Happy New Year, 24 Hours of Art!

2024 was one hell of a year, wasn't it? It was (very) challenging at times, and yet if you've made it this far it set the table for a strong 2025 in the digital art world.

It has been an honor walking this Substack forward for close to 18 months, matching the daily pace of 24 Hours of Art on X / Twitter with a deeper Report companion on weekdays.

With the effort that goes into these deeper Reports, I knew 24 Hours of Art eventually needed a Subscription or Ad model of some kind. I don't like rushing decisions, so instead of launching something inauthentic, together we kicked the can forward and kept going.

As the page turns to 2025, it’s finally time to launch something that makes sense.

Step One: A New Home

24hours.art is the ticker.

Built together with our partner Transient Labs, it is an overdue home for the 24 Hours of Art brand!

There you will see a 'Daily Reports' menu item, the new home of these deeper Reports. Prefer email? Once connected, you can enter yours. Fresh email delivery begins next week.

Step Two: A New Subscription

For access to the above, we released a 2025 Subscription token on Shape.

It offers the informational benefits of a standard Subscription, while allowing us to (1) create a dynamic ART token that remains as an artifact of 2025 and (2) opens optionality to do fun things as the year unfolds. I think of it as a hybrid Subscription that is very much alive.

Subscription Information:

Dynamic What? The token itself updates every single day (365 times) to each new ART design reveal. At the close of the year, it lives on, continuing to show you what happened year(s) earlier.

Cost: 0.0624 ETH

Translation: At today's ETH price, approximately $215 total ($18/month)

Why Use Blockchain? It is native to what we cover and also… wallet addresses. They open doors to do things for subscribers that email simply doesn't.

Why Use L2? These Subscription tokens are minted on Shape, an Ethereum L2. With part of the Subscription token's value proposition being report utility, we don't want fees or gas getting in the way.

Can I Pay in Fiat (USD)? Sigh... not yet. It is very important to solve this as the year moves forward. I would like the answer to be yes.

What Can I Pay With? Even with the token being on Shape, Transient Labs makes it easy to seamlessly use ETH stored anywhere, meaning on Shape, on Base, on Mainnet, etc.

Step Three: A New Balance

Regardless of this new path, it is important to continue delivering value far and wide. It is good for digital art, good for everyone, and good for 24 Hours of Art.

We will still release a Partial Report every, single day via X / Twitter with a Highlights collage and a main story. Example: today!

Line items, links, and editorial thoughts from yours truly will then exist within the Full Report via the website and (as of next week) email.

Onward and Upward

That’s all for now.

Questions or feedback?

Please feel free to email, reply here, or direct message me via X / Twitter. I’d love to hear from you.

Onward and upward into 2025. The journey continues with a different look, the same mission, and more conviction than ever!

First, the art. You can find today’s abbreviated highlights here on X, and they include a Christie’s closing, Zach Lieberman Art Blocks auction, Neurocolor Noble Gallery release and more…

24 Hours of Art in 2025

Yesterday marked several milestones in the 24 Hours of Art world:

2025: Dynamic Subscriptions

We announced a 2025 subscription token that both ties to token gated and/or emailed Reports, as well as dynamic art that updates 365 times as the year unfolds.

Are you a member of the Collective?
Discounted Presale is live here for several more hours!

Public sale opens at 12:00pm ET today.

2025: A New Home

Welcome to the new 24 Hours of Art website, where token gated content will ultimately live. You will see that the above Subscription mint is accessible there as well via a build from our fabulous partners at Transient Labs!

Today: The 24 Hour Show!

Now let’s get to today’s craziness.

At 12:00pm ET, we will be live via X (@RogerDickerman profile) with 24 literal hours of art content to celebrate art, turn the calendar on 24 Hours of Art, and ring in the holidays together.

We welcome guests including 787, Ana Maria Caballero, Ayla El-Moussa, Ben Strauss, Bryan Brinkman, Chikai, Coldie, DeeZe, die with the most likes, Dr. Mimi Nguyen, Funghibull, Jack Butcher, Micah Johnson, Nat Emodi, Parrott, Shavonne Wong, Skygolpe, Stephen Santoro, Steve Miller, ThankYouX, Trevor & Violet Jones… and many more (as you might imagine this 24 hours is still evolving!)

We will also have 24 Hours of Art Art Director Justin Wetch and Advisor Matthew Ferrick to engage in both a live design and a live report. After all, we must continue our commitments, and we’ll do so together with you.

