WTS listed as best Digital Art of 2025 by @artnews. Special thanks to @SolanaFndn @Pedromiranda @jnwng @nkumar23 for their support in helping to bring WTS to the High Line. WTS runs for 15 weeks 24/7 & experiments w/ inscriptions & performative mints to document time based media on @solana

Watch this talk for more insight before seeing the show: youtube.com/watch?v=Rbf76n… When these went to auction two years ago, I spoke about the perils of transcoding, scaling, authenticating, and selling an artist’s digital work posthumously, especially when the project relied on recovered .pict files, not confirmed native Amiga originals, and when the display format was shaped by collector preference rather than conservation ethics. I also, of course, discuss why putting bytes on a blockchain is not preservation in itself, and why these should be understood as a very specific kind of exhibition copy.

@culturehacker already looks dope

Do you have any aesthetic preferences, or particular styles that resonate with you? @PompousLL - Aesthetically, I’m drawn to work with strong structure, color, rhythm, and a clear visual identity. While my physical (and digital) collection is largely generative art, I find that there is an overlap in aesthetic qualities that also makes me enjoy certain glitch art and AI art.

“A pioneer in the Graffiti Art Movement” Coming to @cycol_gallery Coming to @exchgART Coming to @solana The difference between us and what others did during peak 22 is that there are no promises, no guarantees, just a level of understanding being part of an art community that was once told their work was not real art, and a level of respect for what my team and I have done and how we move. This is not even Cycol’s true form yet.

I have been literally waiting for years for a networked, dynamic NFT project by @jamesbloom_ on tezos. But it was worth the wait: ‘Contingent’ touches upon so many essential topics, such as the nature of digital images and the very act of seeing them, and all departing from the seminal work by the pioneer artist Gottfried Jager. Unmissable.

I love this show!! @hollyherndon and @matdryhurst are defining Protocol Art in Venice.

I’ve seen a lot of talk about access to and costs of attending Art Fairs. An important detail new people might not know is many of the non-Art Basel fairs (NADA, Frieze, Scope, Red Dot, etc..) started in reaction to just that, artists and dealers feeling like the couldn’t break through the institutional barriers of the “real” art world so rather thank keep fighting it they decided to set up their own thing on the side instead. Can’t afford a venue? Rent out a floor in a hotel and show art in each of the rooms. These mini fairs did something new and exciting and “emerging” and drew attention from the bigger fairs which were supposed to be new and exciting but had gotten stale and crusty and expensive. The small fairs became big fairs. Attention has gone back and forth and all the fairs have had to wrestle with what they are doing and who they are showing. As an ex-gallery owner who closed the gallery in no small part to how the whole art fair industry was negatively impacting gallery business I have complicate feelings about it all, but the point is that you can just do things. You don’t need permission. And while I appreciate people working to break down the barriers and build new things, I always want to remind people they can do things on their own as well. You don’t have to “get in” or be approved by anyone else.

I jumped out of the shower just in time to talk about our event for Frieze Week with Le Random. RSVP in my comment below if you can join us for a drink at 5pm on the 16th!
