ARTISTS ARE INFLUENCERS

OONA asked twitter:  
"If I post a nude holding a skull sitting on my piano with a poem written by chat gpt will it sell for $5k? 

Or does it need to be forklifted into a garage? Or do I need to have zero body fat? Or do I have to get a mediocre male photographer to take the pic? 

If this gets 100 likes by the end of the day I will do it"

And so the image got 100 likes. 
And we are here. 

OONA Reminds You: 
"My practice interrogates the ways women are viewed, within the context of cryptocurrency, and the ways in which womens artwork is undervalued. 

I am of the opinion that male artists using nude women is an overused motif that does nothing to progress how we see women or advance cryptoart as a medium. It simply propagates portrayals of women that have been around since oil paintings, mostly oriented towards male consumption. 

I refrain from commenting on [any artists] specifically because she does not know [them.] 
Nor do I need to know [them] to critique the banal overuse of naked women by male artists within crytpoart."


Poem written by Chat GPT: 
In art"s vast realm, malnourished and forlorn,  
Where echoes of creativity are torn,  
Cryptoart, its potential yet restrained,  
By worn-out motifs that male artists maintained.

Behold, the spectacle of ambition grand,  
Malnourished & adorned, a shallow demand,  
Male artists, aiming high, yet bound by thread,  
Naked women, their currency widespread.

Let us jest at their audacious facade,  
Those masters of mediocrity, flawed,  
Relying on naked bodies for acclaim,  
Their art, an empty vessel without true aim.

For in the vast expanse of artistic sea,  
new narratives yearn to be set free,  
Cryptoart"s full potential, yet untapped,  
While hollow motifs keep progress entrapped.

So let us mock these ambitions mediocre,  
And rise above the banal, the joker,  
For if we yield to echoes of art"s history,  
Cryptoart"s true potential remains a mystery.