Finally, ahead of what promises to be the wildest day of the year, I’d like to take a moment to appreciate you. If you’re reading this line, you’re a big part of why we do what we do!

Via Yatreda:
“A big congratulations to the winner Blondie23LMD [pukalisa.eth]. Anyone who got the chance to spend time with her in real life knows what kind of true person she is. A strong and successful business leader but also so genuine and supportive to the arts.

I was so thankful to have Blondie join our group all the way at Toledo Museum to see the exhibition. At the museum, we worked so hard to raise the quality of digital art exhibitions and take what we are doing to the next level. Experiencing how this has been received alongside friends like this is truly rewarding.”

Closing Thoughts

Mixed results at each house. The big winner of Christie’s is Yatreda, setting a new USD high mark, while 6 Lots went unsold. Sotheby’s sees strong results for Pindar Van Arman, Refik Anadol’s Winds, and Rui Huang, while seeing the Micro Fidenza by Tyler Hobbs fall significantly short of a Micro that traded last week.

24 Hours of Art: Designs

“Software-as-sculpture” collection ‘Cycles’ by Material Protocol Arts (matto and neokry.eth) privately mints out its 1/1/512 collection at 0.2 ETH each.

Via Material Protocol Arts:
“Cycles is designed to run, and change, for years, decades, centuries.

With Cycles, one of our goals is to make an artwork that could not exist in another medium, and that uses its affordances to a meaningful end.

Ethereum offers plausible longevity, a chance to use time as an art material.

This lens, as part of the kinetic sculpture, will be going through its changes long after we're gone.”

Diverse day with a lot to look at.

The auction houses are coming in hot these next 24+ hours with three separate closings. As far as today’s closes go, Yatreda is set to close strong at Christie’s, and eyes on the Micro Fidenza at Sotheby’s, especially after one just traded in a ~750k USD equivalent deal to close last week.

24 Hours of Art: Designs

‘DOOM Party’ by XCOPY sells for 180 ETH (~$712,404) to rhynotic-vault from RFC_ART via LarryH.

Originally minted in 2020 with AsyncArt, the 1/1 artwork is the “Master” Layer of a dynamic art release. It displays a full canvas of choices made by “Participant” Layer collectors, as well as “Death’s Device” background and “Death’s Hand” collectors.

On November 5th, Rhynotic posts:
“‘DOOM Party’ / ‘The Rabble’ are my favorite XCOPY works as they could not exist without the blockchain.”

Then, just after completing the collection:
“You will end up buying native cryptoart at the price you deserve.”

The Last Verdandi

“…the last 2017 Verdandi directly from the artist. Only 13 exist of these grails of early 1/1 art on Ethereum.” prefaces Adam McBride.

On the 7th anniversary of Verdandi’s Artefacts, the 13th and final - ’‘Nice To Meet You’ - sells for 4 WETH to dmor0x in auction.

Via Verdandi:
“When I first came to Ethereum in 2017, I was inspired by the idea that my digital art could be ownable. There was no money back then and certainly, no one knew what an NFT was.

All that didn’t matter to me, I learned how to code myself and tokenized this collection.

I believed in the crypto culture and possibilities back then, I believe in it MORE today.”

The week is off to a strong start with a classic 2020 XCOPY, a 2017 Verdandi, two 2021 Helena Sarin artworks, and a 2022 Pindar Van Arman changing hands. Not to mention a significant offer in for a 2022 Socmplxd. A day for the secondary 1/1 archives.

Incoming:

This week is the biggest one of the year for 24 Hours of Art! We’ll be announcing decisions for 2025, appearing on several X Spaces, and hosting a literal 24 hour show (seriously) beginning this Thursday at 12:00pm ET.

Here we go!

24 Hours of Art: Designs

The dust has settled on ‘Latent Ink’ by Eko33 with Fellowship and ARTXCODE, and as of last night Fellowship estimates the final result at 370 ETH or $1.44M. That makes it the highest primary art sale of the calendar year.

18 additional secondary sales are in for 24.23 ETH, with collection list now at 1.75 ETH.

Via Fellowship:
“Slow, paced and with beautiful energy, we’re grateful to share that all Latent Ink artworks have found a collector.

Thank you to everyone who engaged with this project, whether by collecting, sharing, or simply exploring the works. This collection of 500 pieces—a blend of AI-driven techniques, generative algorithms, and hand-crafted refinement—was a deeply thoughtful collaboration between human intuition and machine precision…

Most importantly, we want to say congratulations to EKO on doing a project that pushed your artistic concepts to a new place.”

