South Seaside Certain
This 12 months BitBasel will takeover the complete Sagamore Resort in Miami South Seaside for the complete week. The final present I used to be part of with BitBasel was nonetheless held within the Miami Bitcoin Middle in 2019, so returning to exhibit with these pioneers is treasured. I had additionally no thought simply how predictive my keynote again then was going to be about what will be proven now. It’s groundhog day with bananas and a repetition of Dante’s circles of hell, whereas making an attempt to assist humanity out of inverse mode. A worthy battle. Legends solely 🚀
As loopy as this journey has been for the reason that early days, needing to repeat some fundamentals time and time once more, whereas the ETH scene erodes additional, fortunately there are individuals who see what I do and assist the perspective to be part of all of it. A lot gratitude for Lecks and Scarlett for together with me within the 2024 present.
Again to the Future
Discover what’s on display throughout my lecture about all issues decentralised in 2019 at BitBasel
Again then, I used to be commenting quite a bit on how the world is on hearth, how we have to repair the financial system, the origin story of creativity, how AI will exchange most low-end attorneys, accountants, and so forth., inside 5 years, and the way the banana fuckery of the artwork world couldn’t probably sink any decrease. Man, was I fallacious—once more—on that one. It appears the artwork world has discovered new methods to hit all-time low within the Web3 house. Not less than then, SuperRare was nonetheless simply taking off with hope. My naive self nonetheless believed again then that blockchain was going to deliver extra transparency to the artwork world. LOL.
Anyhoo, each the divine contact and the banana have been featured in my slides throughout the presentation, and now they are going to be a part of the 2024 BitBasel as a mixed art work. The piece feedback on how the West has misplaced its method and explores what we will do to revitalize it. The reverse of the nice inverse is the avant-garde, and I maintain being right here for it. Ultimately, this will likely be seen by everybody and acknowledged as self-evident. In the intervening time, I gotta double up as an artist in addition to a tradition critic. It’s a bizarre place however somebody’s gotta do it.

Why are we not allowed to ask, in artwork, essentially the most fundamental of questions. Why can’t we be impressed by excellence, magnificence, concord and the spirit? Time after time, we simply revel on this mud like pigs with no future. Not less than the pigs derive some vitamins and skincare from their play, while we simply scale back ourselves to animals with no instincts.

Proof of Effort
T(r)opical from 2017 was the primary Miami particular work I ever made. The two/3 re-paint remains to be obtainable now priced at 1 BTC. I stored the thought I had that among the early works will maintain the thread to the 1 BTC worth, when purchased from me. After all, I wanted begin making others with out it, as about 10k stays the fixed “fuck you cash” that folks within the scene use for artwork. These piece are historic although, so if you need in on that motion, I solute you! I saved it right here as the very last thing, so it’s solely by way of proof of collector effort, that you just even get to them.
Additionally, perpetually respect for Moe Levin, the founding father of the North American Bitcoin Conference, for giving me my first ever spot to showcase my artwork in January 2018. Cool to have a fren additionally in Joel from the Unhealthy Crypto Podcast, who’s lurking there within the background 😂 The 1/50 signed print was given to Moe as a present.
At 100k, the 6×3 foot re-paints are nonetheless low-cost to what among the earliest holistic works will finally value, as soon as the mud settles a bit.
