I have no idea what will happen to $XTZ or its ecosystem in the long term but I do know that some of the best art and creators I’ve seen in this space are there, and that the vast majority of the work released there is hosted on decentralized IPFS and that I’m going to keep enjoying and supporting that work.

For today’s #worthwhile share I’m going with this podcast to featuring the ever brilliant interviewee Magnus Resch on his latest book “How To Collect Art”. This wisdom applies to both trad art & NFTs. Buy what you love, expect no profit, be curious. https://pca.st/episode/727f8b75-de20-4dd3-8aa9-5fe11af50c3c

In keeping with the skull theme from my previous post, for today’s #admired cast I’ll share the finest skull I’ve seen all week. Just today in fact, when I visited the Frieze art fair. This is “Death’s Head Bronze” (2023) by Tom Sachs [enamel on bronze, Ed. of 5 + 3AP]

I'm somewhat of a connoisseur of @jjjjjohn Window Still Life tribute/derivative works. I love the originals and I think they provide a perfect base from which to riff with endless expressive permutations. For today's #collected post I'll share what remains my fav, from @wilyguys https://objkt.com/tokens/hicetnunc/72675

This piece re: the concept of "immersion" in art is very #worthwhile It compares the drastically different experiences of visiting the uber high-tech Sphere in Las Vegas & Michael Heizer's land art masterpiece City in the Nevada desert. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/11/20/the-sphere-and-our-immersion-complex

For today's #admired I'm going with Mary Magdalen in Ecstasy (1606) by Caravaggio (oil on canvas). What an image. It's disputed whether or not this is an authentic Caravaggio or one of numerous copies from his followers but regardless I find its power and well...its erotic appeal undeniable.

OK for today's #collected piece I want to highlight a singular work from a singular artist: Personal Computer by @kris10roos Firstly, an animated woven computer is just a plainly arresting image. Each individual element is familiar, but compounded... https://objkt.com/tokens/KT1F25L66e678foshyNQN51Mnco9mMJnGo59/0

It’s May Day / Labor Day (plus the day following some momentous campus actions) so for today’s #collected “Dystop(!)a” by Amanda Homem seems apropos. I like this work for the multitude of ways it can be interpreted. https://objkt.com/tokens/hicetnunc/118056

Have had an account here for a minute. Never posted, but I’ve admired the vibes from afar. Going to give myself a small challenge and see how long I can keep to it. Will daily endeavor to post: —A piece of art I own —A piece of art I admire —Something related to art that I think is cool/worthwhile. Cheers!