Punk X Micro

Micro-Uniform Scale ‘Fidenza #803’ is now in the collection of Punk4945 via a trade brokered by Eli Scheinman.

It comes by way of Philbirt in exchange for:

• ‘CryptoPunk #4214’

• ‘The Deadness’ /25 by XCOPY

• 125 ETH

Via philbirt.eth:
“this one in particular reminded me of celebratory times like a burst of confetti or a champagne bottle freshly popped. glad it has passed on to a good steward, and thankful to Eli for the smooth brokerage.”

OG Single Check

Via Jalil:
“First checks composite in a single transaction, using the new "Compositor.sol" contract...
By OG_crookedwest”

OG is now the owner of 1 of 67 single checks, ‘Checks 669’.

Via Jack Butcher:
“check 669
day 669
supply 9,969”

Volume from the Checks collections by Visualize Value.

• ‘Checks - VV Edition’ /4,996: 17 sales for 7 ETH, list: 0.43 ETH

• ‘Checks - VV Originals’ /4,973: 19 sales for 5.22 ETH, list: 0.34 ETH

Anchor Heartbreak

The wallet of Anchor Drops is victim to a heartbreaking hack, with two ‘Skulls of Luci’ and a 1/1 artwork by Sam Spratt, among many other artworks and BTC, transferred out. Each Skull subsequently sells for 25 WETH.

No pictures or extra words are necessary here. Our heart goes out to Anchor, and we are rooting for some form of resolution as time passes. Stay safe.

24 Hours of Art: Designs

The final 27 ‘Latent Ink’ auctions are in countdown, and a sellout for the 1/1/500 Eko33 collection with Fellowship and ARTXCODE is now a guarantee.

The collection is paced to exceed 350 ETH when all is said and done. Final number tomorrow.

Today a new all-time high is set as ‘#225’ (pictured) sells for 5 ETH from NedRyerson to JamieOV.

Via Pablo Fraile:
“I’m confident this collection will stand out as the defining generative release of the year

Latent Ink is profound, varied, and full of depth. Eko33 has proven to be a true master, elevating generative art from creative coding into a form of artistic expression that feels timeless

A masterpiece collection”

Art Blocks Debut

‘while true’ 1/1/60 by Lars Wander with Art Blocks sells out at 0.3 ETH each via auction.

Via Lars Wander:
“i've been waiting for this moment since i first heard of the [Art Blocks] platform in 2021...

each work runs endlessly in your browser, constantly evolving as it replaces itself tile-by-tile.”

That’s not all.

‘Observation & Interaction #1’ by Lars Wander is acquired for 5,000 USD by Le Random via Nguyen Wahed.

Closing Thoughts

It is safe to say at this stage ‘Latent Ink’ has exceeded even the most bullish of projections (and I’m on the very bullish pre-release record). A phenomenal outcome any way you look at it.

While you may have your own opinions on where “The Nakamoto Card” fits within the art ecosystem, there is no doubting that its sale trends are a good general indicator. This sale outpaces all ETH sales in USD terms since March.

‘Latent Ink’ 1/1/500 by Eko33 with Fellowship and ARTXCODE is on fire.

212.4 ETH in sales are currently recorded with more than 50+ ETH live in auction countdown. Less than 50 of the artworks remain available.

‘#028’ (pictured) appears destined to become the collection’s all-time high, with a 4 ETH bid in auction countdown (ends 11:23am ET).

Via Alejandro Cartagena:
“We had a hunch that this was going to be special and that the work would talk on its own… I love to see artists win, especially when so much effort and care is put into what they do.”

Tradeoffs are Games

Exactly one month ago, Jack Butcher and Jalil released a new Ethereum Artifacts protocol with the artwork ‘Tradeoffs’, minted nearly 150,000 times.

‘Drag’ is a new mint that launches a ‘Redeemed’ collection with the description “The tradeoffs will continue.” Each ‘Drag’ required 64 burned ‘Tradeoffs’.

Ultimately 507 editions of ‘Drag’ are minted (and a massive 32,448 ‘Tradeoffs’ are burned!) The edition has a current list of 0.1799 ETH.

Closing Thoughts

Big numbers at the top of the day! A collection of the year candidate winds down.

Elsewhere volume slows but highlights stay strong across Fidenzas, Winds, Gazers, Beeple, and XCOPY.

