it all started because i was teaching aphex twin a lesson about normalizing shitty things like - map, don't read this - NFTs.
since it involved cryptocurrency, my reply got the attention of this guy

within minutes the inverse mike gravel teens descended on me

Z, I have no idea what NFTs are and how this made you and Aphex Twin enemies.
I tried to look it up and my eyes glazed once I got to the part about how long it takes to boil a swimming pool.

So what we want is to build a massive monument for this particular work of art which exists only in the virtual world. We have a wish list—a dream, so to speak, of some of the most prominent architects on the planet. We’d like to collaborate with them to design something that can exist only in this virtual space and then install this art in it and open it up to the world. The dream is to build the monument and, in two months’ time or so, share a link with you so that you—wherever you are in the world—at the click of a button, can experience the grandeur of this work.This is going to be a billion-dollar piece someday. This has the potential to be the work of art of this generation. We are very happy to be part of history and we’re still digesting the fact that we are part of history.

yeah, i definitely read that! it's just perfect. the people/person/company who bought it were themselves NFT advocates and investors, who surely knew that by setting a record-setting price it would drive more interest into NFTs, and drive up their own investments. the future of commerce, humanity, creativity, and the death of the Petrodollar, via hyperspeculation! because there was not enough speculatiojn
also, the "work of art of this generation", it's just like...a COLLAGE?! for this "generation"? lool

it's corporate art. it's something he can crank out and brands know what they're getting. the bbc arts critic favorably compared him to andy warhol, in that regard. i disagree. the difference is that there are a million beeples

honestly, give it 20 years, maybe you could fully inhabit these beeple creations as a videogame. it's already in a 3D space (either C4D or maya), with textures and 3D models and that shit. it's just a game that doesn't have any players. seems like it would be easy to hop into any of the characters in the one above and see what happens if you step out of line - with a flamethrower
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 16 March 2021 04:16 (three years ago) link
i guess i did like this one, because it seemed to reveal something about them. i can't tell if the style of it is a parody of the kinds of paintings where jesus is helping a hockey player, or whatever, or not, but i guess that's good

since the blockchain is all about undoing the convenience and efficiency of already available technologies, perhaps they can add a sort of permanent damage tracked on a blockchain. So you can enter the 3D space and permanently torch it with a flamethrower. Or there could be random "acts of god" that destroy NFT art beyond repair.

It’s too early to say what led to the fatal shooting of Adam Toledo by Chicago police, but it’s also too soon to make him a cause celebre.
