I'm starting a new studio focused on protocol art together with
@neokry_
It's called Material Protocol Arts:
@material_work
We'll be sharing more about our first artwork soon.
Hello, world.
We're Material Protocol Arts, a new art studio that takes seriously the idea that an important and long lasting fine art world is emerging on Ethereum.

Announcement time. After talking to the community, including the
@mathcastles
devs. I'm launching a Terraforms based NFT project to build a free, open source game dev SDK for the
@unitygames
engine that renders the Terraform data in 2D and 3D.
It's called Hypercastle Explorers.

The approach of

in NOT surfacing all the metadata, traits and uniqueness in the properties is very interesting. It rewards close visual examination and crawling over the collection. The people looking at the art can gain an advantage over ppl using rarity platforms. 🧐

Understand the ecosystem:
Rats 🐀: extremely short preference flippers, will mint anything with a whiff of bullishness. Out for cheese.
Squirrels 🐿️: longer time preference flippers, minting to hide in a tree until a pump, often seen larping as and/or confused with collectors.
Gotta leave a little liquidity to feed the rats and squirrels otherwise everything dries up

Terraforms is a living autonomous sculpture computed on the runtime of the Ethereum virtual machine. It’s visualized through thousands of own-able 2d windows which allow users to inscribe their own data on its surface. It points toward dynamic computing and media as an art form.

Definitely true for me, I wouldn't have stayed in this scene 2 years ago if it wasn't for Mathcastles and the community around it.
The ratio of terrible bullshit to cool stuff in this scene is VERY skewed, like 99:1

One thing I’ve learned last cycle is that the game 99% of crypto ppl want to play is the pvp psyops info war MMO of unregulated asset trading, not video games.
The best games for crypto people are zero player self playing games they can own. Games as aesthetic objects to trade.

Solidarity with the folks laid off.
Also it makes me a little crazy to think how much stuff I could have shipped with the runway they have. The ratio of capital to shipped work is extremely low. This space and the way capital is allocated continues to disappoint me.

2) An NFT collection with imaginary fashion houses
3) A series of videos with commentary
