1/4 THANK YOU MARK McCALL.

When people talk about great coaches, they often focus on tactics, results, and trophies. Mark McCall certainly has all of those, but what made him truly exceptional was the way he led people @Saracens.

amazing to see Rutherford Chang in this survey of major systems artists of the last 60 years

✊ a milestone ✊

Chang's work, as we witness with CENTS, roots in the undercurrents that drive history.

CENTS brought Ordinals into UCCA, one of the world’s leading contemporary art institutions.

CENTS was selected by Christie’s for Beyond the Screen, a highly curated digital art auction that positioned digital art within the wider contemporary art landscape.

CENTS is the only ordinal that has a chapter in TASCHEN’s On NFTs and it has been written about by Frieze, Monopol, e-flux, Bitcoin Magazine, Art in America …

… and I’m not even talking about the community yet :-)

[sovrn.art @sovrnart]

a subtle transformation, becoming an object in the network of all networked art

CENTS is a continual redefinition of the object & its value

from metal disc to image to melted mass in a block to cryptographic entity to free mint to marketized asset

from centralized value ascription to decentralized value perception

from eminence in Bitcoin art to eminence in digital art overall

i just generated an image in the style of a Monet painting using AI

please describe, in as much detail as possible, what makes this inferior to a real Monet painting

[David Rees @DavidReesArtist]

@Jediwolf @Orkhan @SHL0MS This is excellent

[Jediwolf @Jediwolf]

What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The coolest art social experiment I’ve seen in a while. Thank you @SHL0MS

amazing to see CENTS & Rutherford Chang's retrospective covered here! ✊

Art in America is one of the most respected names in art journalism

founded in 1913 (just 4 years after the first Lincoln penny was struck).

This joins this growing list of major publications where CENTS has been covered:

Bitcoin Magazine
monopol
FRIEZE
The Art Newspaper

Art is cool - check this out:

This is token #1969 - the only cent in the collection where the token ID matches the year.

Meats Cents

[die with the most likes @toadswiback]

good meat.

[David Rees @DavidReesArtist]

@RightOnRicky_ Ugh, nightmare. Sorry to hear that mate

[David Rees @DavidReesArtist]

@SamLStandsUp Try and get through the first half and then get chips at half time and play the second half by ear. Some grounds even have a play area which you can dip in and out of. Where are you going?

🌌 The Flow

In the city, the flow of consciousness moves from one threshold to another, slipping between heterogeneous regimes of images.

The blinding light of the present time constitutes the Inferno: a saturated, homogeneous time in which signs impose themselves without depth, in a state of continuous immediacy.

We are proud to see CENTS in monopol ✊✊

Germany's leading contemporary art magazine

A notable quality: unlike most coverage from the fine art world, this article represents a perspective on how the artwork's use of Bitcoin as a medium makes a statement about currency, value, materiality and the presence of these in the current historical moment.

The article gives wonderful coverage of the exhibition Rutherford Chang: Hundreds and Thousands at UCCA Beijing, China's leading contemporary art institution. In it one can see the powerful and prismatic vision that Chang's works bring to the nature of artmaking, objecthood, and the tender absurdity of being a human being.
