Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 4/10 - 4/11
Based Beams
MOON:BEAM by Shl0ms x Karborn makes contact, minting 720 frames of the recent eclipse in 60 second increments. The release alongside Transient Labs and Base mints a massive 38,709 editions over the course of 12 hours. At 0.00238855 ETH each, the release totals 92.46 ETH.
Via Transient Labs:
“[The artists] bounced a message off the surface of the Moon—and back to Earth—during the great solar eclipse of 2024. They captured it live while positioned directly within the path of totality…
The tokens will continue to evolve over time with additional art and potential.”
House of Fine AI
HOFA Gallery (House of Fine Art) launches ‘New Beginnings: Pioneers of AI Art’ Exhibition. The artists featured are Emily Xie, Sougwen, Kevin Abosch, Elman Mansimov, Niceaunties, and {agoria}.
Collectors announce art acquisitions as Antxx (2) and Jean-Michel Pailhon collect Niceaunties works with Antxx reporting 4.6, 4.6 & 4.4 ETH as the sales.
Via Antxx:
“I never cease to be blown away by the creativity and humour in Niceauntie’s work. This isnt about AI, thats just the tool, this is about imagination.”
Mpkoz Mecha
Mpkoz and Avant Arte release Mecha. 50 print and NFT pairings sell out at $3,284 each and $164,200 total.
Via Avant Arte:
“In its final iteration, the outputs coming from mpkoz’s algorithm began reminding him of Mecha anime. This stylistic similarity, made evident by the aggressive, metallic, and mechanically-leaning compositions, caused him to name the project ‘Mecha’.”
MDJ Dimensions
Mad Dog Jones concludes Phase 2 of his Fallen Gravity Collection on Nifty Gateway:
Infinite Depth: 128 minted at $349, $44,672 total
Unknowable Dimensions: 113 minted at $749, $84,637 total
Phase 2 Total: $129,309
Via MDJ:
“This collection was so fun to make and I can't wait for all the physicals and space travel to come, a truly wild timeline!
There are so many new ways to move in this space, and I love and encourage people to push boundaries and move forward.”
