I finally have an answer for those who've asked over the last year how they can support @raster_art:
Please share https://t.co/RAzXKGxSSz with your friends 🙏
0.01 ETH per mint, split equally between us and the artist, tomorrow at 7PM CEST 🩶
What I’ve been building the past months
👇👇👇
Owning an NFT doesn’t necessarily mean you can preserve the artwork.
Much of the digital art we collect still depends on third parties for pinning, storage, gateways and other dependencies. And ultimately, its accessibility can also depend on the continued existence of the networks on which it lives.
For the past months, we’ve been building something to address this.
It’s called Anchor.
Anchor is open-source, collector-owned preservation infrastructure for digital art.
Think of it as the equivalent of a physical art storage vault, but for your digital collection.
How does it work?
→ Add your Ethereum, L2 and Tezos wallet addresses
→ Anchor downloads the media and dependencies connected to your collection
→ Everything is stored locally on your own device
→ IPFS content is pinned through your own IPFS node, while media hosted on private servers is also pinned to IPFS
→ All Arweave content and associated metadata in your collection are stored locally
No private keys. No custody. Just preservation.
You can download the software for free and install it yourself, or use an Anchor Ready device: a plug-and-play version that requires no technical knowledge.
Anchor is open source and free to use.
The idea is simple: collectors should not have to depend entirely on third parties to preserve the digital art they own. Anchor keeps your collection safely stored and under your control — even if Arweave content becomes unavailable, it can be re-seeded to the network.
We’re now opening a small number of spots for beta testers with some developer experience.
If you’re interested, leave a comment below or DM me. And if you know someone who might be interested in joining the test group, feel free to share this with them.
@AnchordotArt is built by Zabux and DagieDee.
1/ You have been watching our logo morph for the last days
On Thursday, you get to mint your unique version 🩶
→ https://t.co/dfMhDgYtQ1 lets you:
• explore the logo system John Provencher @hahajohnx created
• share your favourite outputs
• set reminder for the mint ⏰
Very happy to learn that pieces from {LUMINA}, first exhibited at @MuseeOrsay, have now entered the collection of the Francisco Carolinum Museum.
A beautiful new chapter for the project.
Congrats and a huge thank you to @Tschuuuuly for her generous donation ❤️
You’ll be able to see the works on display during @ArsElectronica week in Linz, as part of the exhibition opening 09.09.26.

@jamiegourlay There was a true "We are so back" vibe to see these problems, like in good old time ... Forget about the wannaberichin5sec flippers that always complain about everything, we know that Verse learn and build from errors, this is the way :-)
Thank you for everything you do !
I'll be giving an online talk with @computerartssoc about the @ReCodeProject presenting work conducted with my students over the years.

. . . perhaps a thread 🧶👇
open call: any generative artists or galleries out there that want to distribute their works without depending on any platform? feel free to reach out to me
i wanted to give fxhash a proper goodbye. 😿
so i built a gallery you can walk through and appreciate some of the best art ever made there. every painting runs live on the wall. many artists have their own side rooms too. #genartclub#generativeart
