A place to talk about art on Farcaster. Artwork created by jacob.eth

I often see artists in galleries making slight variations of the same work over the years 🖼 
There are exceptions, but this pattern feels common. It’s surprising—it contradicts the idea I have of an artist who constantly seeks to create new things 🔄.  

Is it the artist’s choice? A commercial strategy? Or is it necessary to secure sales in galleries? 💸🤔

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!
