NFT is to digital imagery (not art) what VIP bottle popping douchebaggery is to cheesy nightclubs

the role of culture under capitalism is to - when bad things outsell good things - explain that the bad things are good, actuallyr.

NFTs are an indication of the decentralization of culture. It's time for new perspectives about the upcoming #posttextile #fashionworlds!
Non-Fungible Fashion will expand access, diversity, and connect tastemakers with fewer intermediaries.

i'am rather confident that this prospectus will be revealed as the polar opposite of what is actually going on.

#artfindsaway- what the hell is going with the type here? different kernings and top spaceESKEMA
- Thanks for the SuperRare recommendation, NFTBro.palimpsest
- @ESKEMA
It's called art, look it up.palimpsest - How do I do that? do I just use the googles?ESKEMA
- They were also lookin for a CFO "that understood crypto" smhgrafician
- read the article, so It's the original covers + a new one, the first (Is god Dead?) was from 1966, so before the re-design.ESKEMA
- It's in the pudding.palimpsest
- lolsted
- and why did they used different "a"s on the new one. Seems totally pointless.ESKEMA
- "we could find no modern type foundry which has an exact interpretation of the one used on the original cover"ESKEMA
- they could've just copied the other "a".ESKEMA

- Wavegrower is the artistdkoblesky
- you already have the image. Enjoy it!
LOLKrassy - and if you wish to support the creator, hit them up and shoot over some $ to themKrassy
- that's one way to look at it....or what if there was a way to pay them with crypto and make a little contract in which I own this...as a way to shoot him $?dkoblesky
- what Krassy saidESKEMA
- uhhhh, you can do this with any sort of royalty, no nft necessary.monospaced
- Buying art.

There has to be a better way!palimpsest - you can make that with the stardust plugin for AE super easy.shapesalad

I don't know enough about the technology to know if it's viable but it would be great if someone hooked up NFTs to work with WebGL shaders.
- They're often just a few bytes in size so could be stored within the token
- They're future proof - based on web standards and they will run at any viewport resolution
- Potential for generative art which evolves on each trade
this sort of thing:

https://www.shadertoy.com/view/t…I had a google and could only find a few folks that write shaders trying to figure out if they were mint-able who ended up exporting as video but would be interested to know if it's possible...
- nothing stops anyone from minting a piece of code, me thinksrenderedred
- would it be as simple as the marketplace supporting it then? aren't many just URLs to publicly hosted jpgs... i wouldn't know where to start to look in to thatkingsteven
- saw talking about stuff like that in the progressive art community...
https://www.hicetnun…uan - nice! that seems to use tezos to manipulate the image data in the token. so i guess it may just be that the marketplaces have to support viewing webgl, which iskingsteven
- tricky enough now i think of it. i just like the meta of processing transactions containing code that runs on the graphics card through graphics cards...kingsteven
- @kingsteven
artifact->token->own...
artifact is the same at each token transfer
tezos generates that content per owner.sted - index.js:31:14sted
- sted, that line totally looks like some cyberpunk 'code is law' thing :-)uan
- ah, i get ya. it does seem like the two main standards for NFTs (eip-721 and eip-1155) only accept URIs to a JSON file and that the JSON file must link to akingsteven
- file with mime type image. So I guess that's the main restriction otherwise it would seem generating WebGL in an HTML wrapper would be possible...kingsteven
- I mean, it's possible but its not going to show up in your wallet unless you tokenize a link to a thumbnail...kingsteven
- @uan it's on your browsers console window :) that's a location of a code-trace what displays some details about the system and this nft.sted
- @kingsteven this sounds like that you're saying that the artifact content is stored in the blockchain. but it isn't, and it can't be.sted
- nah, i get that now. i didn't realise that the images sold as NFTs are essentially the image thumbnail field of the API response. I had assumed that field couldkingsteven
- be used for other types of data or the wallet had some sort of interface for viewing associated data via the marketplaces' APIkingsteven

"Beeple Immediately Converted His $53 Million NFT Earnings From ETH to USD
The artist who sold an NFT artwork for $69 million says NFTs are “absolutely" a bubble."
"In brief
Crypto artist Beeple received the $53 million proceeds of his record-breaking NFT sale in Ethereum—and quickly exchanged it for US dollars.He later compared the current NFT craze to the early days of the Internet "bubble.""

