The MERIDIAN book by @mattdesl is pure joy. The historical overview, the transparency about the process and parameters of the code… and of course: the Meridians. As someone who has collected 300+ art books, I will say: it’s one of the great ones storytelling- and quality-wise.

You still have a few days left to mint “The Era of Precision” from Mercedes-Benz NXT Icons before the window closes on Tuesday, May 27 at 18:00 CET / 12:00 EDT / 9:00 PDT.

Here’s the only official link: https://t.co/yDsmpsFyuA

1/ Here’s all you need to know about “The Era of Precision” (1980 – 1999) of the Mercedes-Benz NXT Icons and how to participate in the mint with either a mint pass or a collectible from any of the two previous eras. ↓

@qingzhu77 Thank you for your contribution too and having been such an active part of the community, always curious and engaged!

[m3ta.eth @beyondm3ta]

Appreciate your questions!

The plan is as follows: Starting in June, the initiative will be on hold for the foreseeable future. While the topic will of course continue to be monitored internally at Mercedes-Benz, the creative studio behind Mercedes-Benz NXT will be dissolved.

As for anything else, only time will tell. 🥹

At Mercedes-Benz NXT, we've spent the past two years exploring the exciting possibilities of NFTs in different ways. This journey has given us invaluable insights and has laid a strong foundation for future digital innovations at Mercedes-Benz. One example is the creation of 3D data of Mercedes-Benz’s classic cars for the first time, enabling a range of future applications.

As you know, market conditions for creative initiatives like Mercedes-Benz NXT have been challenging since our launch in 2023. That’s why we will put the activities of Mercedes-Benz NXT on hold for now. For the time being, no new NFT collections will be launched under the Mercedes-Benz NXT brand.

However, we still have one more exciting activity planned for around mid-May, where we will celebrate the Mercedes-Benz NXT Icons with “The Era of Precision.” We’ll share full details soon, but here’s a teaser: this will be an exclusive free mint for our community, including all mint pass holders and previous collectors of Mercedes-Benz NXT Icons, and will be available in the known eligible countries. All remaining mint passes must be used in this era.

Rest assured, your digital objects—Maschine, Mercedes-Benz NXT Icons, Mercedes-Benz NXT Eternities, Symbiosis, Mercedes-Benz NXT Superdackel, and “Composition of Colorful Particles on Black”—will of course remain in your wallets exactly as they are.

The past years have been a journey of pivoting, iterating, and evolving. We've tried a lot, learned even more, and brought many ideas to life. Creating the creative studio 0xNXT and the Mercedes-Benz NXT brand has been an ambitious endeavor—and one that’s been valuable every step of the way.

A huge thank you to our community for your support and trust. Stay tuned for all the details on “The Era of Precision”—we can’t wait to share this part of the Mercedes-Benz heritage with you!

Erick and I are thrilled to share some exciting news! Since establishing the Generative Art Fund in 2021, it’s been our dream to broaden our charter and champion the field of generative art beyond fiscal support. Today, we are proud to announce that we’ve officially evolved into the Generative Art Foundation, with an expanded mission. Our new focus areas include:

Opportunity: Expanding opportunities for creative coding by supporting organizations that merge art and programming, and championing diversity and inclusivity.

Education: Fostering public appreciation of generative art through educational events and cultural exchanges and serving as a resource for academic research.

Preservation: Securing the future of generative art by researching and implementing digital preservation solutions and building a diverse collection of artworks.

Partnership: Collaborating with museums and other art institutions to integrate generative art into exhibitions and facilitate on-chain acquisitions.

We invite you to contribute to our mission. Your donations enable us to maintain current giving levels while expanding our scope. Since 2021, more than $1.5 million has been donated by artists and individuals who believe in the future of generative art. We are now growing our endowment to secure the foundation’s financial stability and ongoing impact.

For more information, please visit our new website (link in 🧵) and follow us @genartfound. If you’d like to contribute or learn more about how to get involved, please send us an email or direct message. The easiest thing you can do to help is amplify this post.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for joining us as we begin an exciting new chapter in the story of generative art.

Sincerely,
Jeff Davis & Erick Calderon
Co-Founders, The Generative Art Foundation

Weird. Unethical. Call it what you will.

[Stats @punk9059]

One thing I haven’t said but do believe:

Launching a multi-billion dollar memecoin, especially while holding 80%, is a weird thing to do in the days before entering the most important and powerful public service role in the world.

We can celebrate the gains and analyze the moment.

But it’s weird.

The creation of the art book "MIMIZU" began with the idea: if I were to create something to conclude MIMIZU, wouldn't a book, something that can gather and bind MIMIZU together, be the perfect form? Now, this book is about to be unveiled at @nguyenwahed in NYC and officially launched. 🫱🫱🫱🫱🫱🫱

1/ Digital art plays an important role not only for Mercedes-Benz NXT, but also for the Mercedes-Benz Art Collection. The Collection recently added an NFT-based artwork by @_terra0 to their portfolio. ↓

Hah - epic. Our marketing team worked with @IsaacMiller to recreate his famous $111 celebration film.

@dfinzer 👋

[fxhash @fx_hash_]

Maybe even the largest collab in generative art history?

Universal Rayhatcher is a gen art project born out of @piterpasma pretty much hacking the fxhash params feature. Come to think of it, he launched a platform within a platform. We'll call it...fx(rayhatcher) 😏

What a beautiful opening.

The sale of Symbiosis is now closed. 🦾💪

Thank you to all collectors who added one or more of @rainisto's artworks to their collections. 🎉

[Mercedes-Benz NXT @MercedesBenzNXT]

#42 might or might not be the answer to everything, but it’s definitely one of the last 15 Symbiosis artworks available. See the journey from @rainisto’s photograph to the finished artwork using an image-to-image process below.

Sale ends at 18:00 CET: https://t.co/LkaYDZsHJF
