Fun and standing out. That’s the story of Partyleft.
Clipleft
November 27th, 2022
I started making Clipleft exactly on the day of the FTX collapse. I always held skepticism towards “effective altruism” ideology (or even philanthropy in general) but I was especially suspicious of SBF. So when FTX was collapsing and SBF’s frauds were coming out, I was filled with a lot of emotions: Anger, affirmation, sadness for people who lost their money, fear, and ultimately cynicism.

With each piece in ART PONZI, I tried to tell a story about the entire collection. This is important for this 1st series. So far, the pieces in the collection referred to the collection’s genesis, its drop mechanics, the time of the drops (close to the merge), the glitch art style, on-chain immutability, and never-ending artistic tweaks.

Whether it’s through interesting drop mechanics or through creating new forms of visual forms such as years-long loops, everlasting non-loop pieces, or on-chain visual magic; since the beginning of ART PONZI, I tried doing something unique with every single piece.

When launching ART PONZI’s first piece Genesisleft, I mentioned the many advantages of using SVG. It allows storing media 100% on-chain, it allows infinite scalability, it allows infinite frames, and it allows creating forever animations that don’t have to be loops. The only disadvantage I had raised was the fact that storing things on-chain could limit creative freedom. Since SVG is essentially mathematical coordinates, its outputs are mostly geometric with its paths, circles, curves, and rectangles.
Mergeleft
September 12th, 2022
It took 8 days to make Mergeleft. Maybe not as long as the merge itself, which was almost 8 years in the making, but it still took a lot of effort. I discarded a lot of completed versions, much like I did for Genesisleft and Dropleft, but I finally ended up with something I’m happy with.

A colorful tear in the fabric of the space opens a portal to a parallel universe. A universe made of art... Free art is falling from the tear on our speculative art market.
