24 HOURS OF ART
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights and Analysis from September 12-13th
On-Chain Headline
Autoglyph #154 changes hands for 100 WETH seemingly via loan default. On-chain generative art pioneer collection by Larva Labs last sold 1 month ago for 158 WETH.
Update: Autoglyph #154 was used for a NEW LOAN post-expiration and did not outright default. Good news for the owner with a higher collection offer in place!
Distance Arrives
Distance by William Mapan begins allowlist minting. Made in support of LACMA's Art and Technology Lab in collaboration with Cactoid Labs, collection sees 41 ETH in secondary thus far. In the words of Mapan, “It is about seeing the bigger picture”, a phrase that applies to both this collection and the continued emergence of digital and generative art.
Good Meat
die with the most likes takes over Nifty Gateway, sells out 364 $69 Chub Packs including 47 unique pieces. Collection sees $44k+ in volume with active secondary. Artist theory that “art should be smothered in a lubricated glaze like an airport Cinnabon” validated.

Closing Thoughts
Its fitting that on-chain pioneer Autoglyphs makes news on the same day that William Mapan’s Distance collection enters the LACMA. Truly a big picture moment.
Winds of Yawanawa price momentum shifts to another Refik collection: Machine Hallucinations - NYC with action on both OpenSea and Nifty Gateway.
die with the most likes Nifty Gateway collection is nostalgic in its structure. Low cost, pack distribution, relatively scarce, lets collectors run with secondary market. I’m not suggesting we see the trend replicated, but that’s how Nifty Gateway originally caught fire.
