Portrait of the Artist as a Shitcoin

SHL0MS typifies a new "Consensus Artist," whose derivative work gains value from audience coordination, much as a shitcoin's price depends on a group's agreement. The text cites his 2022 detonation of a Lamborghini Huracán, with 999 explosion-footage fragments sold as NFTs, and calls the Monet stunt at least the fourth version of "post a real X, claim it is AI." Monk Antony's defensive thread places SHL0MS in a tradition running from Plato to Varela on the basis of shared topic alone. The coordination, not the artist, is what the platform produces, and it will dissolve once the audience loses interest.
