i minted my first nft collection as a full-time artist.

the work is built from a hopfield network, one of the most fundamental forms of neural network. it learns different writing systems, then begins to forget them. as its memories decay, it starts producing glyphs it was never taught.

Watching 'The Bouroughs' ep 3, and Lose your soul by Dead Man's Bones comes on.

Happy place. :)

Also... Jena Malone.

Everyone needs to know the origin of the word “rune.” When ancient Germanics formed their own alphabet, they called the letters *rūnōz or “whispers,” because as your eyes followed them, they spoke to you, silently. Reading is magic to a people at the dawn of literacy, who haven’t yet learned to take the miracle for granted.

"Ooh but you know they all talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
No there ain't nothing up their sleeve
So close your eyes
And begin to dream"

Medieval books are just unbeatably cool. Imagine writing out something like this by hand, for hundreds of pages!

4/ J: What does "success" mean for an artist?

M:

success is making the thing you actually wanted to make before the world taught you to censor yourself.

everything after that is secondary.

money matters. survival matters. recognition matters. pretending otherwise is dishonest. but those things are unstable. they come and go. i fully expect the attention i am so lucky to have to wane, and support to rotate elsewhere. in fact, it’s something i hope for - because that means the attention is rotating to other creators who deserve the light. if i am able to lift up another artist, or have some small part in pushing all of us forward, that is also success by my standards.

further, i think i would also say that the times i actually “feel” success is when my work starts functioning like a mirror for other people. when someone sees themselves inside something i made. when a collector tells you a piece carried them through a hard moment. when strangers start using your language to describe their own lives.

that’s the part that stays with me.
