One of the quiet downsides of blockchains (especially in the context of art) is how good they are at making transactions easy. This sounds like praise, and often it is framed that way. Frictionless markets. Global access. Instant liquidity. No gatekeepers. All true... And also deeply consequential in ways the NFT space hasnβt fully reckoned with. Historically, art didnβt become valuable because it was easy to buy. π°π ππππππ ππππππππ πππππππ πππππππ πππππππ...

Ramblings of a Degen by SonOfLasGAGI. On the Term "Avant Gay"
The name itself seems to have emerged half jokingly.
βπππππππ π‘βππππ βππ£πππ‘β βππ πππ€ππ¦π ππππ ππππ‘π‘π¦ πππ¦ πππβ
βππππ π€π πππβπ‘ ππππ ππ‘ πΊππ¦ ππΉπβ
βππ πππ’ππ...β
Meme quickly became shorthand. βAvant/Gayβ seems to reframe what avant-garde means in a digital native art world. Where βavant-gardeβ once described the vanguard of modernism, the βgayβ twist signals camp, chaos, excess, refusal to conform to any clean lineage..?
Nothing to do with sexual exclusivity... Itβs a posture, an attitude, a way of being in art...
ππΎ Excessive where others are restrained?...
ππΎ Unserious where others chase seriousness?...
ππΎ Resistant to tidy categories?...
Avant/Gay NFTs mark a fork from both the polished fine art lane of Ethereum and the finance heavy meme lanes of crypto culture.
The term itself is both joke and manifesto. Ridicule and call to action. Born out of banter, but crystallising a movement that thrives precisely in being hard to pin down.
