SUBLIME SPECTRUM

#cryptoart is constantly trying to catch the eyes of buyers through motion, aesthetic, and color. In this curation, entitled Sublime Spectrum, we focus on the use of animation and spectrum to attract the eyes — and wallets — of prospective NFT owners. For speculative buyers in the early #cryptoart movement, the ability to resell works is crucial. It is then not surprising that their eyes gravitate toward works that splash color and complex, writhing dynamics onto screen: these features serve as a Schelling point that facilitates a reason for later resale — novelty and shininess.

Are the eye-catching, dynamic works in Sublime Spectrum an early experimental kitsch, the artists’ ingenuity, or a subtle financialization of art? Perhaps a little of each. But one thing is certain — you can own these unique pieces on the blockchain and attempt to resell them later.
