What I found most interesting about this article is that as I read it I assumed that the GIF created by Michael Green was going to have been actually sold. I thought that his artist statement about the piece was very poetic and powerful and I would have imagine it catching the eye of someone who wanted it, especially in a day and age where NFTs are a being created and sold for a lot of money. I very much agreed with his comment about how physical museums, like compact discs and books are dead and that we need to change the values of the tradition of modern art by evolving into the digital medium- because that's the world we live in now. If I knew more about NFTs I would have a better understanding of the pricing of this GIF. I think that its harder to want to buy something thats digital because its not as secure as a tangible piece of artwork- it can get hacked, copied, deleted, or stolen whereas with physical art it can only be stolen or damaged.
