Isolating the specific qualities of NFT Art, its ‘medium-specificity’ to take a modernist trope, can be instructive in establishing its long-term trajectory as an art form, beyond simply a novel asset class. Of course, it may be that crypto art’s very multiplicity comes to define it in much the same way as art after modernism. However, it is hard not to see such a situation simply producing new forms of pastiche, rather than the kind of vital dissonance that decentralization potentially affords. Endless variety should not be confused with cultural vitality; it merely entrenches a state of neol ..read more

The truth is that nobody knows for certain how things will turn out with NFTs in the future. But that alone is reason to use caution and to engage thoughtfully. I don’t mean to pick on the Uffizi — there are following a similar strategy of digital deaccession. I was driven to write this post because I love museums and I see great potential for them to thoughtfully and creatively use NFTs for fundraising and to engage with their communities. I would just encourage them to think like Disney did when asked to sign over his television rights decades before TV became omnipresent and “not sign away ..read more
