Artists never forget those who believed in them early 🔮

"We built cathedrals to preserve what mattered. This vault exists for the same reason. Nifty Gateway closed but its art never will." I'm humbled to see my NG edition was withdrawn into the NiftyGatewayVault to be preserved into the future 🫶 Thank you NG and @33NFT for inviting me to be a part of this history with you. Only 7 editions of 'Natural Inscriptions, Rock' remain on @niftygateway —don't forget to withdraw them by tomorrow.

@aylaelmoussa @TransientLabs Congrats on your newest works Ayla 💐

In Absence Of ___ A Curated drop is now live on @TransientLabs 11 works, each a 1/1 [link below]

@cemhah This is so fun!

packing up ps: gloves are 100% cotton

@annespalter I didn't follow all of it, but saw the comments throwing FND under the bus as to why they pulled out, and it was done in really bad taste.

@CARDELUCCI I didn’t bother to read all the drama but totally agree

and... comments are turned off. LOL

@KRCaptures Amazing, happy to help. Please share with anyone who doesn't know. Once FND is gone many will lose access to those works of art they don't realize are not actually in their wallets 😭

@CARDELUCCI Thank you! And thanks so much for offering to help, It's all good I see now I can go into each piece and de list. At least gas is cheap these days 🙃

So FND is gone? All my work there is minted on Manifold but if I go to Manifold to list the pieces I get "this token does not appear in your wallet". Will pieces left on FND be auto-delisted? How do we salvage it? Wild thing to come back to after a few weeks away.

@dmitricherniak Couldn’t agree more. I saw Irving Penn’s work at Pace in Palo Alto years ago, and even though it didn’t last, it felt right to have that kind of presence here. Node choosing this location feels very aligned, it’s the perfect place where art and tech thrive together.

I’ve been pretty busy with a newborn at home, but I made time for a short trip to Node in Palo Alto. I came away with a lot of positive energy and have been thinking about it since. I do think most artists will almost always prefer a white cube gallery approach, and this is not that. But it became very clear to me that it offers something different. I understand the location much better now. The streets are packed with young people on Friday nights, and it brings in a huge amount of foot traffic. I have always believed in exposing more people to art, and one of the challenges with generative and new media art had been that the scene was more about trying to be a big fish in a small pond, than doing something more. In reality, this work deserves a much larger audience, and I agree that young Stanford University students and technology-savvy families are a pretty good one. Also the equipment is *top* of the line, and the whole team is deeply passionate. I met Phil for the first time, and he clearly loves what he does. I know Pace Gallery previously tried to do something in Palo Alto, but their model was not able to sustain it. This feels different. It did not feel like walking into a traditional gallery or museum where everything is austere. It felt warm. It felt like a seed, a gift from someone who genuinely cares about what is happening in this space. The other side of that, is that as a community we probably need to step up to help shape and support it since it's not a for profit institution. It got me thinking about what my ideal "Node" in New York would look like which was an interesting experiment. I don't know why I am sharing this, maybe because I am just now able to get some proper sleep and am excited to get back into things (multiple exhibitions upcoming this summer), but I do see a lot of doom and gloom lately and I wanted to say as someone who is pretty critical of almost everything, that there is something really nice going on here.

In digital art, long-term preservation should not rest solely with the artist. Stewardship belongs with institutions, collectors, and decentralized networks that choose to preserve and sustain the work.

@HeatherNStout thank you Heather🖤

@CARDELUCCI lovely diptych ❤️‍🔥

mud and stone

@studio_brasch these are gorgeous I love the detail in them

@betty_nft he's a true artist, it was an incredibly moving performance.

I actually can’t stop watching Justin Biebers coachella performance.
