a subtle transformation, becoming an object in the network of all networked art
CENTS is a continual redefinition of the object & its value
from metal disc to image to melted mass in a block to cryptographic entity to free mint to marketized asset
from centralized value ascription to decentralized value perception
from eminence in Bitcoin art to eminence in digital art overall
amazing to see CENTS & Rutherford Chang's retrospective covered here! ✊

A few notes:
• sat rarity is included in the traits section, next to artist-defined traits

I am my Cents
My Cents are me.
Rutherford Chang left us with one of the most powerful concept art ever dropped on a blockchain.
Cents lives on Bitcoin.
@sovrnart
dear CENTS collectors,
just heard from Satflow that they "don't have the capability" to include a royalty functionality AT ALL.
Enough is enough. If you care even a little bit about this project, about its presence in the world, its longevity, then move your old ME listings to @trygamma.
It's an important time with ME shutting down, and it matters what you do. It matters what place becomes the next hub for trading.
This was a free mint (1 sat for 1 Cent) and we've busted our assess for the last two mfing years to represent it and maintain it as it deserves, from the timeline, to the conferences, to the trait sites, to the community, to the museums.
The 2.5% isn't a lot, but it does mean a lot. I hope you can put yourself in our shoes and realize that it truly matters, especially at this critical time.
Please help to share this.
long live CENTS 👊

The recent days around the opening of Rutherford Chang's retrospective at UCCA Beijing have been quite a whirlwind.
That and Chinese internet have made it difficult to share many updates, but we'll be posting more as the exhibition is there for the next 3 months.
It's truly incredible to see Rutherford's art elevated at this scale. The curators Philip Tinari and Aki Sassamoto as well as the Estate led by his sister Danielle Chang have done excellent work.
And with CENTS, we're seeing Bitcoin Art on Ordinals recognized as a vessel of high art. We extend our gratitude that UCCA has been open to working with us so closely to present this emergent medium in a way that can meet the broader world of art and culture.
In the coming days we'll be sharing the panel talk, the archival documentation, as well as the press coming out about the exhibition.
The new Trait Explorer cents。vision has also seen its premier in tandem with this event - featuring a Trait Atlas as well the results of the Council's exhaustive final reviews and re-reviews of the 10,000 Cents.
Check in particular the Trait Atlas, as well as the cataloging of Contaminations and the much-needed Significant patina between Notable and Full.
The traits and rarities are now represented with operational completeness.
The retrospective will be in Beijing for 3 months, and the Estate is planning to tour it at other locations thereafter.
Rutherford Chang's work is an ever-speaking rabbit hole of timelessness, and we look forward to broader audiences discovering the true genius and magic that he brought into the world.
The CENTS Traits Lab is LIVE

If you’ve been wondering what we’ve been building for the last two years: this is it. Built to explore the collection from different angles, compare CENTS, discover patterns, and learn the surface language Cent by Cent.
