Thanks to @MaxStalker for jumping in and adding extra theming especially for the Gerbils stories

bookmark this tweet and come revisit it in two years the current crowd is too busy focusing on punk derivatives to realize an entirely new class of art will be created because of smart contracts

Replying to @ClaretBluePod
@ClaretBluePod an idea for Intl break content: a ‘what if’ episode based on a plausible Champions league adventure next season. Pick 3 opponents and describe how the games go.

For example: Villa draw Atletico Madrid, Inter, and RB Leipzig. The first away game at Atlético we get a creditable 1-1 with Luiz scoring a penalty.

(I spent way too long writing this 😂).

Unfortunately away at Milan we are thumped 3-0 and are unable to limit sloppy passes out from the back as lack of experience at this level costs us. This leaves us needing a result at villa park, and while our play is improved our European run ends with an entertaining 3-3 draw.
22
Against Leipzig we get our first win with a sparkling 4-1 performance and goals to Watkins, Diaby, Ramsey, and most notably a header from Mings. In Leipzig we get caught on the break and go down 1-0, our best chance coming from a Tielemans piledriver going wide in the 95th minute

The home leg is largely dull 1-1 affair with villa peppering the goal with long range shots but unable to break the low block. The game is notable only for Buendia making his return from injury in the 68th minute, only to be sent off in the 78th minute for fighting.

Lately I’ve been wondering how the rise of AI will affect how art is valued. Will it tend towards more value placed on provenance of the original art by artist? Ie. Proof it’s not a copy.

Maybe some art will trend towards ‘multi-state’ that has no definitive visual expression - meaning copying it has no point as it in itself is unlimited variation. On-chain art is good for this given it can be infinitely rendered.

Or maybe more value will be placed in having meaningful metadata baked into the art - so the art itself is self authenticating, and less meaningful if you don’t know the metadata ‘narrative’.

I’m looking to start sharing more explorations in onchain nft. We’ll see how it goes 😁
Introducing Outliers - explorations in 1/1 on-chain art. These will be small, random pieces, with a focus on exploring how color, animation, and filters interact. outliers.prmnt.art/

New nft flow unlocked for music: -> Go to gig. -> Get airdropped a "proof of attendance" nft. -> Different artwork for each city of tour. We're massively underestimating how nfts will be used as fan relationship / data tools.

1/2 The @trevorjonesart #CastleParty2023 is upon us and we are delighed to announce the winner of #CastlePartyGerbil Congratulations @thirdman_gareth for a fantastic entry, your vision has been brought to life! nonfungerbils.com/castlepart…
Party Gerbil was horrified. He had been sure that dressing as as a punk musketeer riding a mechanical unicorn with a metal parrot on his shoulder would ensure he was unique, but it turns out that many other gerbils had also arrived wearing costumes of randomly generated traits.

What’s cooler than composable on-chain images? Animated composable on-chain images!

… and finally, consider the possibilities: what if the clouds animated at a speed that reflects the weather at your location? What if there was a day/night setting that controlled the environment. These things are made possible with dynamic on-chain images.
