24 HOURS OF ART: Wednesday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 10/22 - 10/23
ThankYouX Visual Poetry
‘There Is More To This’ by ThankYouX is collected by Blondie23LMD for 39 ETH ($102,231).
The full 1/1 artwork is a 3 minute and 40 second loop.
Via ThankYouX:
“I wanted someone to live with this artwork on their wall like a painting would.
It’s a slow moving visual poem that started as a few paintings and was brought to life by movement and sound. Telling a story of something else waiting for you if you keep going… there is always more to this.
I am excited that it went into Blondie’s collection because she has been so supportive of the arts. And the fact that she runs WhiteWalls makes perfect sense for this piece now to live on her wall at home.”
Happy Birthday Botto!
It is a milestone 3rd birthday for decentralized, autonomous artist Botto.

24 Hours of Art:
Yesterday, we announced a new partnership with Artacle!
In practice, this means we’ll be looking at ways to leverage their feature set (the ‘Bloomberg’ of digital art) to do occasional, deeper breakouts and case studies. Win-win-win.
