“Instagram is no longer a photo sharing app”
- Adam Mosseri, Head of IG, June 30th 2021 (source & tweet)
Sooner or later, every social media makes a bad moves sooner or later. This one profited to Twitter, not sure it was the case for Tumblr.
What makes art valuable
-Here is a quote from 2011 that would work very well with NFTs today.
“The important thing to remember is that value isn’t only linked to quality. Something that can send the price of a painting rocketing is what’s known in the art world as provenance: Who has owned the painting in the past.”
“And in the case of Rothko’s white Center, it was owned by one of the wealthiest and most powerful dynasties in America: the Rockefellers, who amassed their fortune from oil and banking and reshaped the New York skyline with the Rockefeller Center.“
“In 1960 David Rockefeller paid less than ten thousand dollars for “White Center” half a century later it was worth more than 72 million dollars. Today the painting is even known informally as the Rockefeller Rothko which says it all! The name of its former owner is as important as that of the artist.” - Alastair Sooke
“the value of a painting at auction is not necessarily the value of the painting it’s the value of two people bidding against each other because they really want the painting” - Arne Glimcher

Tom Schulman Quote
“And medecine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love: these are what we stay alive for.” – Tom Schulman, “Dead Poets Society”
Street artist: WERC
Jari Werc Alvarez was born in Ciudad Juarez (1980), Mexico and grew up in Texas where he began his artistic career. Werc is clearly an art activist: He reinterprets and explores the balance and duality of our and identity and society. Subcultural symbols, magical artefacts, vibrant colors, confusion in shapes and hybrid figures of man and animal gives off a spiritual vibe.
The reference to his Mexican and deeper Mayan heritage is bleeding through his art, but at the same time, he uses graphic styles popular in the States.There must be here an homage to the work of the South American filmmaker, philosopher and writer Alejandro Jodorowsky. His art can kidnap your mind to places you never thought it could go. Werc believes that Street Art can weave communities thoughts and aspirations.

Artist: Fabienne Verdier,
At first, graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Toulouse, then used her scholarship to get enrolled at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in Chongqing. She met Huang Yuan, a Sichuanese calligraphy master and landscape painter, who reluctantly became a mentor. He believed women should not practice calligraphy. There were also language problems, Huang only speaking the Sichuan dialect. However, Verdier was eventually apprenticed to Huang for 10 years, before returning to France.

‘Deconstruction’
Sometimes people just want to get inside your head. Only to realise how fragile the foundations.
