I'm compiling a reader for my students - this looks good, but was thinking more bite-size

favourite texts about mechanism design, good for introducing an audience to the field? or alternatively, protocols or projects that make good case studies?

Just sharing a selection of the memoryforms minted so far! I love reading what people say about them, and am hoping that over time this can grow to be a collaborative memorial, and leave something permanent onchain even though so many of the Lifeforms themselves were ephemeral 💐 if you cared for a lifeform before Mar 6 of this year, you're eligible to create one - I might expand this to everyone who cared for a lifeform ever but it'll take me a lil while 😅

you can check out the emerging collection here: https://opensea.io/collection/memoryforms the second interaction is a bridge, that moves lifeforms that are older than 1 year from Polygon to Mainnet Ethereum and is a way for a lifeform to "die" intentionally, instead of by disappearing

some pics from my presentation about artist DAOs at Sonar Festival back in June I've been experimenting with interactive presentations formats, first at STRP Festival last year where I convened the audience into a DAO and had them vote on which of my artworks I talked about, and now at Sonar, where I actually wrote a lil app where the audience answered quizzes and as well as voting on which examples I should talk about in detail. It's a little bit tiktok npc and a lil bit educational game show. Planning to clean it up and use again in a somewhat different format early next year 🎰 📸: Jean-Marc Joseph

This series will also be accompanied by Screenshot Folder, an open edition of screenshots from an upcoming video work that are bundled as a pack of 5 images. Each work in the collector pack will have a small chance of minting as a short video, a bit like a foil card in a collector pack

I see this as an opportunity for the artist and collector to collaborate, explore consent and identity, and model an alternative to the harmful proliferation of deepfakes. Each work from this drop will cost 20 TIA

Connected to my explorations of nsfw AI images, Prompt Baby is an edition of 69 prompt credits, where the collector can submit a prompt to a model fine-tuned on images of myself. Each prompt will be prepended by “A photo of Sarah Friend” but otherwise the field is open. I will review the prompts and run them personally, and I may reject them or request modifications. Once accepted, the NFT will updated with the prompted image

ya lol, I wrote the v1 smart contracts, and then co-founded the dev coop that maintained it through the Berlin pilot. I don't know as much about v2, but my understanding is the core economic assumptions are the same

the system is great in theory, but in practice it's highly inflationary and all users who receive CRC have strong incentive to offboard value from the system immediately
