Closing Thoughts
You can feel narratives gaining steam (or wind) as September kicks off. Refik Anadol is at the forefront of this day, not only with WoY but also with Machine Hallucinations seeing several sales across three collections.
Two of my personal favorite XCOPYs sold on the day. Speaking of narratives, I view Rabbles and ALGO BRO as having two of the most secure in the artist’s ecosystem. Granted the story of Rabbles will have to be stewarded in light of AsyncArt shuttering, but there are layers to that onion with each containing 7 unique states and a mask. And ALGO BRO is his first fully onchain work.
In a fun twist, it is XCOPY topping the 1/1 chart as a collector and acquiring a sharp NiftyMonki on secondary.
