I present you "Rothko on Pennies", an artwork that is stored on balances of 962 Ethereum wallets! This weird experiment is my counter-approach to Compressionism. Instead of finding the most efficient method, just used a novel way that I think is fun! Let me explain more 👇
This is one of the craziest ideas I've ever seen. He converted a drawing of a bird into a spectrogram (PNG -> Soundwave) then played it to a Starling who sung it back reproducing the PNG. Using the birds brain as a hard drive with 2mbps read write speed. youtube.com/watch?si=HMtVd…
Crypto art began with code. Before marketplaces, there were contracts, bytes, creative intent and the protocol. CryptoPunks launched a movement: 10,000 permissionless art pieces that could be owned, transferred, and exchanged anywhere, under one single smart contract. All you…
Theyre literally calling themselves instagram for web3. Which is fine. But theyre no longer interested in providing tools for people to push the boundaries of expression through Ethereum
this is such a great writing! not just because it includes Rothko on Pennies and improved my vocabulary vastly :kek:, it actually summarizes the state of things so brilliantly. highly recommended.

that is what I'm talking about. i don't see protocol artists, decentralized organizations, autonomous world builders, cryptography experts, zk/fhe researches in this list. this is web2. you don't need a decentralized ledger for any of this content.
Today on @zora: + pro fortnite gamer + ai egirl with millions of views on tiktok + bitcoin maxi + ig girlies + hip hop artists + eth ogs + crypto podcasts + f1 photographers + 3d artists + much much more. All in the same app. This is a new era for crypto.

a friendly reminder: the canvas of Rothko on Pennies is still wide open! you can always "force-feed" some pennies into the wallets—either artistically or chaotically.
- Fuckyea by @iRyanBell - Screensaver by @Hanrgb - SNOW CRASH 1/1 by @thecryptobushi - KnownDestination by @0xdiid - Rothko on Pennies by @YigitDuman These 1/1 masterpieces of fully on-chain artistic expression are now finally united. Still a few more I’m aiming for, though.
It was quite emotional and hard for me to say goodbye to this historical piece by @YigitDuman But when i got DM by @punk3606 and the way he collects on-chain art, the way he approach made me smile and honor this piece to its new home. Rothko on Pennies sold for 2.69 ETH…
Thrilled to welcome another on-chain masterpiece to my collection: 'Rothko on Pennies' by @YigitDuman. Grateful to @serc1n for entrusting me with the first secondary sale of this remarkable piece.

i love crypto because it makes me post this meme so frequently
gud sunday! last tests are done. after 9 months and many unfinished projects later, i have finally something that I'm satisfied with! a new ephemera piece coming soon!
alpha: Rarible Testnets is still a thing 👀 since OnChainChecker handles all metadata stuff, it's not that important but it's good to have a marketplace that still supports testnets.
you know gas is dirt cheap when you don't care about deployment gas anymore. (runtime gas still bad, optimize your contracts ffs!)
i think i figured this out!
can you sell an NFT with compute power instead of money?
