Description
I’ve been thinking a lot about this question. It seems like most people are more inclined to one of these two poles. The answer to this reveals a lot about your interests and could help to shape your collection or your artist's vision.
These aren’t mutually exclusive, and there isn’t a right or wrong…
In for the Art:
meanings, stories, and feelings
artist's journey and vision
aesthetics
art form (sculpture, photographs, poetry, paintings, gen art)
movement (pop, abstract, conceptual, maybe even memes?)
In for the Tech:
used tools, code, libraries
smart contracts and distribution
innovation
where is the artwork minted (platform/blockchain)?
on-chain or off-chain?
problems solved w/ blockchain & NFTs
the kind of token (e.g., ERC-20)
What am I in for?
In my case, I entered the space for the tech. I worked in that industry for over 8 years as a software dev, data scientist, and product manager. I love to build software, bringing me to blockchain/dApps/NFTs.
Early on, I was 80% for tech and 20% for the art. Over the past three years, as I got more involved in the space, the art side grew on me.
These days, I feel like I am 50% for the art, 50% for the tech…
What does this mean?
I pay equal attention to the art and the tech components; they are equally important when I collect, write, or share blockchain art.
What about you? Are you in for the art or the tech?
