If you want to actually pay respect to artists and their descendants - pay them enough in advance when they live! You are so willing to invest in so many s**ts and you don't want a single cent of deficit from an artist? Most corrupted bs I ever know. — D2OTSSUMMERBUG
What do you mean by non-fungible? — D2OTSSUMMERBUG
Art is Art and money is money. I actually don't give a s**t if people straight-up call it "products to profit" and make billions - the problem is that calling these products art is actually corroding aesthetic standards; it reinforces the monetized value as the signifier of the aesthetic value of arts without justifying it. — D2OTSSUMMERBUG
What I am arguing is that when money or market gradually makes up a greater role in considering the worth of art, we seem to accept that how much art is worth lies completely in how much revenue an artist makes, or how willing the public is to consume for the art. — D2OTSSUMMERBUG
Is it really an agreement or enforcement by the more powerful, in this case, the wealthier, upon the less - but since the more powerful frame the language and culture at the same time, they get to "justify" this enforcement and make people accept it as a norm or mutual "agreement"?If art is bought and sold in a particular price range then clearly there is an agreement among art buyers and sellers about the art's monetary value.

I guess we'll have to keep bringing it up then since the problem is not addressed sufficiently and continues to worsen. — D2OTSSUMMERBUG
Yes, it can be argued that this is the case for close to any aspect - it's just that being materialistic about some does not trigger me as much as being so about arts. — D2OTSSUMMERBUG
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