It’s nice to see LG Art Lab finding its way after pivoting from 1/1 releases to accessible edition counts, first with Mendezmendez and now Bryan Brinkman.

‘Latent Ink’ by Eko33 opens with Fellowship in Allowlist Access. The 1/1/500 collection sees 109 sales for 67.5 ETH across 81 unique owners thus far.

#001 (pictured) is acquired by Phantom Scribbler for 1 ETH.

Via Dmitri Cherniak:
“The development of Eko33’s generative and AI process has been a joy to watch. These works just speak for themselves.”

Via Ned Ryerson:
“The style of Latent Ink was born with a series of 25 1/1s in late 2023, titled Terra Incognita. They were priced at 1.5 eth and many of the sales were done direct, but the last two went to auction and sold for 2.5 and 4.169 eth respectively.”

Public Access begins today at 12:00pm ET for the remainder of the collection.

Doomed Anon

‘The Doomed’ /100 by XCOPY sees a 30 WETH sale from Titans_Vault.

Within the past three days, its anonymous collector has acquired a ‘Fidenza’ by Tyler Hobbs, ‘GIGACHAD’ by Beeple, ‘Chromie Squiggle’ by Snowfro, and (today’s) ‘Meridian’ by Matt DesLauriers.

Twin Flames Conviction

“Just bought back Twin Flames #2 for 16.99 ETH from a liquidated fund.

It was third on the floor. It was the highest selling Twin Flames on Opensea in 2021 for 207 ETH. Now repriced at a price it deserves.

Have conviction in your self, or nothing at all; Skin in the game.”

With those words, artist Justin Aversano resets ‘Twin Flames #2. Jessica & Joyce Gayo’ at a 269 ETH list within his 1/1/100 ‘Twin Flames’ collection, originally released in February, 2021.

Closing Thoughts

Latent Ink will be fun to watch today, as it transitions into public phase. It uses a 2:1 buy now vs. start auction pricing mechanic, so I expect to see many auctions begin in short order.

Bold’s first NFT in his current format that has caught fire is in countdown on Foundation. Its initial bid (4.2 ETH) is high enough that it may end there, but I’m curious to see if it grabs any last minute attention.

Closing Thoughts

We are back from Art Basel, with the main takeaway that this year - more than any other - felt like digital art is normalized and simply belongs.

Even though there were no newsletters, there are always 24 Hours of Art. Catch-up via X Highlights here.

While the digital art market has certainly taken a breather after its epic week-long surge, it’s important to frame a day like today as one that would have outpaced many days before it. Ample highlights.

Let’s have a great week. It’s time to set the table for 24 Hours of Art in 2025!

Live This Week:

• Monday (Today!) 12:00pm ET: Latent Ink X Spaces with Eko33 and Alejandro Cartagena

• Tuesday 1:00pm ET: BITFRAMES X Spaces with Matt DesLaurier and Nat Emodi

Recorded:

• ‘The Future of Art’ Podcast Episode 33 with Eko33 and Alejandro Cartagena

24 Hours of Art: Designs

Art Blocks again leads the day, and three collections top the charts:

• ‘Chromie Squiggle’ /10k by Snowfro: 19 sales for 100.2 ETH, list: 5.45 ETH

• ‘Fidenza’ /999 by Tyler Hobbs: 39.9 & 35.5 ETH, list: 39.5 ETH

• ‘Ringers’ /1k by Dmitri Cherniak: 14.89 & 14 ETH to MarshlandLLC, list: 17 ETH

Contemporary Value

Via Jack Butcher:
“Value invites reflection on how worth is constructed. Is value inherent in the object, or is it determined by the systems that validate it? The work challenges us to consider whether centralized institutions or decentralized networks will shape the future of ownership and authenticity—and, ultimately, how we define value itself.”

For one day at least, value is defined as approximately 15 ETH.

A massive trade breaks in the Jack Butcher and Visualize Value ecosystem, as October 2022 1/1 artwork ‘Value’ moves from Matt O’Brien to 0xDigitalOil, in exchange for 30 Visualize Value works, including 16 ‘Checks - VV Originals’ and 14 assorted ‘Opepen Edition’.

Closing Thoughts

Volume is the word of the day! While yes, we’ve seen surges of it here and there, it hasn’t been spread as broadly as within these 24 hours of art.

We are off to Art Basel Miami tomorrow and will be at the Miami Digital Art Fair for a 12:00pm ‘Collecting The Future’ panel alongside Pablo Fraile, GMoney, and Aleksandra. We then deliver a 1:00pm keynote ‘State of Art: Digital Art by the Numbers’.

