With web3 content having reached critical mass, the need for curation has reached critical levels.

It is not hyperbole to say that art and science form the bedrock of culture. The two are essential to the progress and growth of the human experience in the same way the head and the heart are the thrust of our vitality and curiosity. If we believe that NFTs have staying power beyond its spotlight in the greater cultural zeitgeist and represent a fundamental shift in the value creation and ownership model, we must ardently support projects that use interdisciplinary approaches to solve problems.

We are witnessing the dawn of the DAOs.

I'm a strong believer that good art makes a powerful statement, while great art asks a powerful question. This feels especially true for NFTs, where the genesis of value is initialized by the artist while the full potential is unlocked through the power of community. It's only natural, then, that I gravitate most towards artists who not only impress the audience but involve them.

There's something special about art that juxtaposes delightful visual palettes with substantive subject matter. I was first tipped off to Emonee LaRussa's work from my friend Jeff Nicholas, who shared a 2D/3D animated piece she had created (in collaboration with @johnbashyam) titled "Wanna Feel Better?"

After weeks of shameless self-promotion, DM-sliding, begging, and pleading, I’ve made it. I’ve received enough $WRITE to be able to create my own Mirror publication. Moving forward, Mirror will become the primary publishing platform for my publication Curare.
