Good morning, Marfa!
We're looking forward to seeing you for check-in at the Art Blocks Gallery, starting at 3pm.
While you're there, make sure to peruse the exhibition from Guest Curator @museumartlight: EMULATION: Selections from the Art Blocks 500.
Each day a different Guest Curator takes over the Art Blocks Gallery. @LACMA joins us on Friday and @neort_io—all the way from Toyko, Japan!—on Saturday.

"The Next Hundred Years," a panel discussion in Marfa, TX, brings together four major art institutions to discuss how they are preserving and caring for digital art.
Join voices and curators from @LACMA, @nodefnd, @museumartlight, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
Moderated by @jeffgdavis.
Friday, Oct 23, 10am at the Crowley Theater.
not the same thing though. MOQ is in its own category - and it’s generative not an edition like this.
Everyone's chasing @emilyxxie Qilins this week 🐉 1.65 ETH this morning, 2 ETH this afternoon
Meanwhile I'm quietly sitting on her Serpent State 🐍 80 editions, Art Basel Miami Beach 2025, zero listed 🤌
Collecting Emily before CT notices, one espresso at a time ☕😂
Qilin or Serpent: which Emily are you chasing?
Needs a dragon dance palette.
Update: blinton.eth didn't stop at 4 🤯
Ringers #612 + 6x Memories of Qilin (~7.66 ETH) in about 20 minutes
Someone's building a museum and I'm still refreshing the floor 😂
How many Qilins is too many?

life in general
One of the ugliest truths about cryptoart:
If you have a name, connections and people constantly validating you, you can produce mediocre work forever and still be celebrated. If you have none of that, quality alone won’t save you.
And this space has given something very valuable to artistic impostors: a way to monetize the appearance of being an artist.
You don’t necessarily need years of work, technical knowledge, a coherent body of work or even much of an artistic voice. Sometimes you just need visibility, the right circle and enough people repeating that what you do matters.
Then price becomes proof of quality.
Collectors become proof of talent.
Popularity becomes proof of artistic relevance.
And once that machinery starts moving, almost nobody wants to be the person who says the emperor is naked.
Cryptoart didn’t create mediocre artists, but it created an extraordinary market for pretending mediocrity is genius.

Finally managed to add another Neural Fad by the brilliant @emikusano .This collection reminds me of the sheer insanity & joy that I felt living in & around Tokyo in the late 90’s. Especially, people watching on Sundays around Harajuku & Yoyogi Koen. Naturally, I vibe with all the incredible work of @IDerech for similar reasons.
