Art and About — DIGITAL: Does the Art Exist?

Posted by Dan Joyce on

Once upon a time, art was painted on cave walls, currency was stamped in silver, and history was etched into stone tablets. We trusted what we could touch. But in the 21st century, we stare into glowing screens and wonder—does it exist if it’s only digital?

Welcome to the post-modern riddle.

From Physical to Digital: The Shift in Trust

Art collectors once coveted canvas, pigment, and patina. Bankers clutched gold, paper bills, and signatures. Everything we valued came with a weight, a smell, a sense of presence. Today, your wealth might live in a string of blockchain code, and the most expensive art you own might never hang on a wall. That’s not a glitch—that’s evolution.

Money has already gone digital. Debit cards replaced dollar bills. Crypto replaced banks. And history? It’s logged in real time, on decentralized servers, written in binary. Physical records have given way to cloud-based permanence.

So why not art?

The Brain Is a Computer (And Vice Versa)

Let’s rewind. The basic structure of the computer is modeled after us—the human mind. Input. Storage. Processing. Output. Just like neurons firing in your brain, a computer chip processes signals and sends messages. But instead of emotion, it gives us data. Instead of a gut feeling, it gives us code.

And in that code, we now store meaning, beauty, and identity. Digital art—especially NFTs—isn’t just a new medium. It’s a mirror of our new mental world. We think digitally, scroll through life, and now—own virtually.

Enter: MAGA MANIA – The President’s Puppets

That’s where my newest collection comes in. MAGA MANIA – The President’s Puppets is a satirical, high-art digital NFT collection exploring politics, power, and puppetry in the modern media circus. These aren't just JPEGs. They're a reflection of our time, encrypted and immortalized on the blockchain.

Every NFT is part of history in the making—indelible, traceable, and shareable in a way no oil painting ever could be. So here’s the question:

Does Digital Art Really Exist?

If you can’t hang it in a gallery, does it matter?
If you can’t touch it, is it real?
If your wallet lives in the cloud, do you?

In the post-modern era, reality is no longer about physical presence. It’s about attention, recognition, and permanence. NFTs exist in a space more secure than paper and more widely viewable than any museum wall.

So yes, digital art does exist—and it’s evolving.

Be a Part of the Digital Renaissance

You’re not just buying a file. You’re joining a movement. A virtual revolution. A new kind of artistic ownership. And in doing so, you’re proving that art can be timeless—even when it has no physical form.

So tell me—do you exist?

Explore. Invest. Question everything.
