gm, frens!
Don't try to boil lessons down to one piece of advice.
Or credit an outcome to one event.
It's a combination, sequence, and clutter of things that we take for granted, are invisible, or seem unrelated.
ARTWORK: Idem Locus #14

Right — totally agree. AI isn’t singularly novel within the expanding world of digital art, and I really appreciate you engaging so thoughtfully here. It’s rare to have this kind of exchange 🙂
On generative art, there’s a ton of remarkable work out there. Personally, I love pieces like @zancan’s Monoliths, @toThePixel’s Busy, and @Kitel87’s Fields of the Abandoned Homeland. The main challenge, in my experience, is that when you show generative art to people outside the web3/crypto-art worlds, it can feel a bit too academic to immediately resonate. That’s not a criticism - I collect and admire the form myself - but it may limit its mainstream cultural reach for now.
As for networked art, I think Spratt and the 6529 Memes project are pushing the most interesting boundaries in that space, in completely different ways. Both are carving out new conceptual terrain and I’m cheering both. I already have a few Memes, Spratt’s on my short list too… though the entry price is brutal 😂
But back to AI art and the “slop” concern: I actually see this as a transitional phase. It’s similar to what happened when everyone suddenly got a decent camera in their pocket. The early flood of low-quality content eventually gave way to a much higher standard as audiences became visually literate and creators pushed the medium forward. The same dynamic will play out here.
The key difference in my eyes is that the best AI artists are already light years ahead of the noise. Take Alkan Avcıoğlu for example: he’s making his third appearance at Paris Photo next week, this time in collaboration with Edward Burtynsky, one of the most critically acclaimed photographers alive and a fixture at the Guggenheim, MoMA, and the Met. Artists of that caliber don’t collaborate with “slop”.
Point being there’s no need to wait. There’s already *real* signal here if you’re willing to look closely. 😃

LIMINA is an observation of the continuous cycle of emergence and disappearance. Light, shadow, and color gather into fleeting states, like breath, forming soft organic structures and dissolving them again.
Monday 20th October, 10am ET for 24hrs (1:1 per Season Pass held)
@trygamma 💕
After 24hrs, you will receive one more allocation if any mints remain.
Special thanks to @PawelDudko for her continued support 💕
@Stanysurfer@DotComParker Lol, in Kyiv right now it would be enough 200K: with 100K I could buy a pretty decent two-bedroom apartment, with 50K I could start a business that brings in 2K a month (which is more than enough to live comfortably), and I’d still have another 50K left for unexpected expenses
@a1lon9@rasmr_eth Do you or your team happen to have a corporate email for business inquiries or something along those lines? I figured messaging you directly might not make much sense, as it would probably go unread
Gm friends ☕️🌤️
An absolutely crazy week — seven secondary sales on @fx_hash_ !
Huge thanks to you @cspok_eth , @javaing , sooninlouvre.tez , Applied.tez and one more anonymous collector.
Fields of the Abandoned Homeland by @Kitel87
Plenty of gems still on @fx_hash_.
Tezos or Base, XTZ or $fxh, the chain doesn’t matter. Good art does

@tinoch I’m a big fan of @Kitel87 Fields of the Abandoned Homeland.
It’s a generative collection about having to leave Ukraine at the start of the war.
