dying is not enough 'the next 1000x' by @glitchmarfa the first, last, and only episode @toadswiback x @derekedws

Yesterday was my last day at the Ethereum Foundation. Today we are launching EthSystems. We build confidential systems for institutional Ethereum. I've spent close to a decade building privacy infrastructure in crypto: p2p messaging at @ethstatus, developing Waku protocols at Vac (both now part of @logos_network), mobile proving tooling with @zkmopro, teaching zero-knowledge proofs with my zkintro primer, and advising @ethereumfndn on privacy and access layer strategy. Most of that was aimed at individuals. The past year at EF's Institutional Privacy Task Force (IPTF) we've been looking at privacy for institutions. On the surface this might seem different, but there are a lot of similarities. There's also a very strong market need for it, and the timing is right. I've written in the past about the tension and overlap between cypherpunks and institutions. Twitter is not exactly the best medium for nuance, but right now we are at a sensitive point in time: the defaults for the next generation of financial infrastructure are being set, with or without us. I believe we need cypherpunks in the room when that happens. Excited to start @eth_systems together with my co-founder @motypes and @_rymnc as part of the founding team. See quoted announcement thread for more details. x.com/eth_systems/st…

when will you realize that dying is not enough @toadswiback x @glitchmarfa

glitch Gallery is proud to announce that the namesake artwork from @toadswiback 'dying is not enough' has been acquired by @Blondie23LMD x @RaoulGMI on behalf of 'Something Bigger' for 50 ETH. All other seventy five 1/1 artworks will be made available via no reserve auction starting July 14th @ 9:00 AM (PT). The 'dying is not enough' namesake work is a concentrated expression of the larger collection's central theme. It gathers the emotional core of the project into a single loop - every lost memory, every feeding-tube drip, every quilt falling to the floor, every machine hum, every flower in the waiting room, every hand reaching for what remains. It is a meditation on loss, memory, erosion, and the strange persistence of being remembered after the self has begun to disappear. dying is not enough

a few notes on DRIVE // LAP 2, a crypto art collection by @dave_krugman DRIVE // LAP 2 assembles 333 photographs of vehicles drawn from a decade of street work by acclaimed crypto art photographer @dave_krugman and anchors them to the ethereum blockchain taken together with the artist’s 2021 collection DRIVE, the photographic work forms an archive of incidental encounters – cars as they appear in the city unposed and unannounced krugman shoots each image from the same lateral angle, the camera held parallel to the street the consistency lends the series the character of a typology, recalling the systematic catalogues of Bernd and Hilla Becher or the automotive inventories of early twentieth century commercial photography yet here the classification is loose, governed by chance rather than taxonomy a vintage jaguar before a brownstone a sedan in motion, streaked by city light the archive accumulates not through intention but through the artist’s itinerary this work was exhibited at glitch Gallery on november 15, 2024 installed not only within the gallery but in front of it, on the street amongst a sea of cars donated for the exhibition by marfa locals hundreds attended notably a car on display during the DRIVE // LAP 2 exhibition sold for cash during the show today, we’re excited to immortalize @dave_krugman’s DRIVE // LAP 2 exhibition at @glitchmarfa, where it will forever live as an exhibition poster on the ethereum blockchain as well as announce our next ‘burn to redeem’, powered by @transientlabs first, to our @glitchmarfa full set holders, our community of passionate art collectors since 2023 all unique ‘Full Set’ holders – a total of 187 unique wallets – were airdropped one DRIVE // LAP 2 poster earlier today you can now view your poster directly from any wallet interface, or at the @TransientLabs link: @glitchGallery/created" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">transient.xyz/@glitchGallery… for all other @glitchmarfa supporters or @dave_krugman collectors – we’re excited to give folks the opportunity to redeem any number of DRIVE // LAP 2 posters – until July 13th, 2026 – using @TransientLabs ‘burn and redeem’ product instructions: if you own *any* previous @glitchmarfa ‘Exhibition Poster’ from @glitchmarfa, from now until July 13th, 2026 you can ‘burn and redeem’ any single poster from the ‘Exhibition Posters’ contract and immediately receive a @dave_krugman DRIVE // LAP 2 poster in return, at the below link on @transientlabs: transient.xyz/redemption/eth… please redeem as many posters as you’d like during the window, which will end on July 13th, 2026 @ 8:00 AM (PT) as always, we’re grateful for your support long live crypto art your glitch curators - @magey_mage, @maltefr_eth, @derekedws

Joe's work is brilliant on its own, but I revisited two of the best pieces I've come across while thinking through this. Both well worth a weekend read. @maltefr_eth, @magey_mage, and @derekedws "Fragments of Familiarity: Joe Pease, Filming Life" released in conjunction with the collection. glitchmarfa.com/30dm/joe-pease/ And @maxand98's great intro "Who the f*ck is Joe Pease." x.com/maxand98/statu…
