I'm flattered and honored by the community's response and interest. 1000+ non-collectors have submitted their wallets. Excited for mint day! 3 days to go. Luv u guys!

I rarely take on commissions, but when I do, I put everything into them. (watch fullscreen with sound)

Baalbek is one of those pieces. Created for my friend and collector @chrisabiaad, it sits at the top of my work.

A one of one video inspired by the ancient ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon, built with custom hacked diffusion algorithms. Memory, architecture, and time folding into each other, constantly dissolving and rebuilding.

Somewhere between documentation and hallucination, the ruin becomes a living system that mutates, remembers, and forgets.

been thinking a lot about visual cryptography lately, what if you can't copy?

images split into layers where each fragment looks meaningless on its own.
only when combined, the hidden image appears.

most papers explored this through military/security systems.

but blockchain changes the idea completely.

what if ownership itself becomes the decoding mechanism?

not owning the jpeg.
not owning access rights.

literally being unable to SEE the image unless the wallet owns it.

same webpage.
same contract.
same public space.

yet collectors see the work,
everyone else sees noise.

the blockchain stops being just provenance.
it becomes perceptual permission.

working on a new series around this idea now.
stay tuned.

We need more initiatives like this

Kudos again to @ToledoMuseum being at the forefront of the digital art renaissance

I predict in the future that there will be many The Levine Letters to read

@batsoupyum showing what a true patron of the arts should be

This is how we build

Some things I cannot get over from today’s Basel VIP day, I’m just gonna type once and rip bc I’m eager to get these memories out:

Best mic drop moment for digital artists I’ve ever seen. The exhibition looked so damn good, our energy was so high it made the other half of the fair feel vapid. Perennial Basel VIP goers walked a fair booth after booth of what is honestly repetitive “trad” art and then BOOM, they’re instantly stimulated by the masterfully organized Zero to 10 exhibition. They’re hit with the largest crowd they never expected, many of which was anchored by 50-100 crypto friends rekindling, and ready to lend their knowledge to explain the works in front of them like they’re the artists.

Speaking to Scott Winkelmann (@beeple bro) about how incredible it was to see all the smiling faces videotaping Regular Animals. He mentioned 50+ inquiries for buying one (they sold out before i walked in). It will be the most viral piece in all of Art Miami.

Coin Laundry by @XCOPYART with incredible representation and support by @miminguyenmimi and @shape , so busy at times, it was all hands on deck from @bonafidehan @pravijn and anyone who knew what was going on to onboard attendees with their soap.

Sergey Brin was there and seen admiring @dmitricherniak’s Floor Ringer, the booth looked stunning huge congrats @Vince_Van_Dough @anikojay and all who repped.

@ArtOnBlockchain and @jeffgdavis smiling ear to ear, happy to be recounting the story of Art Blocks with a passion no other gallerist has had before. Snowfro, the apex collector turned innovator in the space coming full circle to showcasing and selling AB minted Quines by @larvalabs .

@CaballeroAnaMa reciting her beautiful and poem in front of 100s of fully engaged listeners, a wonderfully intimate break during the day.

The amount of questions and genuine interest I felt from bankers and their groups of clients awing at the method and output @tylerxhobbs works, and seeing @leyla_solos team handle the interest with the perfect tact.

@sofiagarcia_io @micolmicolmicol @fellowship working a central pillar of the fair, selling all the @ix_shells works on display, one of my favorite place to watch reactions from throughout the day.

@jackbutcher crushing it as the labeled “manager” and helped his guests Self Checkout and unknowingly mint their first NFTs. The most engaging of conceptual art many ppl can microbuy ($1, can do online too)

@mpkoz giving the most intricate and interesting of details on the masterful work he produced with @heft_gallery

@eli_schein and @redbeardnft with such hospitable charm working the entire exhibition floor. Making intros and giving full context tours. Truly amazing work my bros, I’m so happy to see the 10/10 execution.

I’ll look to end by saying i don’t care what the culturally deficient say about us, digital art is the artistic movement of our time. I just witnessed the “cool”, elite crowd of society come into our corner of the Art Basel fair and smile with intrigue as they realized why our generation is not going to be buying $60m Rothkos.

Our internet native generation deserves this movement. It’s uniquely ours and it’s real as fuck, in the deepest of bears. It wasn’t passed onto us as inheritance, it grew from twitter telegram and discord. It is extreme ownership of what is truly ours, and these Basel VIPs don’t even know (yet) how based it feels to enjoy the true sovereignty of this movement.

I didn’t plan to go every day, but now i feel a sense of pride i want to enjoy more days of the week so i will happily be there daily. I need to get my time with @yatreda @mayaonthenet @joepease !!

This was a perfect exhibition in my book. 🫡🫡

In February 2023, we commissioned @GrantYun2 to create a piece of art for Flamingo using Squiggles from our collection

Grant had been wanting to incorporate more generative “easter eggs” in his art, and recreated the Squiggle in his own style here

Celebrating 2 Years of "Eastern Promises"

Two years ago, my immersive AI-powered installation "Eastern Promises" debuted at Art Dubai 2023, exhibited by Art in Space Gallery. A special milestone I’ll never forget.

Inspired by Edward Said’s groundbreaking critique, "Orientalism," Eastern Promises highlights how biases—historical, cultural, and technological—shape our perceptions. AI, as an extension of human creativity, amplifies both our imagination and our prejudices.

“Helena Sarin and Her Band,” our first release of 2025 with @artxcode_io — launching February 27

If you’ve ever stepped into a jazz club, you know the magic of a small ensemble improvising or a big band roaring under a conductor’s baton. That same mix of spontaneity is at the heart of @NeuralBricolage’s new series.

“To paraphrase Basquiat, I wanted to be a jazz musician, but I couldn’t play well; so my code became my music.” — Helena Sarin

The Process ✨
Sarin uses Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) trained on her own sketches, watercolors, and photographs—a decade’s worth of material gathered while immersed in New York’s jazz scene. Think of these datasets as building blocks that a jazz composer might arrange into a new score. But like improvisation, once Sarin sets the parameters, the AI “riffs” on what it’s been given.

The Result ✨
The outcome is a series of unexpected, lively visuals that capture jazz’s essential spirit: a balance between structure and surprise. Each piece carries echoes of big band performances and late-night jam sessions, creating an energetic visual language that feels both carefully conducted and spontaneously alive.

"In jazz, “call and response” is a conversation where one melody sparks another. Sarin’s prompts act as the call; the AI’s output, the response. She refines it all into a final piece, much like a conductor guiding musicians while still leaving room for improvisation." ⎯ @Toni_Marinara

On February 27, these works will be released as NFTs, with the option to acquire large-scale physical prints ⎯ ideal for bringing that jazz vibe into your own space.
