This project has deepened my art practice. Consistency isn’t boring—it’s powerful. And creating your work publicly is one of the most vulnerable things you can do as an artist. A lot of respect for the artists who do so.
Lots of movement on the secondary, I like it, I would like secondary sales to exceed primary sales we are close.
Thanks to all who are keeping it moving I appreciate it more than you know.
Wait. What?! Wasn’t this supposed to be decentralized social media @ourzora ?! What do you mean COLLECTED?! Ok so, now all our shitposts and art process and generous free art in exchange for the minimum accountable material repayment for the emotional and digital labour of posting on social media has been turned into the cheapening of NFTs?!
-yeah yeah u are not the only one to do this rn; however-
Cool. Thank you for the wake up call and memory refreshment.
Not like I didn’t know that blockchain is full of “Web 2 platform gaslighting extractive capitalism as usual” but I really DID believe that it was different here, you did say Decentralized Social Media all the time and memed shade on the Zuck.
Move fast break things confuse everyone and zero alignment with rhetoric is so exhausting. Then one “wonders” why do we constantly get the long threads of “is NFT dead?” “when is NFT back?” “is minted art Art? “is NFT Art?”
I’m exhausted of finding meaning, working on subversion of said meaning for socio-political change oriented art, of embedment practice, of being mislead with tricky meaning.
Sincerity and consistency always feels better bc then we KNOW what we are doing and can take care of our actual art practice accordingly however we may feel like, without any ridic puritanism: yes we all would like to be able to continue to make a living from our art practice, however careful or reckless.
With that, I’d like to share my most sincere gratitude for affording me so much material for my artistic research and deployable social sculpture projects. No shade in the thankfulness. Thank you and thank you @foundation@rodeodotclub, like wow. W O W. Curve balls and a zillion plot twists: there are no goodies or baddies like there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, or so they say.
With that, of course I’ll keep posting -or was it minting?!- some posts -or was it NFTs of tumbled value?!- oh, the axiology of it all and all entrapments.

The universe says [it’s all experiences, learning and context beyond duality] Cool cool. I’ll prob put this tweet/X/?! on chain- or not.
if u identify with these feelings and want to throw coin at these words bypassing any chain mintpost post-minting: cibelle.eth / the paypal is my X handle
it’s also perfectly fine to just feel it and watch me pay Elon Musk for the promise of meager visibility and longer typing space. No judgement, no shade. We are all so entrapped just trying to survive these algorithms. All compassion to users baited as data source material for profit on our actions and emotions.
I see you, I see us and I love you.
{there’s not a single emoji, combination of, or dank meme that could illustrate the exhausted jadedness I feel rn - gonna go rewatch The Fly or read Kafka; or both at the same time}
