I find when people not familiar with the space see generative art displayed they really start to appreciate it
#generativeart #artblocks
There it is. The most important collective of generative art NFTs there will ever be forever on chain
The top @artblocks_io collections will be some of the greatest and most sought after pieces of digital art period imo
ANNOUNCEMENT: THE ART BLOCKS 500
5 years. 500 projects.
@artblocks_io readies for five upcoming projects, scheduled to conclude at number 500 in November 2025, in line with their 5 year anniversary.
2 Curated releases and 3 community-focused Explorations will celebrate this era of on-chain generative art.
The foundational 500 will be preserved as a finite set, giving way to new generative art approaches that build on the first era.
Stay tuned. Details and initiatives are incoming.

Today is an unforgettable day for me as a collector
Together with @mazzi_eth , we’ve acquired Fidenza #723 by @tylerxhobbs on @artblocks_io
The rarest piece, one of the most iconic and the final trait we needed to complete our collection.
It took us 4 years to finally get one but we made it.
Let this be a sign of good things to come for all NFT collectors out there.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved, especially @eli_schein
We’re not back until @Vince_Van_Dough buys a grail @artblocks piece and then immediately buys a sea ham
I am waiting
🤌

One thing about the bear market that is still shaking off is how premiums to floor are a bit out of whack. In the bear market, liquidity was on the floor so that’s where good pieces got listed.
I believe in the expanding next NFT run, this should reverse. Especially if humans are using Ai for suggestions and premiums from 2021 get refactored.
I think the beauty of art blocks in particular is how on chain all the lore and rarities are. For humans, many of us can forget or never tune in. For AIs running data analysis, it’s both clear, present, and most intriguing.
I have a project on gpt o3 pro where I dumped all the art blocks trait lore i had in my head, as well as sales history through 2020. If anyone shopping for great pieces would like advice, I’d be happy to help.

From @TheAthleticFC: A digital artwork of Lionel Messi’s favorite goal, created by world-renowned artist Refik Anadol using artificial intelligence, was auctioned at Christie’s for $1.87 million. nyti.ms/3IWZNwx

NFTs and art will go next
low hanging grails are already getting scooped up
soon the floors will start to move
just as eth was ignored/neglected/trolled when it was down, so too art on the blockchain has had a rough year or two
but remember, once interest picks back up, and prices go back up, everyone will "remember" how amazing on chain art really is - whether your cup of tea is gen art (so ded), ai art, 1/1s, pfps, the Memes, Rare Pepes 🐸, art on BTC (what up CENTS)
it will get red hot again, and will likely make 2021 look like an appetizer
in hindsight (like eth) it will be blindingly obvious
tick tock...

soo soo insanely impressed by the @ToledoMuseum new execution of digital art. Amazingly executed in a way that really highlights and elevates the work. Putting together a massive survey of this new movement is no small feat, huge congrats to all!!!
One day I’ll wake up and we will have a roster of folks like xcopy and Tyler Hobbs all doing opepen @jackbutcher releases as we get closer to the projects expiry
Then the unrevealed 1/1s will be the unobtainable
Currently only 6 for sale of ~120. Quite a few getting snapped up

This week @HivemindCap has added three more Winds of Yawanawa to our Digital Culture Fund collection, now totalling 45 which includes 7 flowers, 6 freezing and 3 scorching.
During the Digital Art Award ceremony last week in London, I had the pleasure to meet in length with Chief Nixiwaka, the leader of the Amazonian Yawanawa tribe and one of the most relevant indigenous leaders of our time. Chief Nixiwaka has dedicated his entire life to reclaiming his people's ancient culture and spiritualism, and believes deeply that modern technology such as blockchain and AI, if used properly, can fundamentally change fate of the indigenous people and preserve their culture forever. He thanked us sincerely for being the largest collector of WoY, which empowered his people with better resources to prosper. It’s at that moment I realized the meaning of art is far beyond what one observes on canvas or screens.
We will keep going.

After 68 weeks of writing about Winds of Yawanawá by @refikanadol and the Yawanawá people, here is my synthesis on why AI art is truly art and why it should not be dismissed as just a complex screensaver @jerrysaltz
A thread 🧵 👇
This was one of my favourite NFT moments in last couple years @Vince_Van_Dough @jackbutcher
