@Artchild_io@atptour I always felt a one handed backhand was the classiest backhand, alla @rogerfederer. Wonder what Honor was thinking on this one. I’m gonna imagine a one handed backhand top spin for the win. Point- Game - Match.
Rhythm & the Machine (“R&TM”) releasing on Thursday, August 24th on @tonic_xyz is @larswander’s most diverse and emergent algorithm to date. Here, I attempt to do it justice with a brief description of the series and the history of its making: 1/14
We are thrilled to announce Rhythm & the Machine by @larswander coming to Tonic on August 24.

Once upon a time, there were two villages, Nodeville and Centralis, that lay across a river from each other.
Nodeville was a place of cooperation and freedom. Each villager maintained their own ledger, a book in which they recorded every transaction made within the village. Whenever a villager wanted to trade goods or services, they would declare it publicly in the village square, ensuring all could hear and record the transaction in their ledgers. They would then compare their ledgers regularly to ensure consistency.
Centralis, on the other hand, trusted a single village elder to keep a ledger of all transactions. The villagers believed the elder to be honest and dependable. They brought every transaction to him, and he alone maintained the record. The elder lived in a fortress, with the ledger secured within.
One day, a calamity struck Centralis. The elder fell ill, and the fortress that held the ledger was damaged in a storm. For days, no transactions could be processed. The villagers lived in uncertainty, not knowing the state of their accounts or if they could trade safely. Centralis was in chaos.
Meanwhile, Nodeville heard of the problems across the river. However, life in Nodeville went on as usual. Even when one villager lost their ledger in an unfortunate fire, they easily reconstructed it by comparing with their neighbors. Transactions were declared, recorded, and confirmed with little disruption.
The people of Centralis, witnessing the resilience of Nodeville, realized the wisdom in their system. By distributing the responsibility of maintaining the ledger, Nodeville had created a system that was resilient, transparent, and not dependent on any single villager. This was the power of a decentralized system, the power of running a node.
In time, the people of Centralis recovered. But they had learned their lesson. They decided to adopt the system of Nodeville, with each villager maintaining their own ledger, thus, becoming their own node.
One day I'll have the words to describe how I feel about what it means to have helped bring 'Themes and Variations' to life, working with @martingrasser and bringing Vera Molnár's legacy on chain. For now some (not all) of my favorite pieces from the series...👇
@KnicksCentral Yes, Grimes, Quickley, Barrett and Robinson should all improve. Brunson has another gear and the group is running it back + DiVincenzo. 50 wins easy
Ok amici here it is, first up: Luke Shannon's generative overcoat made in collaboration with @gucci and @ChristiesInc minted on @plottablesio@ArtBlocksEngine contract. This is a unique work and (to the best of my knowledge) the first of it's kind 👀🧵 1/9
