@oblomov @NIGHTEN @doriane Also I don't get why many artists stopped creating even a simple, free wordpress website showcasing their art. It might be childish or old-fashioned to think that (I was born in 91), but having a web portfolio makes a stronger difference between the crowd of amateurs on social media and the few committed professionals.

@detours_anachroniques @oblomov @NIGHTEN i think it depends the culture! some art practices are more anchored into digital social fabric, like they benefit a lot from the connectedness of a social network. when people go to a club event they will tag the DJ in their story, or have a new tatoo and tag the tatoo artist. For that to work on the web you'll need not only the artist to have a small website but also everyone else so they have their own space within which they can link the artist which isn't the case. But if your work is mostly being contained by collectives or institutions instead of individuals then those might have a website through which they would link you yess!
