Regular Animals by @beeple at @artbasel marked a watershed: a digital artwork becoming the defining installation of the fair and signaling a real shift in how internet-native work enters the dialogue.

Continuing on that momentum, we are pleased to announce that Beeple's "Diffuse Control" will be joining 10,000, the Punks exhibition at @nodefnd. Arriving from an exhibition at @LACMA, the kinetic, AI-driven sculpture will be curated in partnership with @larvalabs to explore and link Punk typologies to centuries of portraiture.
