There’s a large category of things in the home that are transitory and forgotten by designers. Dish racks, the bathroom trash can, dust pans, short lived utilitarian things that just need to be cheap and good enough, so they end up abjectly ugly. But we face them daily, and they look back at us with their profane cheap plastic faces. I can’t stand this kind of thing. They form the bedrock of daily life and their cheap uncared for forms echo into everything else. Home Depot is like a graveyard of this kind of zombie object. You could easily make a mass manufactured cheap ceiling light that wasn’t gruesomely ugly, I guess Ikea is trying to do that, but it should be the default not the exception. We need to collectively reject the ugly mundane things and demand beauty

This cast by @sterlingcrispin perfectly summarizes the main theory behind my work over the past few years. 

Not many people pick up on the mundane design of everyday household objects. One of my goals is to change the way people look at these items, in return improving the mood within the comfort of our own homes and minds.

McQueen
2018 · Movie · ★★★★★

Tons of behind the scenes with McQueen crafting clothes & planning shows. IMO, the only creative directors who’ve gotten close to his runway essence are Virgil & Demna. 

Highly recommend, even if you’re not into fashion.

Tezos is a prime example of how passionate artists will find strong communities of like-minded people.

As L2s begin to takeoff, we should study what makes tezos unique. It’s no secret they’ve managed to host some of today’s most quality digital artwork.

James Blake’s effort towards paywalling with Vault seem promising. 

I could see NFTs becoming a token to access that exclusive content

I’m still gliding off 2 espresso shots from earlier, so why not:

Paywalling feels like the temporary winning model for music NFTs. 

Once the tipping point occurs (widespread industry consensus of “streaming bad, purchasing good”), hopefully some services come along to compile audio oriented nfts into one central hub for listening, likely a wallet, then people will care more to fill their player & collect music via nfts.

First Arsham, now Murakami.

I expect a huge influx of participants are on their way if onchain summer continues to top this. 

- my latest txn fee was half of a penny 
- collected from culturally iconic artists
- didn’t leave CB ecosystem 

Each one of these points address significant barriers we experienced in ‘20 & ‘21. It’s evident that progress is being made. 

With that said, here are some of my favorite pick ups from today:

I should clarify. 

Culturally iconic artists did participate in ‘20, a few of whom emerged from this time, but the negative stigma amongst artists + “nfts r bad” pressure from peers has settled (for now).
