work offered by galleries and while much of the work was higher quality, there was still...well, a lot of it just wasn't good art. Hopefully my lack of knowledge doesn't make me sound judgmental, because I am coming to this conversation in good faith. Will you have more articles talking about where different digital art aesthetics fit into the NFT marketplace?