-
so he did get paid, that's a nice exit
- My favorite part are how he got a fancy haircut to be on TVdkoblesky
- If anyone learned anything from the dotcom bubble then get in and make cash before it bursts. After that everything just goes sensible.microkorg
- and...the bubble does not mean the changes, the things that happened go away...the speed and intensity just changes...sensible... you saydkoblesky
- graf, as you can see he didn’t crash the market by selling.NBQ00
- @NB not right away, these exits from all artists will add up, lowering liquidity, building up until the bubble burstsgrafician
- Nah, the artists are just a small fraction. Millions and millions are being sold every day. Bubble bursts when more sellers than buyers and trust is gone.NBQ00
- Yeah, can be a small fraction but it's the first legitimate use of ETH (sure, dumb af, but legitimate). Where all the other millions in ETH go?grafician
- NBQ000
- His day job (used) to be for clients. But how did he manage to do all those images and animations every day?NBQ00
- I know a lot of models are from Turbosquid and such sites but that still takes time to edit them, texture, prepare, and so on.NBQ00
- Yeah, that's like using a 3D UI kit, you work way faster. But also some of the works...grafician
- ...like those Elon or Trump pieces were highly custom, I have doubts alsografician
- love the hair and glasses.. He went from nerdy 4chan artist to corporate salesmen....it just takes $69MM!!!dkoblesky
- All his work was not as complex as his recent work...dkoblesky
- Yeah, now that I know he used turbosquid and etc, I think it is totally doable. I think he works in a really smart on some 3D elements too.Fabricio
- I remember seeing him working on a piece some years ago, and he went on very quickly in buidling a little city scenario, extruding polygons here and there...Fabricio
- C4D is really powerful for that kind of thing, multiplying elements, spreading in a any given pattern. Plus, he is really talented in getting his ideas across.Fabricio
- hilarious interview of him in School of Motion podcast describing his process ...'try stuff'...which I admired...dkoblesky
- @dkoblesky man but ALL artists "try stuff" it's kinda what we do lolgrafician
- I think he’s a funny guy. Even if the whole NFT thing is a bit questionable, he deserves it. 60M+ may be too much but who cares. Better him than a banker.NBQ00
- Yeah, he deserves it. Despite the shitty NFT environment... but he made all his source files available to everyone for a very long time.Fabricio

- it reminds me of the Web 2.0 hype, it would seem to be a lot of the same people that had their hearts broken by the demise of yahoo pipeskingsteven
- Yet you made the same "There has to be a better way!" argument only yesterday.palimpsest
- umm.....not the same...but ok...why can't I be in the space and criticize it at the same time? grown up stuff?dkoblesky
- Sad, greedy, delusional, stupid cucks defend this bullshit. #wherelambobabydick
- this is a good thing overall.....with a lot of hype and dumbass shit being said...and things that will surely changedkoblesky
- I can be a liberal and criticize certain liberal policies....it does not mean I am a hyprocrite....it means I am a normal persondkoblesky
- seeing this as black/white is a problemdkoblesky
- I agree with you @dkoblesky. I think there are a lot of nuances in this whole nft thing... And it is important to stay informed on both sides.Fabricio
- I personally only see the negatives so far... and everytime I see an artist I follow going through this route, I lose a bit of admiration I had for them...Fabricio
- But I've been watching so many videos, explaining this through a non-biased angle.. to see if I can understand why so many people are doing it...Fabricio
- I have this weird feeling of "Am I missing something? Am I the "old man yells at cloud" meme that nft people uses to describe people against it?Fabricio
- The benefit is very clear, it's getting that crypto moneys. You are missing out on the opportunity to make money.palimpsest
- It's like Etsy but with crypto. This is a huge breakthrough.palimpsest
- ^ No. Buying/selling ugly, hi-res jpegs is what stupid cucks do. Artists and collectors? More like cunts. Who the fuck you want to impress with this shit?babydick
- what most know as NFTs is just an image intended to represent the asset. if you read the standards the developers chose the image sizes based on instagramkingsteven
- on the basis that 'we assume they know a thing or two about optimisation' so its funny seeing the hype on the art side essentially around a medium which iskingsteven
- MIME type image when if NTFs go mainstream that thumbnail image could be the logo of a bank and the token represents a debtkingsteven

Beeple (Mike) is only 39. Damn, I thought he was closer to 50.
