    No, lol I think the lemming saying we would try to nuke them is spot on but jokes aside most people wouldn’t give a rats arse about these new aliens and only a very small minority would try to create art that appeals to their tastes- just to see if they can cater to their standards.

        Hehehehe selling art is very hard already, you want to do so to a race of snobbish aliens? I mean 100% with you that’s what they will attempt, but I have my doubts on profitability

    Trumpists would label them illegal intellectual elitists and hate them.

    What would an advanced alien race even consider fine art?

    Six dimensional termite mounds?

    Or they could see in a smaller range of frequencies, so what looks like a plain white room to us is a masterpiece of modern art to them?

      Its already a master piece to humans if sold by the right salesperson artist.

    Based on our human history of snob thinking they’re better and then enslave those they think are barbarian, yes, but not before they enslave most of us and then spare some.

    Just send them all the alien movies where humans win, call them documentaries and watch them run.

    No, we would instead make interspecies pornography of humans boning the aliens and further diminish our status in their eyes. Dommy mommies scoffing at the entire planet. It would be a diplomatic catastrophe.

    No we’d start pretending we’re even less sophisticated.

    Doubtful but I bet a lot of people would start saying paintings don’t really exist.

    Whose definition of fine art? This could be an amazing rebranding opportunity
