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.

An artist's series is concerned with creative abundance. It's necessary in order to advance an idea and discover where they're heading next. The Door is an on-going investigation that's already evolved and spawned into other works and ideas. It has legs and is running! (4/7)
I worked full-time, daily for 7 years on my custom software. This upfront investment of time allows me to now rapidly investigate conceptual and design oriented curiosities on the daily. As time & other pursuits allow, The Door is presently part of my daily practice. (5/7)
For me, it's essential that The Door has had 4 months to grow and mature - safe proofing it's early evolution and paths from becoming effected by a market more than the artist's creative direction. (6/7)

HODLing #1! I've set low reserves on rest to respect the market. I'll likely be minting more often than you've observed from me in the past. DYOR, you'll grin. I look forward to welcoming old & new collectors into what's been my daily practice and all it will evolve into!🙏(7/7)

Does anyone else get tingly talking about #NFT metadata? I'm doing a couple new things on my NFT that is part of #NativelyDigital, that I'd like to briefly explain. (1/9)
collect.mattkane.com/minted-works/m… #cryptoart
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)

(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:

(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.

I'll be breaking down the NFT #cryptoart being auctioned on @Sothebys this next week. @nameless_nft helped me with a custom contract solution for my specific needs. This detail of the closest haystack is archived as part of the NFT on both IPFS & Arweave. #NativelyDigital (1/3)
And this detail of the previous detail is also archived on both IPFS and Arweave. It just hits different...👀 #cryptoart #nativelydigital (2/3)
And why don't we get a little closer? It's important that all these experiences are archived in order for the future to understand my NFTs are not singular JPEGs or GIFs. The artwork I tokenize is a multitude of expanding experiences. ♾ (3/3) #cryptoart #nativelydigital

Please join me in visiting the @cryptovoxels installation I've made in order to bring a metaverse experience to my #cryptoart work being shown with #NativelyDigital at @Sothebys. cryptovoxels.com/play?coords=W@…
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.

1.After gifting some @VolatilityArt NFTs, I began selling VLY tokens last week, starting at 0.21 ETH. Why so low? This project is an artwork centered on value and volatility. The artist applies their own values as a measure of value. Price becomes a medium of artistic expression.
2. Bitcoin required a market to be built from zero. So did #cryptoart and #nfts. I began with gifts, then asked some collectors who already participated in building my NFT market to come join this project & do the same. This mirrors #BTC & cryptoart market building.🧡📈
3. I value my early collectors who also reached out with relational human interactions. I value art collectors who care to learn about an artist, their work, and collect because Art. I value #connection, not just transaction. So let's apply #values to an artwork about value.🤝