Reminder: 24 Hours of Art never misses a day! While we’ll shift back into abbreviated mode through Basel, you can always check in on the latest via my X Highlights tab.

Closing Thoughts

The digital art market is in an interesting phase with sentiment swinging near daily. “Art is back” just as easily becomes a reality check 24 hours later. This particular 24 hour period falls somewhere in the middle.

We’ve been having strong discussion on the above, relative to both present and future, in the 24 Hours of Art Telegram.

Highlights that caught my eye today: ‘The Deadness’ by XCOPY at a good level (there is a slightly higher WETH offer in now), ‘ICXN’ stabilizes and finds its home, Sheldrick quietly makes noise in 1/1, how close is antxx24 to a full LetsWalk set?, and it’s always fun to see the Color Study that started it all (‘pale blue death’) make an appearance in the ACK world.

Closing Thoughts

It is a quiet open to the week, but there is still plenty to observe.

Eye catching line items include a strong aesthetic Squiggle and Anticyclone, Antxx continues to acquire Anadol, and RemiZain collects a sleeper XCOPY limited edition via Noble Gallery.

Incoming today are the 24 hour Carpoolers II auctions. It feels right that Alejandro Cartagena has a moment for his own art after strong years of Fellowship curation.

Closing Thoughts

The week closes with XCOPY, immediately after Joe Pease. Think about that. Two very different collections and in the end, equally massive. Many, many line items to review today including a fun Tormius sellout, an early Claire Silver 1/1, a Fidenza, a Day Zero Squiggle, Pease PAGGAGE CLAIM, and more.

‘everything vs nothing’ by Joe Pease with Glitch Gallery closes 30 video artworks in auction for 373.71 ETH ($1,150,000).

Marco Peyfuss, co-founder of Transient Labs (builders of the auction site experience), reports 131 unique bidders and 469 bids across the artworks. Artwork winners include Blondie23LMD, Flamingo DAO, Sunday Funday, and the collection’s high mark is ‘constant’, acquired for 24 ETH by kanbas.

Via maltefr (Glitch, Curator):
“We set out to break away from the prevailing platform model, which prioritized a high volume of releases and standardized mechanics. Instead, we focused on storytelling that elevates conversations about digital art and crypto culture within the space.”

Via Ronald (collector of ‘threshold’):
“Been a huge fan of Joe’s work since the beginning of time, back in early 2022. He was an undiscovered gem and instantly knew this would change in near future. The depth of introspection that his work provides was truly immense and definitely shook me to core. Here we are, after 2 years.”

Via Marco Peyfuss:
“It was an honor to play a small role in the exhibition for ‘everything vs nothing’. Seeing the way Joe and the Glitch team operate is nothing short of perfection and it was a bunch of fun building a website experience that matched the exhibition.”

Rainisto Symbiosis

‘Symbiosis’ by Roope Rainisto concludes with Mercedes-Benz. 66 artworks are sold at $650 each and $42,900 total.

The collection is based on images of “cars, art, and architecture at the Mercedes-Benz Museum and selected additional images from the Mercedes-Benz Classic archives” serving as a resource for Rainisto’s AI model.

Via Roope Rainisto:
“I like to look to opportunities to get my art presented in new venues - working with brands was a new experience for me, and there aren't much better brands that Mercedes that came to my mind, with their long history of supporting arts and artists.”

‘everything vs nothing’ by Joe Pease with Glitch Gallery captivates in auction count down.

The 1/1/30 video artwork collection totals 91 ETH in current bids with a 12:00pm ET conclusion around the corner. ‘closer’ has the current high bid of 10.8 ETH.

Via Joe Pease:
“thirty video artworks
forever connected
to a 1/1 video artwork that will never be minted”

Autoglyph Alert

‘Autoglyphs’ 1/1/512 by Larva Labs sees more activity as ‘Autoglyph #210’ sells for 90 WETH ($280,276). It was originally minted and collected on April 8, 2019 for 0.2 ETH ($36).

Yatreda’s Throne

‘Fertility Throne’ by Yatreda sells for $42,000 USD to Fred A.

Part of the five artwork ‘Abyssinian Queen’ collection, it directly follows Yatreda’s sale to The Toledo Museum of Art. Three artworks have now been acquired, with a fourth destined for Christie’s auction.

