#nftsaturdays
Taking a step back to look at the @damienhirst NFT project that closed a few weeks ago, I saw this article on @artnet and...I dunno...maybe I'm just missing something.
I don't know much about 'art' or the 'art world', but I do know numbers. And when the title of an article, referencing the whole project, says that there is a 'resounding preference for traditional art', I would expect the numbers to show an unmistakable or empathic percentage of numbers going one way or another. Ie: 98% to 2%. Or maybe even 80% to 20%. But 75% to 25%? That's only a 3 to 1 preference. I don't consider that emphatic. Do you?
In this particular case, exactly 51.49% of collectors went with 'traditional art', and 48.51% of the collectors went with 'digital art'. Hardly a 'resounding preference'. If this were a rational world, someone would likely look at these numbers and say that one has a 'slight edge' over the other, but crap like this is what threatens the powers that be, so they'll be happy to offer misleading info in order to paint the picture they want to paint.
Anyway...congrats to all who participated. This was a unique project and I'm happy to have been a part of it.
