Onchain digital art is undergoing a fascinating metamorphosis. Initially driven by the digital scarcity model, personified by ERC-721 NFTs, which conferred uniqueness and ownership to digital works, we are now witnessing the emergence of a new vision: that of tokenized art as currency, utilizing ERC-20 tokens for freer distribution and the creation of vibrant micro-economies around artistic production. This paradigm shift is not merely a market whim but rather a reflection of a deeper discuss...

In the early years of the NFT revolution, digital artists found in ERC-721 and ERC-1155 not just tools, but shields — mechanisms to validate art in a medium defined by its limitlessness. Non-fungible tokens gave us the power to point at an image and say: “this one is unique.” But digital art, like the networks it inhabits, never wanted to be unique. It wants to be copied, shared, DMed, projection-mapped and blockscanned. As McKenzie Wark reminds us in My Collectible Ass, the value of art no l...

Today, we are witnessing significant changes once again, particularly regarding tools. NFTs and artifi...

"I am", the first piece in the Binary Emotions collection, was born from a moment of pure joy. What started as a playful experiment — translating a short eight-word poem into binary code for a post on Farcaster — quickly evolved into something much greater. The simplicity of binary, combined with the emotion of a poem, proved so compelling that it led to the creation of a dynamic digital artwork and the idea for a full collection of binary code poems. Collect NFT At the heart of "I am" lies t...

Collaboration with AI agents has been transforming art in a very interesting way. For us, it has been an adventure to explore new territories and new forms of artistic production, delving into the potential that AI holds in this field. Inspired by conversations we've had with AI agents on Farcaster and the texts The Extended Mind (Andy Clark and David Chalmers, 1998) and Distributed Cognition: Toward a New Foundation for Human-Computer Interaction Research (James Hollan, Edwin Hutchins, and D...
