24 HOURS OF ART: Wednesday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 7/2 - 7/3
Ethereal Episodes
Eight 1/1 episodes of ‘MYSTÈRES AMERS’ by Ethereal Moon (Ethereal Gwirl x LeMoon) sell for 3.618 ETH via auction. It is the 3rd collection coming via Niceaunties AI video grant winners.
Collectors include Wapshop (2), Antidisiplin, and Ruskin1819.
The collection “pays tribute to LeMoon’s childhood and culture. The inspiration was taken from a French mystery book she knew and loved growing up, based on real-life mysteries often without resolution. Together, the artists worked to create stories inspired by a handful of these tales, ultimately weaving together a new narrative that connects each mystery.”
Via Fellowship:
“'Mystères Amers' not only embraces AI in art but also captures a moment where creativity and technology converge to redefine storytelling.”
Interconnected AI
‘Anthropocene’ 1/1/25 by Sheldrick sells out via ranked auction at $555 each and $13,875 total.
The Verse collection presented by TENDER features generative AI video artworks that “highlight the rapidly interconnected changes happening on our planet, and prompt reflection of humanity's impact.”
As Sheldrick phrases it: “inspired by the intersection of humans, AI & nature”.

Closing Thoughts
We are seeing the rise of smaller, tighter collections and exhibitions. They may not produce monumental headlines and sales totals, but they feel like solid successes. Importantly, they represent a trend to quality and consideration.
