I've always been fascinated by how people change.
Not over years, but from moment to moment.
A conversation, a memory, a loss, or a moment of joy can quietly transform how we see ourselves. PβRTRβITS is an exploration of those shifting emotional states and the identities that emerge from them.

on where we are / idiots and scarcity
sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but we nowhere near the comfortable part of our history yet.
digital art on the blockchain is still a knife fight in a parking lot compared to the centuries of institutional momentum traditional art has behind it. we are still tiny. still early. still mocked. still wildly underestimated, and perhaps even more misunderstood.
so no, iβm not interested in sitting quietly in a corner making scarcity-optimized pieces hoping the old world eventually validates us. fuck that.
i want this medium to win.
and winning requires force. energy. experimentation. obsession. people willing to build loud enough, weird enough, ambitiously enough that the world cannot ignore whatβs happening here anymore.
thatβs why i make work every day, incessantly. thatβs why i build systems. games. stories. mechanics. chaos. participatory art. internet-native experiences. because every one of those things is a distribution vehicle for the medium itself. every one is another chance to pull someone deeper into this world and show them that onchain art can do things physical art never could.
i do not believe cryptoart is a phase. i think it is a new creative frontier. a new canvas. a new set of rails for how art lives and moves through humanity.
and if we want that future, we creators and collectors have to bend the world to our will. drag it into existence ourselves. nobody is coming to hand it to us.
so yeah. iβm going to keep showing up every day. exhausted or inspired. confident or terrified. iβm going to keep pushing this boulder uphill with everyone else insane enough to believe this matters.
because i would rather die swinging for the future of this medium than politely wait for permission or acceptance from a world that still doesnβt understand whatβs coming.
thank you for coming to my ted talk. no further questions or comments at this time. except this : if you donβt like what i do or how i do it or how often i do itβ¦
floor it and get the actual fuck out.
