I’m starting to challenge more of the untouchables—both in the physical and digital art worlds.
When I was growing up, there was genuine diversity in art: a wide range of ideas expressed by individuals from different backgrounds. But after the year 2000, the focus began to shift. Suddenly, it wasn’t about ideas anymore—it became about the artist’s skin color, gender, and background. And yet, paradoxically, we were all expected to see the world the same way.
Academia exported its new totalitarian monotheism—a trinity of LGBTQ+, feminism, and DEI—that no one dares challenge. Anyone who questions it is silenced, excluded, and gatekept out.
To be clear, I’m not saying feminism, LGBTQ+ voices, or DEI initiatives shouldn’t be part of the arts. Of course they should. I’m for freedom of expression—for everyone. What I’m saying is that these frameworks should not dominate the conversation to the point that every other perspective is erased or demonized.
I had to learn this the hard way. I’ve spent the past two decades dedicated to empowering women through my artistic process, only to realize I was the wrong form to do it in: a straight white male. Worse still, my approach—one that embraces spirituality, accountability, and beauty—had no place in DEI’s worldview.
There are no openly centrist, right-wing, or libertarian artists in the mainstream. Just naming those political positions feels subversive. And if you take it a step further and explore the foundations of crypto art—freedom, sovereignty, decentralization—you’ve entered truly wild territory. Both the legacy and digital art worlds still pretend the internet, podcasts, and today’s ideological shifts never happened.
If we actually care about diversity, we need ideological diversity. Freedom of speech is freedom of expression. And artists—this current culture is not your friend. It will give you just enough leash to keep serving it, as long as you never question its dogma.
Art isn't meant to worship new idols—it’s meant to illuminate truth, even when it burns.
