(1/10) "Meules after Claude Monet" is a multitude of expanding experiences.♾ Let's break down what is actually archived as part of the #NFT being auctioned as part of #NativelyDigital at @Sothebys. My NFT Portal website is where to 👀 for supreme quality:
collect.mattkane.com/minted-works/m…
(2/10) @nameless_nft created a custom contract solution for me. I explained that I don't tokenize a singular JPEG or GIF. I tokenize artwork. A singular artwork might require an archive of files that aids a viewer's experience, help provide context, include a press kit, etc.
(3/10) @nameless_nft provided the solution of creating archives for relevant files on both Arweave & IPFS. These are referenced in the metadata. While the Arweave link is a JSON format, IPFS also has a human readable.
IPFS: ipfs.io/ipfs/QmVnu7JQV…
Arweave:arweave.net/tx/I3xtFX1hMe3…
(4/10) The NFT utilizes both Arweave and IPFS for fail-safe durability. This brings higher #archival qualities to NFT artwork. In my physical artwork, for example, I inspect #lightfast ratings of pigments I use and that paper is acid-free. I see these matters similarly.
(5/10) 34 PNG layers are archived as part of the #NFT. These are the same files used in my @cryptovoxels installation. 50 years from now, tech will allow viewers to experience this artwork in unimaginable ways. So let's preserve these assets! 🙏 cryptovoxels.com/play?coords=W@…
(6/10) The assets shown on the @Sothebys #NativelyDigital auction lot page are also archived. This includes the interview video, the 3D layer visualization, the blueprint wireframe images, even the GIF of me keying animations on my MIDI controller. sothebys.com/en/buy/auction…
(7/10) I enjoy that NFTs unlock assets, so I provide the gigapixel image as an unlockable individual download exclusive to the NFT collector. Also an 8K version of the animated painting is unlockable. The public can always enjoy zooming the artwork from my NFT Portal website. 💓
(8/10) In addition to two different formats of the 4K animated painting video, 8 detail videos are also provided in order to better experience and understand my seamlessly looping work. collect.mattkane.com/minted-works/m…
(9/10) If additional files help provide context & aid experiencing an artwork today or even just to further represent the artwork tokenized- it's our duty as members of this foundational layer of this tech to do our due diligence that the future has access to these same assets.
(10/10) I'm excited for future #NFT #SmartContract standards to consider treating artworks as asset packages with API labels for easy consumption. I believe this is what today & tomorrow's artists & art lovers need. Mass adoption is cool, but let's keep building & innovating.🙏

Let's talk about the absurdist performance art of David Henry Nobody Jr. And why I've collected both these pieces by the same artist, created nearly 25 years apart. It's about art. It's about absurdity. It's about time. 🧵👇 Image
Image
We know Nobody's work best by his absurdist Resemblagè performances. Mirroring the unification of humans & technology, sculptures grow out from the artist's body like mutated appendages. In these pieces, the artist endures the mindless automation of his own creations, suffering with a wink and a grin.
In Nobody's work, we see our own struggle to live through the challenge of each day in modern life. Survive long enough to escape one predicament... then, on to the next torture. 🍳➡️🔥

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
First, after clicking "Edit Video," find "Subtitles" in the left-hand column. Click it! 2/12
If you haven't added subtitles before, you might be asked to set the default language first. 3/12

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.

🌑🌒🌓🌖🌕🌔🌗🌘🌑#gazers
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)
FACTS
These are the first NFTs on @SuperRare with attributes/traits. 🙏 Click "View Details."
There are 56 Doors to date.
I will mint more Doors.
I will create more Doors.
Not all Doors I create will be minted.
I've never minted an edition.
I've only ever minted the best.
