Osinachi consistently challenges social, political, religious, and sexual norms. Drive-by Shooting disrupts the trope of racialized gang violence with intimacy and an act of love. Reframing tragedy as romance, this work grants us space to ask many important questions.

Why do many NFTs fall short as works of art? ✔️"Artists" are sometimes marketeers in disguise: hype drives sales, rewarding self-promotion over craft. ✔️Lack of depth: an absence of emotional or conceptual depth leaves works without meaning. ✔️Too much focus on tech: innovation is king, as many are more fluent in code than aesthetics. ✔️Sales over substance: we celebrate sales more than the works themselves, distracting from the greater significance of art.

Rupture by @alcrego This work helps us to peer beyond the static canvas to make manifest the frames and pixels at the heart of the digital. It reminds us that new ways forward can only be found by straying from familiar paths. We must remold both materials and mindsets if we aim to forge something truly new.

Gm. Today we honor Alotta Money, the patron saint of cryptoart and a self-proclaimed NFT machine who passed away 3 years ago. He left behind an abundance of work for us to enjoy, including many sublime self-portraits. Let's explore some of these works! 🧵👇🏽

If cryptoart had an anthem, what would it be? I'll nominate Doug and the Slugs cover of Nobody But Me by the Human Beinz for its zeal, appropriation, and being released on the singer's own record label. 🔊What song you would choose?!?

gm cryptoart lovers! The False Promise by @jivinci This work critiques the lack of transparency around sales by web2 auction houses & the impact on creator royalties. In 2019, Jivinci and Alotta Money created Saint Nakamoto, which set a record for the highest sale of a work of cryptoart at the time. @niftytime.eth was the first owner of the work, acquiring it for 11 eth. The work was later re-sold to Starry Night Capital for 270 eth. Starry Night collapsed during the bear market. When its holdings were liquidated, Sotheby's took custody of the digital assets. Sotheby's sold Saint Nakamoto last December for an undisclosed amount. To this date, royalties have yet to be paid to the artists. The False Promise offers a stark critique of the failure of web2 auction houses to uphold their social contract with creators.
