Bait and Click: Exploring "Clickbait," a Conceptual NFT Project by Capsule21's Piv
Usually I write a long piece about an artist. But I am trying something new today. I am pointing you to a thread I wrote recently on Twitter about Pivâs homage to Joseph Albers. You can visit that and get a good run down of an amazing project. If you want context, read below:
Clicking the Bait: A New Phunk Project Looks at How Color Concept is Shaped by Context
Thereâs something about art that convinces us to explore it. You know you are looking at a piece of art when you have to stop and think about what you are looking at, and when that thinking draws you magnetically to want to know more. My earliest experience with the power that art has over us in this way was when I took my mother to a museum in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Viewing Art History Through a Two-Way Mirror of Tech and Time

The Marc's Dilemma: If You Could Re-Mint Historically Significant Art Held By Someone Other Than Yourself, Would You?
CORRECTION: On July 22, I corrected the context around the statements made by Michael Hirsch about dupe sweeping and made them more accurate. The dupe sweeping was not implemented in the Cryptomarcs contract by Hirsch directly. The dupe sweeping elements and the conversation had with Middlemarch were in the context of Hirschâs earlier creation of a template that can be used by anyone using the Indelible Labs contract to create their own smart contract. Such was the case in the creation of the Cryptomarcs contract. The questions that come out of it are not to do with Hirschâs use of it, but of the implementation of ANY code in the âreal world.â
The Invisible Art: "What Is Essential Is Invisible to the Eye"
This was the first DaoBao Auction Paddle I made, and it was the first one to be purchased on OpenSea. I donât know who bought it. I know the wallet address of the person who bought it. I donât know why they bought it. I only know why I made it. Iâll get to that in a minute.
Welcome to the Pleasure Dome: Inside a Loie Hollowell Painting
Loie Hollowell is a Northern California painter who now lives and works in New York City. Her mother was a Burner who traveled to Burning Man nearly every year. Hollowell tagged along, and in doing so, grew up witnessing parades of colour and light in barren spaces throbbing with electric and sensual vibrations.
Avast Ye! Arise, Artists! Look Amongst You and Here is George Grigalashvili, Son of George the Artist
Tens of thousands of years of art history focus on one thing, IMO â delineating what is real and deciding who is allowed to dictate that and express it.
