@maxand98 @operator_______ @artblocks_io A wonderful acquisition! The concept of bridge works is truly fascinating. Art that speaks to both human and AI, this is where the future is heading! I am looking forward to Act III! 👏💯

Pleased to acquire Human Unreadable #263 by @operator_______ for the AB5D collection This edition of 400 was minted on @artblocks_io in May 2023 This represents work 761 and set 486/500 for AB5D This is a three act work, and #263 had not had the Act II choreographic score minted (I fixed that immediately) Yesterday, thinking about a post by @Sonoflasg I posed two questions: 1. Which cultural objects, if any will AI agents covet? 2. In a world dominated by AI agents, which cultural objects will humans covet? Taking this further, we can extend to: 3. Which works will be valued by both? We can call these bridge works, and IMHO, Human Unreadable is one of those works. To specifically code then decode in such an elegant way, the dissolution of human to digital then back again, Operator demonstrate a deep understanding of the tech/humanist tension. Both a wildly underrated work, and further testimony toward the incredible depth of the Artblocks 500 series. Can't wait for Act III

huge, well-deserved congratulations to @YesClaudiaHart on her selection for @siggraph's Distinguished Artist Award an incredibly important figure in digital culture's progression i was fortunate enough to speak with claudia last year at @lerandomart: lerandom.art/editorial/clau…

@maxand98 @artblocks_io Thank you so much for this reflection. Act III is really coming along and hope to meet you there 🙏🏼

@sashastiles 🔥❤️

off to new york for a conversation with nicholas thompson, head of the atlantic and formerly of wired — two magazines whose tech coverage i devoured in the 2010s as i was writing what later became “technelegy.” i’ve kept many of those back issues. a full circle moment.
