24 HOURS OF ART: Friday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 10/3 - 10/4
Immutable Ripcache
New 1/1 artwork ‘lattice’ by ripcache is privately acquired by Brissi.
Via Brissi:
“From the very beginning, he envisioned his digital works as inherently belonging on the blockchain. His art contrasts the critique of surveillance, centralization, and control with the use of a decentralized, censorship-resistant medium.
It was only natural for him to inscribe his work on the Bitcoin blockchain, as if Bitcoin was made to host immutable, unalterable art.
I have the privilege of owning element 2 from his new collection ‘Hyperscalers_’ titled Lattice. I won’t say more - go experience this fascinating work for yourself

No Ordinary Music
‘n0 0rdinary kind’ by Violetta Zironi closes in auction at 0.99 BTC (~$60,000).
Music Ordinals discussion sparks around the unique song composed and performed by Zironi accompanied by hand drawn artwork from her father, Giuseppe Zironi.
Via Violetta Zironi:
“Is the 34th largest inscription on Bitcoin (535kb)
The first traditional single by a singer songwriter ever released EXCLUSIVELY on Bitcoin”

Closing Thoughts
Overall, art market activity calms down after a face melting 72 hours.
It’s been a minute since Ordinals had a moment, and today is their day across two leading headlines plus a SATs by Harto sale.
Buzz increases around the incoming 1/1/250 XCOPY release on Shape, and some of the current activity across collections is collectors gaming the leaderboard (which ties to the allowlists).
mmERCH is on track to complete their sellout today, a near 100 ETH end result (more when you include the Christie’s auctions).
Infiniteyay is paving a path for curated collections, leveraging SuperRare Series for 8-12 artwork, low reserve releases.
