Moments of the Unknown is a film to celebrate humanity. Every day for a year, I created ten-second Super-8 portraits of people across all 7 continents. To show that, as humans, we are one. My mission is to spread peace, love, and friendship through the lens of life. The soundtrack honors the Voyager Golden Record, curated by Carl Sagan and launched by @NASA in 1977. A portrait of Earth sent out to the stars. Half a century later, that record is still traveling outside of our solar system. This artwork is its echo. A message once aimed at the stars, now returning home. Happy Earth Day 🌎

Presale Opened Now! link Below It’s hard to be a musician. Music is one of the most important art forms we have, yet artists are constantly told to create for pennies. We fight algorithms, chase streams, and hope a playlist decides we're worthy of being heard. Even when people listen, those listens rarely translate into meaningful income. The way we consume music feels broken. It's been broken for a long time. I just didn't know how to challenge it. Today, releasing music often means uploading it to a crowded streaming platform, hoping an algorithm notices it or a playlist gives it a chance. Listening has become passive. Music is everywhere, but we rarely experience it with intention anymore. It's become so convenient that we've lost much of the ritual that once surrounded it. I started asking myself a simple question: How do we make people feel again? How do we make them care again? That question sent me down a rabbit hole. I love food, and I love music. The two have always lived side by side, especially within hip hop and the many cultures and subcultures connected to it. We celebrate albums over meals, gather around music at cookouts, and build communities around both food and music. That connection made me wonder: What if music wasn't just heard? What if it could be eaten? That's where Edible Albums came from. An Edible Album is a new way for artists to release music through edible mediums, such as cookies. Each cookie represents a song on the album and contains an edible QR code. As you eat each cookie, you scan the code to unlock that track, turning the act of listening into a deliberate experience. Instead of pressing play on another playlist, you're invited to slow down, taste, listen, and connect with the music one song at a time. The goal isn't simply to sell cookies. It's to create a format where music becomes an event again, something people gather around, remember, and experience with intention, while giving artists a new way to create value beyond fractions of a cent per stream. Also collaborated with @cbuy_cbuy_cbuy where you can get your Ed-ible albums and @DemoDotSupply where the music will be hosted. Thanks for your support

@LadyApeFundy Thanks 😊

@justinaversano So cool

From the gallery to the silkscreen lab and back to the studio! We are up to 25 paintings a session and nearing completion of the final chapter of the project by end of summer. Here’s a timelapse and snapshots of the silkscreens printing process!

@Lambieartist Yours is stunning

@justinaversano Soo freaking cool dude!!!! 😱

@Jediwolf Ready to fly 🪽

@justinaversano Wings for artists. 😊

How do you survive the age of AI? Become an Artist. Create for others what you would still create without recognition, reward or payment.

last month we had two shows in the upper and lower gallery - both around ways of seeing @justinaversano and @goki_muramoto

@mpeyfuss Transient is the best! Components season

Fun fact - this site was built with Transient's embeddable components! We've been upgrading our components quite a bit lately to be more configureable, robust, and efficient. Stoked with how this site came out. Happy die day to those that celebrate 🥩

@lphaCentauriKid You are welcome any time you visit the big city brother! Lets paint and play chess

@justinaversano thanks bro, can’t wait to go see all your silkscreens one of these days!!! Looking killer. I miss my silkscreen days in Brooklyn.

gM and thank you for the love on Bösendorfer 🫶 some details;

@0009ine 🤩🤩

scale matters

@nicedayJules Yes, wonderfully said Jules! World needs more kindness, courage, and vulnerability!

As you scroll past the incredible art on your timeline today, take a moment to remember that behind every JPG is a person who made themselves vulnerable. They had an idea that only existed in their head. They spent hours, days, sometimes years bringing it into the world. And then they shared it with you. How special is that.

Displaying Digitally Native Artworks (at Home) in 2001 Illya Szilak in 2001: "You know, it's not like painting's going to go away - but, certainly it is a new media and it opens up opportunities to explore different tradition media like painting and film and video."

@jedi6900 We are happy to talk about our work to those who are curious! The beauty of this movement is in real time in real life

Imagine being able to message Monet about brushwork or ask Rodin why he left the marble rough. That is what we have right now with onchain artists. Open dialogue, instant, every day. We are living in the salon era, a golden era of artist access, and most people have no fucking idea this is happening. Early.

@alexisohanian Welcome back Alexis!

Love long walks around this city.
