To celebrate I offer a reprise of that work- I see a community BUIDLing through hard times, creating an artworld where vision, dedication, & mutual aid are the currencies that matter 🖤

I love how gen art is leading to a rediscovery of some of the pioneers of minimalism and conceptual art. I’m gonna start posting some of my favorites- let’s start with Agnes Martin:

teaser preview crop of "THREE BODY PROBLEMS 1"
This work represents a new chapter in my process; a departure from realistic referentially in favor of more open or abstract conceptualizations.

I’m changing gears a bit and releasing the first 2 works in the (/) THREE BODY PROBLEMS series ahead of the HERE & NOW experience launch. Minted tonight:
THREE BODY PROBLEMS 1
edition of /33
(link & info below👇)
Jackson Pollock was a drunk CIA stooge who never would have gotten anywhere without Lee and the other women he exploited, and his work continues to be artificially overrated by necrotic institutions that can’t see past midcentury aesthetics
Don’t @ me
Y’all know I love generative art. But the most powerful, enigmatic, and expansive algorithms are the souls of the artists out there sweating every detail of a work, refining and tweaking and discarding pathways, grinding out every little glimpse into the ineffable -

The last 2+ years in the tezos art ecosystem have been some of the happiest in my life- grateful for all the friends, discourse, inspiration, and appreciatooors who have been along for the ride 🖤

It’s that time again... weekly emerging/overlooked artist roundup incoming! Maybe you’re a bit stressed about the market, but last I checked 1 tez still = 1 tez, and I’m here for the art, so let’s all just zoom out a smidge and stay with the work 🖤👇

I'm indeed stepping back from active creation for now
The current ecosystem dynamics don't align with what I value, and I prefer not to contribute to its further decline
I'll consider engaging only with collectors that are thoughtful, deliberate, and show a genuine appreciation
I minted this a month ago, time to finally list it.

PSA: be wary of the low-effort grifts.
Not the obvious scams or anything, more like the rent-seekers in the Tezos community, where opportunities are scarce and artists are desperate.
DYOR and consult community members before agreeing to participation in projects 📞

don't let people tell you this scene is only about greed & front-running & scams & drama
it's also about the impossibility of truly knowing anything with untainted phenomenological certainty & the way art can bring us to a place to both confront & transcend this failing 🖤
