Artists Will Merge Scarcity With Abundance
A Mash-up of the scarce with scale will become a part of artists' lives
"Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time" -JM Basquiat
A mash-up of scarce with scale
Artists will merge scarcity with abundance
“Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art” - A. Warhol
"Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time" - Jean-Michel Basquiat
"Computers aren't the thing, they're the thing that gets you to the thing" - Halt & Catch Fire."
Here we're dealing with art, a recursive experience, no matter what form it takes, where a thing is defined in terms of itself like a fractal pattern. "The thing that gets you to the thing."
It goes back to being about experiences as the base layer of the "thing": creating, owning, playing.
Space-Time will be redecorated on whatever network will come as of tomorrow.
It's built on a tension between scarcity of unique creation versus the abundance of ubiquitous networks
We'll be dealing in a new kind of creative market.
It happens when we find ways to scratch an itch in someone that couldn't have been done quite that way by a "new new thing", like a fun and easy interface experience, social signaling, and cargo cult - Rene Girard herd, or ending old industry and incumbent complacency.
This market will require a different kind of perspective and scarcity.
It's like the "forced perspective" of the masters like Da Vinci - how art redecorates space's reality.
It's a "forced scarcity" in business-like terms, how the business of art reframes markets' "reality".
and if business is art like Warhol said, "Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art.
Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art."
The qualities between creation and value, are swapped in a way
We will make nonfungible creations, that have exchangeable properties like money when we incorporate fungible units of value (percentages of ownership and royalties).
We take fungible units of value, like standardized property rights, and incorporate, program, them into nonfungible creations.
This is the "thing that gets you to the thing" is not embraced for their own sake. It is and was always about us, our experiences.
