Ha hah!
what do you mean by "value", ruth? value to whom? monetary value,
cultural value, nostalgic value, personal value ... ??
value to anyone with a stake in the question
and all of the above kinds of value and more (please proliferate)
& then, what do you mean by "art" and "artists" ...
every possible definition of art as defined by art lovers, critics,
historians, machines
and artists as defined by themselves and others
h ;)
But I'm not sure that is the question I was looking for!

I’ve been spending a lot of time puzzling over social media lately
and think (horrifyingly) that the value of the latter is increasingly
measured in instagram followers - we’re not yet at the point of
openly sponsored posts, but indirectly I think it’s already happening…

Perfectly put Helen!
Art reframed as a new asset class for fractional ownership ain't my
idea of utopia.
I have a question brewing - that I want to run by everyone - about
the value of art and artists now and in the future.
If anyone can tell me what that question is I'd be very interested
to hear what it is;)
Otherwise...soon...

I noticed this -
"Maecenas touts itself as a blockchain platform that, according to
its creators, will democratise access to fine art. For the first
time, the Maecenas website enthuses, technology will allow
investors, collectors and owners to exchange shares in paintings
and sculptures instantly, akin to the way stocks of a company are
traded today."
This does NOT democratise access to art; it's nothing more than a
secure way to protect and exchange's one investment - which plays
into the notion of enclaving described in Mike Davis' City of
Quartz (think it was written in the 80s). Art has to RESIST
enclaving, unless one accepts useless decoration and
connoisseurship as the only form of art worth considering.
One of the amazing things about Furtherfield is, at least as far
as I can tell, it itself is a form of resistance! I'd thank God
for this, but given the state of things on the planet, I wouldn't
want to burden Her with more communication.
