Pandemic, 5 years later. Impact on artists. Hundreds of pieces (dots) and their descriptions from the chain ~2018-2022 (x-axis). Lines = artist wallets. Red = when their piece mentions virus or health. Spot March 2020. (Many artists arrive with these thoughts, seen in reds clustering along edges; pandemic pensiveness, expression...)

Yup. Trapdoor function, but unlike the ones we most use here -- hash functions, yielding obfuscation -- the de-anon trapdoor function yields total transparency. Hm. Curious.

Haha, nice. Confession: Awkward memories activated. The Hawthorne effect can be interesting in some cases -- e.g., holds even under minimal instruction, just telling someone they are being watched -- I agree it has the cold "macroscale" intuitiveness in almost a Newtonian sense... the article in the IEP does a good job laying out alternative approaches to the measurement effect at the quantum level. But anyway, entanglement suggests that quantum entities may very well be more social than we think, even at a distance. (ba-dum-tss)

Love the concept of "interstitial audience"... the first part hits for me, relates to my desire for full anon status here. I wonder, would you go full anon if you could go back? I wonder how the model of a creator's audience changes conceptually, in these cases. Anons have a full spectrum of personalities online as well (as your newsletter implies too re: neurotic anons :-).

Your last sentence is what Einstein could have said rather than the famous gamblin' God remark, haha. The nature of measurement is itself central to some philosophy of science and epistemology so I find those readings are a little more accessible because philosophers are writing for non-physicists too... e.g.: https://iep.utm.edu/int-qm/ I find it neat that an observer's paradox holds across levels of analysis. E.g., in the social realm, Hawthorne effect may or may not be a kind of intriguing psychological analogue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect

Indeed. Lots of examples... Barabasi has some nice 1/1s, visualizing art community itself. JPG's "Social Contracts" initiative. Past few years, I have a variety of projects with data as the central focus. I use various organizational approaches to rendering, and exploit natural variation in data as the source of visual, conceptual structure. takenstheorem.github.io click "Creative Projects" THANKS FOR ASKING!

Amazing... are you skilled up so that this sort of endeavor feels relaxing & rewarding at the same time while playing? Or more like a workout -- the reward comes after the pain? :)

A ~million transactions on Ethereum, mid 2015. Lines are transactions colored by call type. Green = GENESIS. White = call. Purple = coinbase. Red = selfdestruct. Etc.

Thanks! I intend to release a fuller very high quality version as a 1/1, and have some designs for encoding it on chain using a network-rendering compression method I'm working on... #WIP... <3
