you know what's beautiful about midi? it's like a physical painting, almost. you don't just have a flat final image (recording), you have every brush stroke, you can appreciate more details of how it was composed

type of thought that hikari has when she is staring up close in wonder at a painting that used to hang in the foyer of the palast der republik

‪a physical painting is such an incredibly beautiful object up close‬

people talk about art collecting as if it's just a money laundering tool for rich people but i totally get it. if you loved a painting and wished to have all the time in the world to be able to appreciate every inch of it, why wouldn't you spend a million dollars on it

@hikari I think they mainly keep them in boxes at the airport tho

@mcc you know what, that's more offensive to me than anything about NFTs ever could be. at least an NFT can be publicly appreciated by anyone

@hikari it is the exact same idea. Create a Nothing that can be traded back and forth like an asset. Just instead of a number the thing you're trading back and forth the title to a piece of art trapped in a crate in a duty free warehouse

@mcc suddenly wishing for the likes of Masterworks to die

@hikari @mcc I can recommend this documentary if you want to know more about freeports.
