Marfa Airplane Thoughts:
I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars supporting artists over the last four years since joining the space.
Zero percent chance I would have done that if it wasn’t for 6529 network and the likeminded people that are constantly discussing art and our deep belief in the success of NFTs.
Collect what you want, where you want, and how you want. Freedom to Transact.
However, we should be constantly thinking about how to move from PvP to P^P. Celebrate those that are still building, still creating, still collecting.
If you don’t like an approach, then you certainly don’t have to participate. However, if you care about the success of the space and you care about its future… please critique with the intent of helping the builders make things better.
I am very proud of all of those that continue to build our collective future and those that work to understand and make things better.
We are going to make it because of exactly this. Drown out the noise, keep bettering yourself/the space and we will attract more amazing people to join this movement.
Anyways catch yall in Marfa! Can’t wait to meet even more remarkable people.

This year in Marfa, I look forward to:
- Live reporting over coffee
- Seeing Birds fly at sunset
- Managing all @GarryB1rd hellos and grief related to his absence
See you soon!
I have a long history with @opensea. It was where I first listed my art for sale. It is where I made my first sale. I came into NFTs with no curator platform interest (many email attempts), so I went to the open platform to share my work like many of us did.
My whole story is there. You can see most of the movement happen on decentralized rails, held in the history tab on OpenSea.
Fast forward 4 years. OpenSea is presenting Birds in Marfa. I have so much gratitude for this opportunity.
We give platforms a lot of shit. I have empathy, having worked at a few. Wen airdrop? Why USDC? We bash them on the timeline and sometimes forget that behind every platform is a group of people.
OpenSea has one in particular who made Birds happen.
@adamilenich
He fell in love with Birds via @RogerDickerman and wanted to show them. I think they had different expectations for what I would do, but they gave me grace to run and bring in patrons so we could run fast enough that we all just might fly.
It was Adam’s fire that relit the fire in me.
Birds Marfa would not have come to be without him.
Adam, thank you so much for finding something in Birds. And bringing the best out of me.
This year in Marfa, I look forward to:
- Live reporting over coffee
- Seeing Birds fly at sunset
- Managing all @GarryB1rd hellos and grief related to his absence
See you soon!

Space design is a key element of our upcoming OCCUPY series.
We asked ourselves: what can we offer to artists that sparks creativity?
Our answer comes as three unique screen layouts: a floating cube, an immersive room, and two LED pools.
We can't wait to see what you create.
