NFT and the art movement
It is not news that NFT moves the artistic market and brings new perspectives to art, I may be being wrong, but we are facing an artistic movement that will have a profound impact on the arts around the world.
An art movement is characterized by common ideas, date of creation, location, participants and, in some cases, a manifesto.
The main artistic movements are: Renaissance, Baroque, Romanticism, Impressionism, Realism, Naturalism, Symbolism, Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Modernism, Expressionism and Post-Modernism.
When I talk about art related to NFT, I think about digital art, the Games movement, card collections, and people curious and interested in producing their own NFTs.
In practice, the democratization of art takes place through online social networks, exhibitions with free access to the public and government incentives for artistic works. From this perspective, art becomes more accessible to fans and creators, whether known or unknown.
I believe that even talking about the democratization of art, on the issue that everyone with access to the internet and anyone can make a digital art with the help of some image processing website and put it to sell on an NFTs marketplace platform. I know, of course, that there are some people who don't see this as a "legitimate art", because the guy threw a random image or put a word and a "little robot" did everything, but that's the cool thing, the NFTs are being a gateway to creating an interest in making art, in creating something different, in socializing people through an interest in art.
Speaking of that "little robot", do you know Dream by WOMBO? I created some images just putting my daughter's name, it's a really cool toy, and I saw that the guys are thinking about every created image turning into an NFT, there's a little button, but it's not working yet.
I look at the NFTs with a good eye, I get a little scared that one day to the next a guy can earn 42 Mi USD, but on the other side of the story going into Discord communities, watching some people on their YouTube channels, I think it's so cool that a bunch of people are interested in art, and the vast majority are self-taught and end up teaching other people only with the acquired experience.
Furthermore, I would like to end this post with a question, can the NFT be considered an artistic avant-garde?
