now that “onchain” is what Base intends to call everything done on the blockchain as a successor term to web3. What are we going to call art that specifically is written onto the blockchain itself or uses the blockchain as part of the art?

In my view the distinction is overblown to a degree “Onchain-ness” should be viewed as a spectrum If we constrain the value of tokenization to only things that can be stuffed directly onchain, it’s missing the point, and will exclude a lot of significant media that isn’t practical to fit “fully onchain”

No one is constraining the tokenization of things to stuff stored onchain. That's the entire point, tokenization and onchain storage are different things. So why is Base co-opting an art niche to its marketing efforts? Because it has high reputation, built by onchain artists.

It’s a purely semantic distinction imo.

Yeah for the people who are now co-opting a term with no effort of 5 years, yes :) For the artists who made the term reputable, it's a little annoying when the suits who ruined terms like web3 and metaverse now co-opt onchain.

I’ve been minting my work since mid 2020, starting on SuperRare. I believe it is progress to consider IPFS/Arweave NFTs a part of a broader umbrella use of the term onchain. I realize that some stand to profit from an exclusive use of the word.
