Lately, I have been focused on collecting early AI/GAN works. If you are interested in an exchange or a sale, please feel free to contact me 👊

I wrote a piece on this very interesting debate between @halecar2 and @pridesai:

[David Senra @davidsenra]

Rick Rubin describes his daily struggle:

“There is a part of me that doesn't want to show up for anything and I have to overcome that every day.”

“I'm lazy. It's a real part of it. I'm telling you an honest piece of this which is every day it's not like "Let's go!”

Every day it's like "Oh no. I've got to go work.”

1/14 In this interview @m0dest___ says there is no "secret ingredient". But the interview itself feels like one.

Artists, collectors - take a few minutes to read it. You’ll enjoy it and you’ll learn a lot 🧵

My Saturday evening take: if @sares_at stays the same humble and ambitious person and artist, and if his situation allows him to go all in... he could become one of the biggest artists of our time. There’s already a group of truly great ones, and Santiago might be next.
Let’s see how this post ages, okay?

I keep avoiding X activity for a few reasons. I still feel a bit shy about it. Outside of web3, though, I’ve succeeded in a few different fields, and I know what people usually need in order to succeed.

So...

@muriellondon @laurentCastell Wow, great collector. Congrats Muriel!! Well deserved

[Tommee.eth @TomTadM]

@muriellondon @AdamilaNFT 🤗

[Muriel Lherm @muriellondon]

❤️🙏 Still trying to process this honestly…
My very first sale on SuperRare.

Thank you so much @AdamilaNFT for collecting “Residual Bloom” and for believing in my work from the very beginning of this new chapter. 💎

And thank you @TomTadM for pointing collectors toward my art. Your support genuinely mattered.

SuperRare still feels huge and slightly intimidating to me, but moments like this make me want to keep building.

[Adamila.bit/eth @AdamilaNFT]

🥂What a way to end the week ! So blessed to have won the auction on “Risidual Bloom” by @muriellondon ! Her first SR💎 Piece ! Big thank you to @TomTadM for pointing me to her work! Still some amazing art pieces available so have a 👀

[Tommee.eth @TomTadM]

@muriellondon @SuperRare @AdamilaNFT I keep saying how big of a fan I am of your art. @AdamilaNFT picked my favorite piece of yours on SR.

[Raoul Pal @RaoulGMI]

What happens when the paper your government issues is declared a biohazard?

I sat down with @Coldie to talk about crypto art, the impermanence of fiat, and why the most important artists right now are documenting the people deciding our future. As ever, please enjoy!

Interview with the Artist: #1 crush

“The more time I spent with the work, the more I found myself thinking about folklore, not as a reference point, but as a structural parallel. Folklore doesn’t explain itself. It spreads, attaches, and becomes part of how a community understands itself, often without anyone noticing it happening. These images do something similar. They circulate. They accumulate. By the time you’ve encountered them enough, the question of where they came from starts to matter less than the fact that they’re simply there, and have been for a while.” - Kate Vass

In this conversation, @num1crush reflects on digital mythology, systems of belief, image circulation, internet memory, and the evolving relationship between identity and online culture. Moving between psychology, symbolism, repetition, and atmosphere, the discussion explores how meaning accumulates through images over time and how digital works begin to operate as part of larger cultural systems beyond the artist alone.💈👇

Very well written piece that establishes cleanly that institutions are not “coming” - rather they’ve been here, just quiet because institutions inherently are not interested in hype.

Though what I find interesting about this particular article is that it’s almost exclusively framed around on-chain generative work: Tyler Hobbs, Erick Calderon (Snowfro), Dmitri Cherniak, Matt Hall and John Watkinson (CryptoPunks and Autoglyphs)

Yes there’s Refik Anadol, Mike Winkelmann (Beeple), and XCOPY - but the piece is mostly naming them for impact rather than to establish a wider movement.

More to the point, Refik Anadol is in the AI art category with contemporaries like Orkhan Mammadov and Santiago Sares; XCOPY is in glitch with C4rdinal and AbsolutelyWrong; and Beeple in a mix of 3D art, scifi art, and pop art alongside many depending on the exact dimension you choose here.

But the most interesting thing to me at least isn’t actually any of that - it’s that the article explicitly mentions photography and the ridicule of new expressive forms while failing to mention anything about AI art more broadly.

Artists like Roope Rainisto, Alkan Avcioglu, Claire Silver, David Sheldrick, Andrea Ciulu… the list goes on here.

Allow me a digression into history. Bear with me here.

When photography emerged in the mid-1800s, it wasn’t dismissed as bad art, rather it was dismissed as not art *at all*.

Critics argued that:
> the machine did the work, that
> authorship had vanished because the image was automatic, that
> mechanical reproduction couldn’t carry meaning because art was assumed to require manual labor.

Its accessibility only intensified that backlash: if anyone could do it, then standards would collapse.

What changed wasn’t photography abandoning the machine. It was a redefinition of authorship. Meaning came to be understood as residing in framing, selection, timing, and context.

Does this sound familiar? Text prompts, no creativity, too easy, meaningless slop…

Like I said at the top, it’s a well written piece. But it omits what is actually the most powerful historical parallel - one which is happening in front of our eyes right now - in favor of name brand and high value impact.

AI art is the category that institutions are collecting and which is building a coherent and new visual language across artists, but which is ridiculed by the masses.

Institutions can see the form for what it is and the importance it will come to have.

AI art is the most asymmetric bet.

@thepropgallery I would say @bricktopians

Same artist. same vision. one sells for millions. but the NFT sells for $37.

AI is obviously the future.

Anyone debating otherwise is a fool.

So . . . why are you not buying art that's verifiably pre-ai model ubiquity and early ai art experiments that were cutting edge just a few years ago?

The only excuse is [redaction].

[jonooo @im_jonooo]

Quietly building an insane collector group @sares_at

Huge congratulations!

See his next work in the upcoming Equilibrium group show as part of the @SuperRare x @objktcom Digital Art Festival
