Onchain art is now being curated at multiple levels: institutional, individual and collective, with much of it centred around exhibitions and artworks.
This mode of curation sets the tone and format for a specific type of legacy narrative and spatial relationship.
What other types of objects (apart from artworks) does the cultural layer of Ethereum contain?
How else can these objects be collated, assembled and disassembled?
"I. The artist makes a work. II. The art-work is only incidentally a document. III. The art-work is a masterpiece. IV. On art-works, artists learn their craft. V. Art-works are remote from each other in their perfection. VI. In the art-work content and form are one: meaning. VII. Meaning is the outcome of experience. VIII. In the art-work subject matter is a ballast jettisoned during contemplation. IX. In the art-work the formal law is central. X. The art-work is synthetic: anenergy-centre. XI. The impact of an artwork increases with repeated viewing. XII. The virility of works lies in assault. XIII. The artist sets out to conquer meanings."
