@d347h_eth lol at ringers and squiggles subtweet

...and still have religious experiences when looking at p5.js tutorials 😳

3.5+ years since Terraforms deployment. people think they've already seen it all 🫵😹

@SaveliyXDD @ArtofOrb @mathcastles it is active and constantly changing and will be long after we’ve all bit the dust

@ArtofOrb @mathcastles is it still active these days?

so it's been a while since we've had the discussion, but you should probably study Terraforms by @mathcastles

@paroshow @AthleteOptimize @KnicksMuse how is it a step back if they made it further in the playoffs?

Game 1 is now cemented as one of the worst losses in New York Knicks History.

@jaydendonofrio @KFCBarstool this man has a checkmark but doesn’t know ball smh

@KFCBarstool KAT needs to be gone.

The good news is the Knicks have Brunson on the cheap, are in good shape financially with a good core but also enough pieces and picks to make a move. And this type of loss is one where you have to go out and make a change. Time is now. Make that big move, whatever it may be

@redbeardnft @mathcastles @0x113d @xaltgeist about dang time ser

It took me a while to fully understand the brilliance of @mathcastles Many late night chaotic rants on spaces and some beers in person, I get and I also now get @0x113d I picked my forever Mathcastle with my daughter tonight She said it looks like mommy This is how we build

Cycles by Material Protocol Arts Cycles by Material Protocol Arts is a network sculpture composed of space and time, a meditation on recurrence and change. Time and its manner of repeating appear as themes in art and metaphysics through the ages. Heraclitus steps into and out of a river, a new man each time while history draws irregular spiral loops, rhyming and stuttering out its story. At its core, Cycles is a network artwork deployed on Ethereum. It comprises an abstract kinetic sculpture of rotating rings, composed of 512 individual lenses. Each lens represents a unique simulation, moving through parametric space and offering viewers a window into complex, evolving patterns. By using Ethereum as a networked computer, the artwork can develop over time and accept interactions via the network. Importantly, the core of Cycles isn't just a JavaScript file loaded and stored on Ethereum, but instead a program running live on Ethereum itself as a world computer sculpture. Using blockchain technology as material for art making offers artists the chance to make artworks that are new in the context of art history: those that continuously evolve, record their own history, and run autonomously with minimal intervention. Leveraging Ethereum's distributed nature and economic incentives, Cycles aspires to operate on an extended time scale allowing viewers to live with and experience its changes over years, decades or centuries. Cycles is a dynamically running network artwork. This distinction is important because in the history of computer-generated art, many artists have focused on designing computer systems to generate outputs such as drawings, videos, or sound recordings. This is a respectable tradition but this approach fails to express the dynamic and interactive nature of computer programs as artworks themselves. Cycles attempts to explore these qualities by creating a dynamic network artwork that runs continuously and autonomously on Ethereum, shifting the focus from the product of an art-making algorithm to the system itself. Dynamism is a prerequisite for interactivity which Cycles allows for its collectors. The piece includes a method to stop a lens’ movement by freezing it. This causes the lens to focus continuously on the same point in space, causing the changing qualities of its simulation to be fixed and allowing collectors to control its aesthetic presentation. Freezing is a weighted decision. Once a lens is frozen it will require certain conditions to be unlocked. Methods for unfreezing lenses will be unlocked over time. The fact that the behavior of the sculpture can be affected by lens owners means that its future state is non-deterministic and will never be able to be fully predicted. In technical terms, Cycles is composed of Solidity, JavaScript, and SVG code, stored and computed on the Ethereum blockchain. This design avoids external dependencies, ensuring the artwork's longevity and resistance to technical failures. While the current form of Cycles is complete, its nature as a software artwork allows for potential future development through non-destructive updates or connections to other systems. By rendering systemic processes as aesthetic experiences, Cycles offers viewers a unique perspective on the passage of time and the nature of change. It invites contemplation of the cyclical yet varied patterns that characterize both natural and human systems. As viewers engage with Cycles over extended periods, they are encouraged to reflect on their own relationship with time, change, and recurrence, viewing the artwork as a lens through which to observe the interplay of repetition and variation that shapes our existence.