Via Fred A:
“To me, Yatreda has masterfully woven the rich history of her people into a contemporary context, all while mastering impeccable aesthetics. She has also created a medium uniquely suited to our space—not quite photography, nor video, but a living, vibrant time capsule. Her early success was unsurprising given the uniqueness of her art, but what’s truly remarkable is how she has managed to grow, maintain consistency, and preserve cohesion without ever repeating herself or succumbing to the temptation of taking the easy path. I believe we’re only at the beginning of what promises to be a very interesting journey.”

Via Yatreda:
“I want to thank Fred for his friendship, his patronage as a collector, and the valuable wisdom he has shared with us over the years as a gallery owner and member of Fellowship.”

Fried’s Silkscreens

‘Outer Reaches’ by Jake Fried with Noble Gallery completes its mint of 30 digital + signed, numbered, and framed prints. Each sells for $2,500, totaling $75,000.

Via Jake Fried:
“It was special for me to work on a silkscreen print for the first time, and exciting to embrace the unique qualities the medium offered. I see Outer Reaches in conversation with my other recent nft/prints (textured UV pigment, lenticular), each exploring unique ways of translating and complimenting my digital animations in physical form. The push and pull between ink-on-paper and pixels-on-screen is fundamental to understanding and appreciating my work.”

Via Matt Szczur (part of Noble Gallery):
“A lot of hard work and love went into this one. Really happy to see this!”

Cryptonative fund Curated acquires ‘Autoglyph #239’ by Larva Labs via private deal from j1mmy_vault. It is now the 15th (!) Autoglyph (there are 512 total) in their collection.

Via Curated co-founder Todd Goldberg:
“We are so back. Our first large acquisition in some time.”

The Queen of Toledo

The Toledo Museum of Art announces acquisition of ‘Abyssinian Queen’ by Yatreda for 50,000 USDC. It is the first time a major museum uses cryptocurrency to purchase an artwork for its collection.

Via TMA Director and CEO Adam Levine:
"Abyssinian Queen is a welcome addition to our growing digital art collection. When we buy a new artwork from a French gallery, we pay in euros; when we buy from an English auction house, we pay in pounds. In this case, we are purchasing from the web3 artist collective Yatreda ያጥሬዳ, so it only made sense to try to transact in their preferred currency."

Via Yatreda:
“By embracing the blockchain as a modern canvas for this evolving story, the TMA team is pioneering a bold direction for institutions worldwide.”

You can find more about the context of this transaction in a story I published this morning.

Institutional waves for Yatreda! You may see this story a lot today, and it is one that should age like fine wine as digital art progresses into the future.

All eyes on Joe Pease today. Buckle up.

24 Hours of Art: The Digital Art Market Report

Volume II (Sept - Oct) of The Digital Art Market Report is Live:

• The social announcement is here (shares appreciated!)

• Access it directly here

24 Hours of Art: Designs

‘Carpoolers II’ by Alejandro Cartagena, exhibited and presented with Vertu Fine Art, opens.

The 1/1/50 collection (#51-100) is a sequel to Cartagena’s 2021 ‘Carpoolers’ collection. It sees an early sequence of 8 private sales (public on blockchain) for 13 ETH total to collectors including delronde, DinoG and AmbrP, and WAPSHOP.

Via Vertu Fine Art:
“Carpoolers is a striking photographic series that captures the daily commutes of laborers in Monterrey, Mexico, offering a powerful commentary on routine, economic disparity, and environmental efficiency.”

AI Junk Mail

ClownVamp and ‘The Junk Machine’ leave Marfa as a star of the show.

The 200 artwork collection mints out for 17.6 ETH total (0.088 ETH each) with an additional 1 ETH on secondary and list of 0.22 ETH.

Via Schmrypto:
“To my mind there are only really three things that matter in AI art: a recognizable style (in the broadest sense), a narrative, and some conceptual reason to exist.

Junk Machine nailed all three: obviously ClownVamp's work, it tells an interesting story about marketing, especially American marketing of the late 20th-Century, and it positions itself to force discussion around 'worthless' art, a perception common to both AI and ads.

The actual physical installation, which centered around a totally offline image generating device in the style of 80's toys marketed to girls, was also flawless and remarkably coherent, and in a space that suited it perfectly.

As the Junk Machine itself tours I expect the collection will come to be viewed as a reference point for physicalized AI.”

Via ClownVamp:
“Thank you to everyone in Marfa and online for all the support. I'll share more reflections this week, but look out for the robot to travel a lot in 2025 spreading free prints.”
