I was browsing my book list when I stumbled upon the book "I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf" by Grant Snider. Have you ever considered how someone might judge you based on your books and bookshelf? Or how someone might judge you based solely on your web3 wallet? Will they see you as a professional expert and collector, or a novice seeking financial gain? These are the questions that came to mind when I saw Grant Snider's book, and it led me to reflect on my own interests and passions.

The first photographs were created around the 1820s, so it took a hundred years for photography to be recognized as a serious medium in art - a topic that seems normal nowadays. But today, we are facing a phenomenon called NFT photography, which we do not have a correct definition of, and we have faced the debate many times whether they are art or not.

Imagine living in the 90s and one night you decide to go to an art gallery or a museum. Needless to say, you expect to encounter some paintings and sculptures there. But instead, you see a pile of shiny, colorful candies spilled in the corner of the gallery. You are allowed to take and eat from them. What's your initial thought? Don't you think that art has gone into decline? Is it possible for something to be a valuable work of art if it can be easily bought from the supermarket and arranged in the same way? What exactly did the artist do? In the end, you probably conclude that this is not art.

Imagine hearing that there is an artwork that contains actual shit, and that it is being sold at the price of gold. This is the shocking reality of Piero Manzoni's "Merda d'artista" series, in which the Italian artist cans his own feces and labels the cans with his signature and the words "Merda d'artista" (Artist's Shit). This provocative and challenging artwork challenges our assumptions and beliefs about art, and forces us to confront our own reactions and feelings about the use of feces as an artistic material. Is this art, or is it simply a gross and disgusting stunt? Is it worth the price of gold, or is it a waste of money? These are the questions that Manzoni's "Merda d'artista" series raises, and they are questions that we must each answer for ourselves.
