Traitview has come a long way since i started on it over a year ago. What started as a project to help support the @OnChainAllStars community, evolved into sort of a passion project, that just continued to grow.

Evolving alone doesn’t make something beautiful. But using the chain as a living medium instead of hosting a static JPEG on it is simply a more honest use of the technology. It doesn’t automatically make Argonauts art, and it doesn’t need to.
“Is it art?” is the wrong question here. It was meaningless for Punks too, and for most collections that ended up mattering. What matters is whether there’s a real point of view behind the work. In Argonauts there is: an artist who treats the collection as something to be played with rather than flipped, ack’s signature in every detail, and a project that’s genuinely fun and built with obvious obsession. That’s become rare.
And pixel art isn’t low resolution. In a time when AI can render anything in infinite detail in seconds, choosing every pixel by hand is a deliberate act. Collecting tasty pixel art today feels like collecting the traditional art of the digital age.
Genuinely curious too: when you look at your Punk, do you see 576 pixels or 2017? 💀
Are we actually liking the art of Argonauts by ACK? 👀
Or are we just buying into the narrative that it can be upgraded, evolve, and become something better?
Because let’s be honest, the art itself is… questionable 😂
But apparently, the fact that it moves, changes, and can be upgraded is what makes it valuable.
Is this genuinely innovative art, or just a narrative holders need to believe in to pump their bags?
Genuinely curious. 👇

wtf bro this shit is wild. some of these frames i never waited long enough to watch (it's 57mins long of variations according to traitview.com/?collection=ar…)
This is a really good site to find and watch all the frames. Some fucking wild bee deaths especially second one.
Picture the venn diagram in your head:
522/9999 argo have storm
500/9999 argo are floral
Only 26/9999 argo have storm + floral (that you get to see the bee die by lightning strike)
Add oarsman:
Only 4/26 storm florals have oarsman, that you can observe both zap bee and zap water phenomenon.
And out of the 4:
Only 1 storm florals oarsman have a relic
And thats mine
1/1
Not selling under 10e.
Look at rarity in a whole different way. Look at a mosaic view of any collection. Zoom in and out, Filter any traits/trait count and see how they stand against the whole collection. 1 traits are pretty hot for @argonauts9999. Only 1017 of them, see all of them at once.

so grateful for each and every FOUNDRY member holding a [GEARS]
(or more than one)
Seeing this project come together over time makes me so excited to see how the work evolves with WAR MACHINE
If you see this today, please share [GEARS] with someone new!
