PoseidonDAO is in hot water after releasing a reckless tweet publicly slandering a Web3 artist. After putting countless hours and energy into your work, watching it sell should bring good luck. Instead, Alessandro Bavari received malicious tweets from PoseidonDAO targeting his reputation and self-esteem.

So what happened?

Three days ago, PoseidonDAO bought one of Alessandro’s artwork entitled “Coaxial Sharing Of Their Big Deception”. for 7 ETH. A day later, Alessandro sold another track, The Electric Saint. for 3.5 ETH. Before we get started…Hooray for Bavari!

Well, this is where things take an unnatural turn.

After selling The Electric Saint, Alessandro expressed his gratitude the new owner for his business and congratulated him on his new purchase. After that, PoseidonDAO also went to their Twitter account and congratulated the new owner.

However, in the same scrambled breath, PoseidonDAO announced that they “will no longer support”. Alessandro Bavari’s art. Accepting a bid for just 3.5 ETH (over $9,000) “shows us that Bavari is not only INCAPABLE of appreciating us as collectors and investors, but also incapable of appreciating himself as an artist.”

PosidonDAO’s ruthless actions have garnered widespread support for Alessandro, as many feel Posiedon’s opinion of an artist should be kept to himself. Especially when it comes to assessing what an artist considers fair compensation for their work. As with many things, art is subjective and its value can only be measured individually through experience or emotion with the piece. While you might pay five, I’d happily pay twenty. In the end, however, the true measurable value rests with the Creator.

Alessandro reacts to PoseiDonDAO

As a “visual artist with lateral thinking”, Alessandro Bavari creates stunning, unique 3D animations. Admired by many, you must see to understand its twisted constructs. Alessandro responded wonderfully to the events that happened after PoseidonDAO’s unprofessionalism.
