After listening to the community and reading some of the words of @hWonderofWorld here is what i think @puzlworld represents for internet people.

1. Think of us as letters of an alphabet. Alone we represent an ancient symbol that ties us to a memory.
2. Together we make words
3. these words construct action. and feelings. sense and direction. working together we build new meaning.
4. but life isn’t that easy. we really are faced with a choice about this spelling and uniting.
5. We can let others spell us.
6. We can take the method in our own hands.
7. @puzlworld exists as an interactive metaphor for this autonomous learning and construction.

It’s cool to think that we are surrounded by a world that is constructed. Our perception is also constructed.

Puzzling is like riffing in jazz.

I find it really interesting that #bayc holders are ambitiously trying to prove @ryder_ripps wrong so that they can regain some feeling of esteem that comes from following someone blindly and not having to question their authority.
What is going on here? anyone? #rrbayc
The modus operandi here seems to be:

1. You are making me look at this art, and I don't want to, because there is nothing there to analyse
2. Look what @ryder_ripps did, and let me analyse it (wrongly) by saying Ryder is just being blatantly racist.
3. Ryder should stop arting.
4. When u art, you force people to question what they are looking at, and that feels uncomfortable.
5. See, real racism is uncomfortable, why should @ryder_ripps be allowed to do it, why can't I love my monkey picture and believe it's not racist?

Ryder's completed a master move

As I walked up a tremendously steep hill to my next meeting, the weight of the art history book in my backpack started to feel heavy. I was thinking of Marines hiking through the swamps at Camp Pendelton.

I was thinking of when cultures turn to power figures to explain imagery.
I have sat in on a couple of conversations in the #rrbayc spaces, and there seems to be two camps.

One camp wants to look under the surface of art.
the other sees the surface and accuses it of either empty meaning, or sinister undertones.
This side thinks an artist is evil.
For some of you, it doesn't take much self-reflection to consider why thinking @ryder_ripps or anyone making art being evil is a scary thought. But I do want to break it down in simplistic terms, so that the conversation can continue. It shld not stop. It's dangerous to stop it.

I was thrilled to be asked to contribute a rare 1/1 NFT design for the upcoming @MFF_ETH mint.

I agreed to do it to test my reception as a digital artist. I am self-taught. I have only just begun a digital practice with any kind of concerted method to it.
That being the case, I feel that I am described as important or great in the most recent tweets by @MFF_ETH founding designer @DNS_ERR and I just want to clarify:

I have no design or illustration experience. I manipulated hex codes in photos. I play with filter tools.
There are amazing artists out there. I write about them in a kind of notebook that is a journal for my upcoming book about conceptual art and the blockchain, called "Hidden Renaissance."

Why I am looking forward to the next few months of #NFT space:

1. Greater conversations will begin to happen about conceptual art

2. More people will be willing to test ideas for NFTs outside of trading monkey pics

3. Full wash out of over-influenced ape holders
People have been guided down the wrong path by poor UI and UX at places like @opensea, which has had an outsized effect on what people are willing to explore or investigate when it comes to art, finance and technology

NFTs have been presented to us as a click and buy technology
they've been used to support massive debt borrowing with people using their NFTs as collateral while they chase magnitudinal returns on cryptocurrency.

They've been conned into believing they have IP rights, when they don't. That's a separate process that an NFT does NOT GIVE u.

A thread about my commission-based digital art / storytelling.

I made this #NFT for @hWonderofWorld -- it is one image from a series of images that form part of a biography project that illuminates the origin story of H 8 -- HWonder, his creator moniker. Image
Up until this point, I've created NFTs for people in the #web3 ecosystem that I considered to be friends.

It was my purpose to do so, as I taught myself how to manipulate imagery and create clip art collage and cc0 assembly images that tell a story about that personality.
I'm now expanding my digital practice to new clients, and taking commissions. I sell the images for .08 ETH and they will be found on Foundation here: foundation.app/collection/dao…

What follows is an explanation of my process and what I have learned. image: @EmpathAcrobat Image
