A 'making of' video about our collaborative artwork with @bottoproject

I explain some of the inspiration behind the artwork and the process of collaborating with @BottoDAO in order to integrate these Botto fragments into an original artwork.

Video produced by the great @mackxdav !

Chaos: Divination, 1/1 by Urs Fischer in the collection

[objkt @objktcom]

Grant (@GrantYun2)’s first Tezos mint, A Night By The Ocean—created using the legendary 1980s Quantel Paintbox—has been acquired by @ely_trader ahead of its debut at the @paintboxed1981 exhibition during Digital Art Mile, presented by @artmetaofficial in Basel.

Congratulations to both artist and collector 👏

[Rob De Los Santos @RDToTheMoon]

1/ What if @GrantYun2 created a 1/1 NFT using the same hardware that helped define digital art in the 1980s?

He did.

This is A Night By The Ocean, made on the Quantel Paintbox.

[Rob De Los Santos @RDToTheMoon]

2/ The piece began in Adobe Illustrator, part of Yun’s “California” series.

But it didn’t end there.

Grant reworked the image on a 1981 Quantel Paintbox at Studio Adrian Wilson in New Jersey, using its original color mapping tools to reshape the composition.

[Rob De Los Santos @RDToTheMoon]

3/ The Paintbox isn’t just any vintage computer.

It’s one of the earliest digital art systems, and legends like Keith Haring and David Hockney used it.

It demands a hands-on process, where every adjustment is intentional.

[Rob De Los Santos @RDToTheMoon]

4/ Yun embraced those constraints.

The result is a new version of his minimalist landscape filtered through 40+ years of digital history.

A subtle yet radical blend of past and present.

[Rob De Los Santos @RDToTheMoon]

5/ This is the only work in Grant Yun’s practice to bridge Adobe Illustrator and the Quantel Paintbox.

A digital dialogue between two eras. One minimal, one mechanical. Captured in a single composition.

It also marks his first-ever mint on Tezos.
