Spectacular Structures
Thousands gather at Casa Batlló in Barcelona, Spain to witness ‘Structures of Being’ by Sofia Crespo, “a work that carries Gaudí's legacy into the future by merging AI with the natural forms of the house”. Many reflect live as attendees, including Ana María Caballero, Pablo Fraile, and Toni Marinara.

Closing Thoughts
A stunner of a Sunday watching the XCOPY sales roll off one at a time over hours. Usually when that amount of WETH bids we think wallet compromise, but that does not seem to be the case. The majority of editions were spread to Doomed DAO related homes, with collectors excited for the opportunities.
This promises to be an interesting week! Not only do we have the auction house closes listed above (Tues & Wed), but we also have major collections releasing by Claire Silver and Roope Rainisto.
An ongoing and relevant topic re: the future of digital art is display. As display improves, so do the possibilities of many artists and artworks we encounter on a daily basis. While it is not an accessible form of display, seeing Sofia Crespo and ‘Structures of Being’ cast over Casa Batlló via projection is a positive and meaningful milestone that caused me to reflect on present and future moments to come.
