Today marks 5 years of SquiggleDAO.
What started as an organic community effort to collect and promote the Chromie Squiggle has grown into one of the most relevant collector communities in digital art.
From 231 community donations and no initial treasury, to 330+ Squiggles, museum placements, exhibitions, marble sculptures, public art, events around the world, research, media, merch, and a strong global community.
Proud of what we’ve built together. Onwards.
Museums are at a turning point.
As technology reshapes how we create, experience, and connect with culture, institutions must evolve alongside artists and audiences alike.
In this first article of an ongoing series, the Museum of Art + Light (MoA+L) explores why immersive experiences, digital art, interdisciplinary collaboration, and contemporary museum practice are not separate conversations, but part of the same cultural evolution.
This is not about abandoning traditional museums.
It is about expanding what museums can become.

I presented the only self-authored poems + the only NFTs at both @FeriaArco and @artbrussels.
firmly believe in the power of Web3 as a publishing model + am doing my best to advocate on our collective behalf.
I couldn’t make it to the MoA+L (@museumartlight ) gala in person to see our Art Blocks (@artblocks_io) EMULATION exhibition, but my dear friend Rachael sent me these lovely moments!

SquiggleDAO has placed Squiggle #4812 at the PoCo Museum in Estonia and it will be on display until Spring 2027! 🎉🎉🎉
PoCo Museum is an important cultural institution because it bridges contemporary pop culture with art, design, and digital creativity, helping legitimize modern and emerging art forms within a museum context. Located in Estonia, a country widely recognized for its digital innovation, the museum plays a key role in introducing new audiences to forward-thinking creative movements, including digital and generative art. By engaging younger collectors, international visitors, and culturally curious audiences, PoCo positions contemporary digital art as part of a broader cultural narrative rather than a niche trend.
The Pop and Contemporary Art Museum in Tallinn houses works by major international pop art figures, including Andy Warhol, Banksy, Jeff Koons, Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring, Damien Hirst, and Yayoi Kusama. This allows visitors to experience pop art classics alongside contemporary works, offering a comprehensive view of the movement’s evolution from the mid-20th century to today. Within this context, the addition of a Chromie Squiggle, on public display starting January 23rd until Spring of 2027 is especially significant. Placing on chain generative digital art in direct dialogue with some of the most influential artists in modern and contemporary art history.
just finished writing the final poem in my Being Borges series (at least, finished for now). so bittersweet to see the collection come to a close. at least, feel this final work does the moment justice.
feels to me (at least) like a special poem.
