I literally love the remaining 1/1 from my Post_Histories collection so much that I kinda want to keep it 😂 but it’s part of a collection for @objktlabs residency so I probably should try to sell it. so do your boy a favor, if you dig the work, tell a collector friend about it, tell an artist friend who might tell a collector friend.

[Kika Nicolela @kikanicolela]

One of the aspects of this last World Cup most discussed on European television, at least, was its political dimension.

@AugursNFT has, in previous works - such as the masterpiece 'Roberto Baggio', minted on objktone in 2023 (simply one of the best videos I’ve seen minted on any chain) - managed to express the political dimension of football better than almost anyone, IMO.

Now, with his new collection The World Cup and The Image Machines, curated by @postanika and released through the @objktlabs gallery, he sets aside his eloquent, precise narratives to explore the aesthetics of football - more specifically, football as seen through television today.

There is so much to say about football, the World Cup, and the spectacle surrounding it. But the sheer fact that more than a billion people around the world can be tuned in to watch the same thing, at the same time, through a screen is mind-blowing to me.

Henrique goes against the perfection of the broadcast image: the best angle, the highest resolution, the perfect slow motion, every detail that escapes the human eye and can only be captured by machines and algorithms.

Instead, the five videos in this collection put those images through multiple glitching and processing stages, disrupting the seamlessness of the broadcast and making us look again at the image machine itself.

His love for football, combined with his sensitivity to the political structures behind the spectacle, is once again striking. So are his visual experiments between code and analogue processes.

I can only urge you to spend some time with these five videos. Full screen and sound on!

They’re already live on @objktcom and available to collect in 21 hours. Link to the collection below 👇

The World Cup and The Image Machines reimagines the 2026 World Cup through glitch and noise, from digital video to a mini thermal printer, reflecting on visual culture by pushing images to the point of exhaustion.

Art on Tezos Friday Recap 🔔

→ Opening tonight: STILL WET at @GalerieMet in Berlin (Mariannenstrasse 33), a group show of physical and digital works by 18 artists across several continents, treating painting as an expanded medium spanning canvas, screen, 3D, GIFs, and machine learning traces. Curated by @kikanicolela and Ruizhe Liang in collaboration with @objktcom. Reception 18:00 to 21:00, running August 15 to September 5. 🇩🇪🖌️

→ @kentocards announced the two Open Call winners whose works will be turned into physical cards and included in Season 01 packs: @adiw_galih & @macbethAI 👏

→ ACTZ “Vestige” auctions (Art Commission Tezos): For July with @artcommissiontz, @328_lad, @spike_0124, @MuhjuArt & @NFTipi
selected five artists each to create new unique works around the theme "Vestige". Highlights and some live/recent auctions were posted Aug 13 by @artontezos_.

→ #TezosTuesday spotlighted @Solarchi_, a collector and artist with an architecture background, who committed to collecting 1,000 tez from community replies and their own digging. 🤝

→ @accomparts THE OBSOLETE MATTERS drops August 25 on @objktcom, thirty artists turning the question of obsolescence back on digital art itself, across generative systems, AI, 3D, digital painting, code, and collage. Curated by @grebenshi and @ilyabliznets. 🕰️💾

→ Artists’ Week: August (TheTezosCommunity / @TheTezos
) is running. It includes Discord games (Gartic, Name That Artist, Quiz, Poker), Support Artists Days (community buys), and a “Let’s Talk Art” space that happened on Aug 13. More activities continue through the weekend.

Don't Miss:

→ Ephemera Sunset (community auction event) via @AntrumArtSpace - Live today. Artists are listing 24-hour auctions themed around sunsets / fleeting light. Search #EphemeraSunset or #Ephemera2026 on X or check recent auctions on objkt.

→ PRECEDURE by @OriginalGoldCat curated by @postanika via @objktlabs, starting from a single hand-made charcoal drawing and running it through procedural constraints so authorship shifts from gesture to rules, with a nod to early computer artists like Vera Molnár. ✏️⚙️

→ Post_Histories by @adhd143 curated by @postanika via @objktlabs, a series of interactive media carousels by ADHD that borrows the grammar of the multi-image social post and redirects it toward the contextual window of art.

→ Infinito Mesh Painting by @nftaverse via @bootloader_art

→ 1.p.3.r.d.3.C.h.1.r.1.c.0. by @_pixellare via @bootloader_art

Loving to see each project that comes out of the @objktlabs . All the artists really go out of their comfort zone to explore something new, fresh and with depth. 🤍

PRECEDURE by @OriginalGoldCat is the perfect example. 🤌🏼 brilliant series.
