Vera The Visionary
Digital and generative pioneer Vera Molnár has passed at 99 years of age.
The art community gathers to pay tribute, a process which will rightfully last for quite some time.
“I am interested in what the machine can do that is specific to the machine, and I am interested in the surprise that comes out of it.” - Vera Molnár (via Unit London)

Closing Thoughts
RIP Vera. That really says it all today. There are many real-time Themes and Variations sales happening as I type. I will leave those for tomorrow’s recap and keep today’s headline as the spotlight.
The report is on Miami time at present moment! Thanks for bearing with the travel and chaos. We’ve been able to capture some good art moments on the ground, including this Transient Labs x MakersPlace walkthrough.
We made an appearance yesterday on the GM W3B3 Show (segment begins just after the 1 hour market) to highlight 5 artists. They were: Bryan Brinkman, Die with the most likes, BoldLeonidas, Summer Wagner, and 2018 AI.
