I've been navigating both worlds for a while now—contemporary art and Web3. Each has its own distinct codes and aesthetic family. Traditional art follows established codes and methods that might need disrupting, while Web3 is full of potential but also chaotic. Everything is art, yet nothing is art—we don’t really know where to stand. Are new economic models emerging for artists 0.3? Are new aesthetics being created? That’s the discussion I want to have here—not just with self-proclaimed artists, but with those shaping our visual culture and experiences across smartphones and laptops. Tagging @pugson to dive into this. First question: Do you consider yourself an artist? And why ?

art and artist have been so misused that i don’t believe the words carry much meaning anymore. that is a problem for someone else to work out though. you can look at the problems and chaos and discuss endlessly, or you can create with your back to the world, as agnes martin would say. the top creators in web3 have found a balance of both, but lean more towards doing their own thing, and have mostly avoided cynicism and debates. art should be the highest focus, then being an example of the direction you’d like web3 to go. we’re so early. the space is still very malleable

The idea of posture is interesting. Some artists seek to be taken seriously, while others cultivate a practice with more self-awareness and detachment. Isn’t shitposting an underrated niche art form today? But then again, can one truly take themselves seriously while making memes?