@888Mooncat @pablorfraile @refikanadol @MuseumModernArt @FeralFile ah yep, i think those days are in the past, but definitely agree blur and x2y2 promoted that behavior and zero royalty collections (like mathcastles) were targeted in that time. As far as my analysis has shown, outside of those marketplaces, it isn’t an ongoing trend

i do not "think" it, this is a fact recorded forever on eth blockchain.. reason for it was that on some marketplaces people farmed for points (x2y2 if i remember correctly), and points were derived from volume. Mathcastles did not have set royalties (or were set to 0), so they were suitable objects to send between wallets happened in years 2021 or 2022, lazy to check now 😃

Lots of chatter in CT about @refikanadol ‘s Winds of Yawanawa, but yesterday a thoughtful connoisseur made a move that deserves serious recognition. They swept a collection that I believe is often overlooked but holds unparalleled importance: Unsupervised — Machine Hallucinations — MoMA Dreams As Refik’s biggest patron, I see this collection as the most significant of his career. Refik’s @MuseumModernArt exhibition was a monumental milestone—not just for him, but for digital art as a whole. With almost 3 million people experiencing it live and tens of millions engaging with it globally, it became the single greatest catalyst for bringing digital art to the wider world This exhibition redefined how institutions and the public perceive digital art, marking a pivotal moment in its history. For the true connoisseur—and for myself—a full set from this release represents the ultimate goal, and likely an impossible one now Congratulations to the buyer—you’ve acquired a collection that is not only special, but a true marker of the digital art revolution

@888Mooncat @pablorfraile @refikanadol @MuseumModernArt @FeralFile curious why you think mathcastles project is being washtraded. Are there wallets you see tokens being traded back and forth between? Really just curious what makes you think that’s the case

I also dislike washtrading (think Mathcastles), but in web3 it is very easy to see onchain what was washtraded, and where the volume is genuine, and is due to persistent interest of collectors. As we are in web3 here the fact that art was in MoMA not significant for me personally - it just shows that artist is well connected and/or his influential patrons are well connected, and that is ok, of course. I think web3 digital culture is not to be defined by traditional museums. True web3 culture is something like Miladies (I personally dislike this collection a lot, but my taste is not important) - simply true CULTS of people that really LOVE the collection and live it everyday. Just my 2 cents :)

@mathcastles it’s ya boi

if you have Terraforms in your pfp reply to this, so many great ones

@mintsniper @SportsCenter also the highest vertical in the draft and matched rondo’s steal record in his first season at kentucky

@SportsCenter Strong shooter... But a bit small, maybe?

Reed Sheppard is going No. 3 to the Rockets 🚀

@TyronMcDaniel @HoustonRockets @reed_sheppard this man don’t know ball smh

@HoustonRockets @reed_sheppard Who we trading him to and what we getting back

Welcome to Houston, @reed_sheppard! #NBADraft | #Rockets

@RubenOr52280984 @HoustonRockets @reed_sheppard Dude has the highest vertical jump in the draft, stole and blocked shots like it was candy from a baby and had the highest 3p% in college basketball, sleep if u wanna but hope u like the way those words taste

@HoustonRockets @reed_sheppard Tremendous big men are available, and we pick another guard? The league is becoming a big man's game, and we're going to be left behind. I just don't get it.

“Gonna do whatever it takes to win.” Hear from @reed_sheppard after the big moment!

@TangoMakki @lmsocurious @ungodlyandroid sure bro

@TangoMakki @lmsocurious @ungodlyandroid lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

why is pretty privilege failing her

@redbeardnft love this era for u benny

Gm This man has been driving a boat in Venice for 60 years I asked him if ever wanted to do anything else in his life He told me no because this is what makes him happy We should all do what makes us feel fulfilled This is how we build

@livinversace accept no substitutions youtu.be/pok8H_KF1FA?si… at jackie treehorns house no less

@livinversace it’s not, i think she’s probably thinking of doja cats say so music video bc it sounds…like a cheap ripoff and her video had 70s/disco-ish vibes

How is this nu disco by any stretch of the imagination LMAOO
