Begin on the ground floor: the exterior walls are lined by the master copy #digitalart I created after studying #Monet in early 2019. Across the hallway, they gaze into their inspirational counterparts, the original Monet paintings housed at @artinstitutechi.
Then, we travel up the staircase & enter into The Great Hall of Layers. Step inside the #dimensionalpainting of "Meules after Claude #Monet" for a truly unique experience. Imagine with me how this VR experience will scale seamlessly into the future along with the growth of tech.
Have a look around on the second floor: an experiment in bringing the catalogue note from the @Sothebys lot page into a full #metaverse experience. 👀 Could something like this be how we become accustomed to viewing auction lots in the future?
Finally, climb the glass staircase for a one of a kind view from above. And step down into the #ShareTheLightPopUp Roof Exhibition, where I have on display 64 talented artists from my permanent #NFT & #cryptoart collection. Only wish I had more space 🙏🤍
Great thanks to all 64 artists for allowing me to collect their work the last 2 years and now to share it on this special occasion. 🙏 Let's have an artist reception in @cryptovoxels this Thursday beginning at 12PM EST. 🥳
NOTKAMOTO: A tribute to a masterpiece and symbol for decentralization, patronage, and belief in creating healthier systems for living artists to thrive in. #cryptoart
Please watch this introduction to my artwork and reflect:
69 patronage editions will shortly become available on a dispenser for 1 BTC each. These will not be reduced unless to 🎁. #uponlyxchain.io/asset/NOTKAMOTO
I know this is FAKERARES. But I'm doing something special for the REAL ones. To become eligible for a NOTKAMOTO:
Hi video content creators in #cryptoart and #nfts. In this global movement, adding accessibility is very important & also often easily accomplished, but requires a couple extra steps from us. Here's a quick how-to 🧵 for adding subtitles and translated captions to @YouTube...1/12
Today, February 12, all Gazers with the "First Stolen Paintings" origin moon trait celebrate 20 years and 246 New Moons passing since the moon under which I had 3 paintings stolen from my studio shortly before what was to be my first solo show. #cryptoart 🧵...
It was a most sickening, heart sinking feeling to step into the studio & discover these centerpiece works to my show, each 36" x 48", were missing. I made a police report and hung up fliers but the paintings would remain stolen. Check out my DANK poster and $100 reward! I was 21.
I only had a short time before my one person show was to happen. Without these works, I couldn't proceed. I put on my curator's hat and changed my solo show into a group show, inviting 12 other student artists to show a work. I learned how much joy that elevating others could be.
GM! Please let me introduce you to my latest coding achievement and on-chain #cryptoart work. "Gazers" will begin its reveal on Monday, December 6th at 12pm CT on @ArtBlocks. (1/8)

Gazers is a collection of generative moon phase calendar NFTs seeking to create community around our love of color theory, generative art, astronomy, and crypto.(2/8)
Every lunar cycle lasts ~29.53 days. Each New Moon, a new moon design is generated from your NFT. Your transaction hash creates color theory and design rules that set forth every moon that will be created into infinity. (3/8)
I'm SO grateful to have worked with @SuperRare in launching the new #Series feature. The Door couldn't have found a more appropriate beginning! A great way to learn more about #TheDoor is with this video: vimeo.com/632154118 (1/7)
For an artist, a series is often about the evolution of ideas - the discovery and experimentation that takes place while investigating conceptual or visual curiosities. Since June, The Door marked my return to an almost undivided focus on my daily artistic practice.(2/7)

As an artist who works with code, it's important to reference at least some software and libraries that I use. Personally, I don't want to get carried away into processor speeds, but some high level context of my development environment is in order. Let's use metadata! (2/9)
@intellijidea is my preferred IDE for @Java development. I utilize an older version of @ProcessingOrg with the help of @lager_p's G4P GUI tools. Acknowledgement in the metadata of an #NFT feels appropriate for a whole host of circumstances any artist runs into. (3/9)
