gm, say it back 🙏🏼

Excited that my avatar's 1-day training journey is finally online. backflip was a potentially unwatchable experiment and took 3 years to make. Honored that it screened and spoke to audiences at so many festivals. Still scared of backflip & AI. This film is my therapy. 🔗below

Gn all feet lover..

One of the most creative projects in the NFT space right now is @visualizevalue's Opepen. @jackbutcher's team has combined unique drop mechanics, tasteful art, and a clever distribution algorithm to build a unique experience for holders. Let's break down how it all works 🧵:

Photography´s new playground; the NFT space. Through @fellowshiptrust we´ve been building an arts organization that focusses on championing photography as one of the most important art forms of the last 200 years. This medium affected painting, drawing, and everything in art. It of course also changed society and the way we documented our culture and everyday life leading us to a hyper visual society. Since the first experiments of photography as a digital image in the 1950s, the medium was exploring better ways to distribute itself. It would take that digital technology another 40 years to find a way to be used through the world wide web, fulfilling it´s dream of finding more viewers but also finding itself in the middle of a devaluation because now, you can share it for free through the internet. "Internet killed the photography star". Indeed this was true for some. For the past 30 years, photography saw itself in a push and pull of why it should be valuable. At the same time that the internet and its free sharing became mainstream, photography as art became a thing and photographs started harnessing sale prices of millons of dollars. At the hight of this bifurcating path for the medium, of harnessing value as art but suffering a devaluation as a digital object, NFTs came into the scene. Suddenly it was viable, just how music industry had years ago understood the importance of harnessing the inevitable value for the digital manifestation of songs, digital art, photography and generative art had found a place to emphasise the importance of art as an original digital object (e-flux.com/journal/85/156…). For photography as art though, there has always been a struggle in it´s valuation because of it´s "reproducibility". Editions made for collectors sometimes passing on the opportunity of collecting masterpieces because they were editions (and all the complications that brings). In comes again the NFT technology. We can now offer as photographers and digital artists, unique 1/1 digital objects that can be collected, but also shared freely through the internet for the general public to enjoy. The artist gets paid for their art, the collector has a clear provenance to their digital original, and photography´s inevitable pulse to spread and reproduce itself, all combine in a positive outcome. All that to say, that for us at @fellowshiptrust, we are here to help photography as digital art (and it´s crossings with Ai and generative art) find a new wave of consolidation. We are doing this through very high quality projects and also by thoughtfully finding ways for the broader photography world to see the value of NFTs as unique objects. Our efforts to consolidate the NFT space are inwards and outwards. For example, last year we launched an ambitious project that would look at photography´s past through the work of August Sander and re-introduce it to a whole new set of collectors via the blockchain. Having worked in an photography archive for many years, I had witnessed how photography can become numb and silent when stored and not circulated. This effort with the Sander Family proved how photography through NFTs can become visible and exciting to new collectors and fans of the medium. This year we pursued new avenues to foster better understandings of NFTs outside of the space. These efforts have resulted in the placement of @dmitricherniak´s work "Light Years" into the collections of @LACMA and works of my "Carpoolers and Suburbia Mexicana" projects into the @SFMOMA collection. Small steps to help more artists and the general public understand the value of digital objects. Photography is alive and well in the 21st century and there is way much more to do to disseminate it´s value as a mechanical artifact, capable of transforming culture and creating new visions of our world. It has been doing it for 180 years and we see it doing it for many more, especially as an expanded medium that will build into itself algorithms and Ai tools. It is exciting to see that the NFT space has now become the melting point to consider the past, present and future of the photographic medium. As a machine made art, it is possibly at it´s peak of it´s importance.

@Tschuuuuly what! wait i am not hyped jet..but i think next cat videos again..

AI hype is over . whats next

Ready for take off?

Meme Analysis: NPC Streaming - Dehumanization, Escapism, or the Allure of the Unreal. In a digital landscape where individuals willingly transform into virtual marionettes, controlled by the whims of their audience, the NPC streaming trend emerges as a chilling reflection of our increasingly mechanized and (seemingly appearing) dehumanized society. NPC Streaming is a fascinating phenomena capturing the attention of the memetic web but where should we begin? The earliest known Live streamer to adopt this style was @natuecoco, a Japanese TikToker. During her livestreams, she would mimic the behaviors of video game NPCs, lightly bouncing or performing idle animations, only reacting when she received a monetary gift. The general concept of TikTok content creation should not be anything new. It has essentially consumed an entire generation of youth seeking fame, attention, money, and the like. However, something about NPC Streaming has struck a nerve with the masses. Streamers willingly surrender their individuality and agency, transforming into robotic puppets controlled by external influences. This reflects a collective shadow manifestation, where individuals disown their autonomy and seek solace in a simulated world, blurring the boundaries between the virtual and the real. The audio/visual components of NPC streaming also play a significant role, as they mimic those found in casino or pay-to-play phone games. This aspect adds to it's addictive allure, tapping into the human psyche and its susceptibility to reward one's stimuli. The motivations of those who pay these streamers are multifaceted. Some find entertainment in their control of others, while others view NPC streaming as a form of escapism, temporarily shedding the complexities of their own lives. Whether NPC streaming is performance art or human degradation may vary. However, when high monetization is of the essence, virality is sure to follow. This dystopian trend exposes our inclination to emulate virtual identities and raises the thought-provoking question of whether, underneath it all, we as undoxxed Twitter users are more similar to NPC Streamers than we realize. #memeanalysis

Incredible nightmare fuel

@Tschuuuuly @ooeculture @WeidingerAlfred Congrats..clever move from @WeidingerAlfred

I started a new life outside the Punks Discord in another metaverse: I am the new curator for contemporary art at the digital Francisco Carolinum in Linz (@ooeculture). Thank you for this amazing opportunity, @WeidingerAlfred!

🐁Wow…..must read‼️ The "Universe 25" experiment is one of the most terrifying experiments in the history of science, which, through the behavior of a colony of mice, is an attempt by scientists to explain human societies. The idea of "Universe 25" Came from the American

An outtake from exploring some new stuff
