Closing Thoughts
We kick off a (US) holiday morning with a varied day across digital art.
Meridians and Grifters continue strong weeks. Several examples of collectors expressing continued conviction shine (top of mind are Antxx selection in DeepBlack and FlannelCapital accumulating Omentejovem).
I enjoy seeing previously private collections unveil their acquisitions and the logic behind them. In this case it’s HiveMind sharing another piece of their puzzle in Winds. While snap reactions (both pro and con) are natural on socials, I recommend beginning with an impartial eye. Even in a slower time, this is a vast digital art ecosystem with several categories of participants. Understanding each category can become a superpower over time.
I’m looking forward to highlighting the Fellowship Infinite Images collection, a sleeping giant that has largely moved behind the scenes. They’ll get a feature soon enough!
