24 HOURS OF ART: Tuesday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 10/14 - 10/15
GIGA RAOUL
“My guess is at some point soon, the 1/100 ‘GIGACHAD’ by Beeple from 2021 will be unobtainable at any price due to its enormous future cultural relevancy…” says Raoul Pal.
Hours later the final ‘GIGACHAD’ edition listed is collected for 19.99 ETH.
“Update - there are literally only 9 Beeple Spring Summer Collection left for sale. I think these all trade for over 100 ETH soon. But NFT's are dead... ;-)” says Raoul Pal.
Minutes later a Beeple edition wave begins:
‘THE 5000 DAY SELECTS’ /105: 12.2 ETH
‘BIOLOGICAL COLLECTIBLE’ /100: 10.42 ETH to HattersVault
‘BULL RUN’ /271: 8.34 & 7.6 ETH
‘JANUARY 1ST, 2021’ /100: 8 & 6.5 ETH
On the day that totals 7 sales and 73.05 ETH across the Beeple edition ecosystem and infinite aura points for Raoul.
Wubbushi’s Rapture
‘The Rapture’ by Wubbushi with BrainDrops swiftly mints out 1/1/300 for 15 ETH total (0.05 ETH each).
The collection’s secondary market sees 12 ETH in volume with current list at 0.186 ETH.
Via Wubbushi (interview with AI Collection):
“[The Rapture] captures the moment we realize that the systems of meaning we’ve built—whether they are spiritual, social, or even personal—are crumbling in the face of AI’s rise. The question becomes: what do we hold onto, and how do we redefine ourselves when those structures collapse?”
Via Justin Trimble (BrainDrops Co-founder):
“Few things bring me more joy than seeing people excited about art…
It’s been a beautiful and chaotic day, which feels very appropriate.”

Closing Thoughts
The week accelerates.
Apart from the clear headlines, it’s nice to see an under-the-radar monster Holly Herndon 1/1 sale to Cyborg DAO. Let’s see if they add context today.
There is plenty of meat to the line items today, and things feel far spicier across art compared to just yesterday. So it goes.
