24 HOURS OF ART: Tuesday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 12/16 - 12/17
Cycles Concludes
“Software-as-sculpture” collection ‘Cycles’ by Material Protocol Arts (matto and neokry.eth) privately mints out its 1/1/512 collection at 0.2 ETH each.
Via Material Protocol Arts:
“Cycles is designed to run, and change, for years, decades, centuries.
With Cycles, one of our goals is to make an artwork that could not exist in another medium, and that uses its affordances to a meaningful end.
Ethereum offers plausible longevity, a chance to use time as an art material.
This lens, as part of the kinetic sculpture, will be going through its changes long after we're gone.”

Via Matt Zhang:
“Have been a big fan of Zach's works for quite some time, and always been fascinated by how he pushes the boundary of exploring light, color and geometry. Box Light Studies is a perfect example of that, and I can't wait to see the sculpture live!”

Closing Thoughts
Diverse day with a lot to look at.
The auction houses are coming in hot these next 24+ hours with three separate closings. As far as today’s closes go, Yatreda is set to close strong at Christie’s, and eyes on the Micro Fidenza at Sotheby’s, especially after one just traded in a ~750k USD equivalent deal to close last week.
