I often see artists in galleries making slight variations of the same work over the years ๐ผ There are exceptions, but this pattern feels common. Itโs surprisingโit contradicts the idea I have of an artist who constantly seeks to create new things ๐. Is it the artistโs choice? A commercial strategy? Or is it necessary to secure sales in galleries? ๐ธ๐ค

This is interesting to me as well. I have a friend who is a painter. She started painting pictures of cows at one point as a way to improve her technique. People bought the paintings. She has insisted ever since that she cannot paint anything other than cows (for sale) becauseโฆ itโs required for the artist to be consistent? I never bought that line, though. Seems wrong to me. I know some artists just use the same algorithm over and over again and they make a fortune that way. I find it boring, personally. I think itโs fine to stick with a style, especially if you have a reason. But just using the same algorithm every time doesnโt make sense to me. It doesnโt seem particularly creative.

hey @camilleroux it is interesting that you are brave enough to point this out. To concentrate on the NFT world for a minute: there is a plethora of nearly identical pieces coming out from a number of (admittedly very talented) generative-art coders at the moment. This happens particularly on Rodeo and would seem to be the only way to make consistent sales on that platform - which is why I have quit that bucking bronco! While it is important to have a definable style (I can recognise your work, for example) I agree that a real artist should keep moving and experimenting. While someone who opts in to constantly tweaking a Javascript code to put a few bits of text in a slightly different arrangement is, to quote one of your other correspondents here, BORING!

Maybe they are just trying to perfect something elusive?
