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 ?

as someone coming from the traditional art world into web3, i see both spaces have their contradictions. as you said, the art world seems to resist change and thrives on reinventing an already established, successful formula. while web3 embraces disruption but also repeats the patterns of exclusivity, speculation etc. (insert ‘same same but different’ meme here). regardless of mediums, platforms, speculations, remixes, traditional or web3, you will always find people creating regardless of these patterns and new aesthetics will be shaped along the way. almost as a by product of these individuals “creating for the sake of creating/growing/exploring/playing”. everything is art, yet nothing is art. we don’t really know where to stand but we have the urge to create, make, shape. (not qualified to answer but there i am)

you seems v qualify imo ^^ Indeed, the idea of creating art for art’s sake, without the prospect of exhibition, institutional recognition, or financial reward, is one of the liberating aspects of this space. But beneath that lies a more insidious reality—one where "art" often becomes a catch-all term, a convenient façade for what is essentially free marketing, aimed at acquiring new users. Art with utility? Like tokens? tho?
