Anyone else bored of bored apes and the all other generative NFT "art"?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Sure art is in the eye of the beholder, but would anyone actually hang a large scale print of a bored ape or display it in a digital frame? Would you want to look at it day in and day out on the way to the bathroom?</p> <p>The cut and paste, Warhol'esque, repeated imagery with different smirks, glasses, background colors, and clothes get stale quick. Maybe they have a place in NFT history books, but as artwork, meh.</p> <p>Don't get me wrong. Digital art can be mind bending, emotion inducing, and all the rest of what good art does. If you can look at it for more than 10 seconds and not be bored, then maybe there's something to it.</p> <p>But these repeated apes, gorillas, bunnies, sunflower faces, rocks, and low-res digital junkies, are like chia pets or beanie babies. They're a commodity rather than one-of-a-kind work.</p> <p>I've found some really interesting digital art NFT's that are, of course, already prohibitively expensive -- artists like Michael Kutsche (<a href="https://superrare.com/michaelkutsche">https://superrare.com/michaelkutsche</a>) and digital sculpture by Dom Kwek (<a href="https://superrare.com/domqwek">https://superrare.com/domqwek</a>). </p> <p>The wildly colorful works by JenIsu (<a href="https://superrare.com/jenisu">https://superrare.com/jenisu</a>) are still reasonably priced.</p> <p>Now all we need are some decent display options.</p> <p>Have any favorite NFT artists that make you go hmmmm?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/bkcrypt0"> /u/bkcrypt0 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/rxpqe7/anyone_else_bored_of_bored_apes_and_the_all_other/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/rxpqe7/anyone_else_bored_of_bored_apes_and_the_all_other/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
