@tomu dives into each of the trending apps for sharing photos onchain — Moshi Cam, Rodeo, Zora — describing each app's unique features and rewards mechanism, and how he believes they’re shaping a new social behavior towards content. "We've shifted our perception of NFTs from being scarce assets created by specific artists to something we mint just for the fun of it." https://paragraph.xyz/@tomu/onchain-pictures

@curiocards writes about artist Daniel Friedman, who has a Stanford Ph.D. in Biology and combines his expertise in ant colonies and decentralization with his passion for art, creating intricate pen-based drawings that have gained recognition in the NFT world. "Noting his process, Friedman says it’s just about “repeating motifs, and making it kind of elusive of a large whole, a part that’s not on the page, which indicates a broader sense of challenge and complexity — [a] complexity on and off the page [which] is part of one’s relation with the stimuli.”" https://mirror.xyz/0x8Fbf5c7Ca1295e892cC865500A8420C3316b889c/ztyis_d2IhlBUAb0LI4mCjJrvomZr939O1T71a5-R1Y

@usv's Grace Carney explores how using ideas from social theory can help investors understand technological changes and potentially predict future changes. "During times [of intense technological innovation], there’s value to be had in leaning on disciplines like social theory to gain a more human, and therefore more holistic, view of the world changing around us." https://paragraph.xyz/@in-transit.com/toward-a-social-theory-of-venture

@katiewav interviews artist Maya Man, discussing her exploration of online identity, femininity, and the role of software in art, while also reflecting on her journey into digital art. "I find a lot of fun and joy in being online, and I want to follow that, while also engaging with the part of me that’s hyper-critical of the many detrimental aspects of online culture." https://archetype.mirror.xyz/2HBPhiy8i9kcuBPcqH5uGQJAxI3ak76jVmQ8rAbR7gs
