I wonder how they chose the recipients

Even the soviets checked if the art was any good first.

And who decides what "good" art is? That's completely subjective!
Also basic income should be universal, instead of restricting it more.
If someone wants to live as a failed artist on basic income: let them. Perhaps they even find an art form that they like if they have enough time to figure it out.

Why would anyone do anything if they were paid to do nothing?

Them not really checking anything is the best part of than my opinion, because then anyone can have a basic income for trying to culturally improving themselves.
This is such a great win.

It would be very interesting if any other income were prohibited under threat of imprisonment. It would be a good experiment.

That's not what Basic Income is for. Basic income is meant to cover your basics for survival, a safety net. If you want any additional money you're meant to still work for it. It's not a replacement for employment.

I have a pretty good idea of what UBI is. But in this context, we are talking about people in the arts; they shouldn't be employed somewhere, so that they can devote themselves entirely to creating art.

In an unmarked envelope of cash. Just like business insider’s article shows.
