The subjectiveness of art is by far what makes it the most interesting, but not enough people here have conviction in their opinions or care to have one at all. Just because a digital object lives on the blockchain doesn't necessarily mean it is interesting or has new meaning.

i minted two right before sell out and still haven't checked what I got. the support on the timeline and the sweet messages are amazing! simply nothing better than art dominating the conversation on any given day. or maybe i'm just in a biased bubble today! regardless I love

Unpopular opinion: I dislike when I hear people describe artists in this space as a “Crypto Artist” or “NFT Artist”. To me, It’s the equivalent of saying a “Canvas Artist” or “US Dollar Artist”. The tools and mediums in which you create doesn’t need to be labeled as such.

if your here now, soak this all in. i promise you Erick had no idea this would be the outcome to his experiment back in 2017. it's not often we come across moments like these. future generations will discover Chromie Squiggles and be mind blown that you had witnessed that

I didn't think it was possible for me to shake the nerves but I successfully collected a NonceStratum. What a beautiful collection, Zeblocks never disappoints.

thanks for the quick response Cath and i agree that is how most people in this space think. this post is in response to "scarcity is so important to most artists and collectors." i want to address some questions i have regarding supply, demand, and how scarcity can be a mental

I can’t stress enough how generational this opportunity is. Look around at the artists in this space. Reading @randomcdog interview with @MattKaneArtist has me ready to run through a brick wall. The innovation, sheer power, and unlock with the blockchain empowers code-based

A much clearer picture of my diptych! When I saw this output I fell in love and it’s now twice as amazing. Nothing “rare” about it other than the warm, fuzzy feeling I get inside when looking at it. Going to look epic in print format.

The biggest challenge of curating is walking the fine line of offering over my opinion to someone who has very high conviction in their artwork. It’s hard but it’s what I love most about my job. The process of walking through the minds of some of the smartest people I’ve ever

While I spend 99% of my time embracing myself in the digital art ecosystem here sometimes you need to take a step back and appreciate the natural beauty in oil paintings. If you're stuck and don't know what to do next, I highly advise you to seek out inspiration...🧵

My ambitions in this space are largely tied to the artists creating here. Innovating is always top of mind. Deep research influences my qualitative analysis. I want to be known for my publishing and support.

One day you will look back on this moment and realize how lucky you were. While everyone is stressing about prices, finding the next memecoin, and building yet another socialfi app.... artists are experimenting and pushing the blockchain to its limits. you have a generational

how do we discern from artists who use AI that they've built themself versus AI that is curated from a dataset that exists? imo it is important to recognize those who code and train their own models to produce results! there is something particularly intersting by someone

Diid Daily It's the most technical, impressive project that I've taken on to date. I'm very proud of Diid and the work that has gone into it. Diid embodies so many things that I look for in an interesting artist. Machine In The Ghost isn't like anything you've seen before. It's

I’m thrilled to announce the release of two incredible prints by the talented artist Rich Caldwell. Rich’s innovative approach to drone photography is truly something to watch. He captures landscapes, seascapes, and cityscapes in ways that often make me see the world differently.

I find it strange behavior for people to buy things and publicize that this is the last time these internet objects will ever be available. I’d make the argument they will be more available then any other piece of art on the planet. Never before in history have we been so in
