Dear friends, my heart is so full today. I am thrilled to announce that we are officially opening the doors to DATALAND on June 20th! 🏛️✨
Building the world’s first Museum of AI Arts at The Grand LA has been the journey of a lifetime for me, Efsun and our studio.
We cannot wait to welcome you all to step inside these immersive, nature-inspired data worlds and experience the true creative potential of human and machine collaboration.
Thank you for believing in this vision and dreaming with us.
See you in Los Angeles on June 20th! 🌍🕊️🤖
@willweinraub@pudgypenguins Creating physical cards based on an NFT collection is truly a genius move. While everyone does tshirts, caps, stickers or plush toys, this is truly creative and shows the commitment the team has. Congratulations for such a bold action! This is what the crypto ethos is about!
Apotosis opens in 12 hours.
1,000 works. Adaptive pricing. Reserve wallet burn mechanics.
Digital art that kills the noise to amplify the signal. Find out more here: https://t.co/jURsZ3W8Pt
@RtClick_Save@edouard@eleonorabrizi It's hard to talk about all that in the context of digital art which remains extremely volatile. Even visible authors rely only on NFT for data storage. It's almost impossible to find digital copies elsewhere. Once the link rots, the item is gone. This remains the no 1 problem.
@NFT1nsight@ChimpersHQ Plush toys, stickers, caps, t-shirts, remain so far the best tangible outcomes of the crypto industry and NFT collections. Only true visionaries can deliver! Congratulations!
@danielkoeth@batsoupyum Daniel, I recommend you to document your work in an online portfolio. Most NFT authors do not have portfolios and regardless how good their work may be they will be perceived as amateurs, not serious, not professional.
@BoredJosei@pengwinpants You are very talented. I recommend you create your own website to keep track of your works. Never rely on NFT websites, they will close sooner than later and your work will dissapear with them!
🎉 Gm. 5 years ago today “Collision”, my epic collab with @muratpak dropped on @niftygateway, generating $1.3M in sales in 24 hours.
It brought together two very different practices: my background in (messy) oil painting and Pak’s minimalist, system-driven digital language. The project explored the tension between physical and digital, intuition and mechanism.
Released in layered stages, from open editions to 1/1s and physical paintings and prints tied to NFTs, the structure itself became part of the artwork, challenging how collectors thought about process and value. The response was intense, and the drop became a defining 2020 signal that NFTs were evolving into a serious new art frontier.
History moves fast, but some moments still echo. Collision was definitely one of them.
BITROT: THE ONLY RECAP YOU NEED
What is Bit Rot about ?
- Centralization vs Decentralization viewed as a bill made of millions of CC0 NFTs
- Nothing lasts forever, the day an NFT dies, the corresponding tile will go black.
- Bit Rot is NOT legal tender, it is an artwork
- Bit Rot is stored On-chain using Arweave for HQ image backups.
Which CC0 projects are featured in the mosaic ?
- @moonbirds
- MEMES by @punk6529

Where and when is the auction ?
- link: https://t.co/5uvmviwT7T
- on the Nov. 2nd at 10 am PST / 01 pm EST / 6 pm CEST.
- 500 tokens (+ 12 premints to Nahiko/Fingerprints/Highlight)

Example:
- Auction settles at 0.1 ETH
- you bid at 1 ETH
- you'll get .9 ETH back as rebate,
- if you had a 20% discount you'd get 20% of 0.1 ETH back too.
- so you end up having spent 0.08 ETH
Special Thanks & Attributions

- Highlight for helping me make this possible and a great support the whole way
- More specifically to @rekdaus and @klamt_eth for their unwavering support and help
- @rafagrassetti for the amazing PEPE artwork contribution.
@HarleySwann@0xfoobar@primal_cypher Not really. You purchased a token, not a token with attached media. It is the buyers responsibility to keep media, if it is wanted, and it is the authors' responsibility to ensure those who purchased the token can also access the media if they want.
@edouard@niftygateway Niftygateway did not promise, nor imply permanent media storage. This is the promise of some of those who released on Niftygateway. That being said it would be nice of NG offers some update on how they plan to deal with this. This is unlikely to happen though!
GM, dear friends! Working on our studio's 10th year book! So much to cover and will be ready by DATALAND opening in Spring of 2026 and super exciting to share the chapters, new articles from our esteemed collaborators with you all soon!
Dear friends, Living Architecture: Casa Batlló was our proof of concept—a moment where Gaudí‘s masterpiece building became a living memory. Responsive. Emotional. Alive.
Now, that philosophy expands into an entire reality.
At DATALAND, living architecture isn’t just one iconic facade—it’s a permanent ecosystem. Inside our Living Galleries, the Large Nature Model doesn’t just display data; it dreams it. Light, sound, scent, and your presence fuse into a shared, evolving experience.
Casa Batlló was the door.
Dataland is the world beyond it. See you soon! :)🚪➡️
@Arthemort The NFT space is characterized by the lack of artists, curators, collectors and, above all, by two central lies that everyone repeats, motivated by ignorance or monetary interests - Lie 1 - ownership of all rights associated with the artwork Lie 2 - digital media permanence.
