As I emerge from 3 weeks in a RV rummaging around Hokkaido I wanted to highlight some of my art available w words on each (:
Starting w my SuperRare genesis works created in Japan last year we have _BLURREDLEYES, something that took months of coordination, planning, + risk of arrest, as I was hanging out the side of a train pointing a camera at the conductor. TBH I was more scared of serious injury as a couple inches too far & I could smack my hand or head on a pole, gate, or wall as we picked up speed. An image indicative of being present in the moment + avoiding future regret for not having paid attention. A monumental step in my art career having work on this platform in association w Sloika / Montage that I’m super appreciative for.
https://superrare.com/0xa077d3016c19a4d7c971f193a372f9f0d65f5d3e/_blurredleyes-26
Next, _GLOWTING, a combination of multiple elements that make up my life + what I experience here in the NFT space that holds a fascination w cyberpunk. Re-visiting a special place for amazing snow/snowboarding while being able to utilize such a location for creation is very cherished. Including my good friend @lens/lens/alimo makes it even better while on an insane snowboard trip (that we just 10-upped this year somehow). An image indicative of the curiosity from below looking up at those protected by privilege above that we face as digital artists here daily wondering if we’ll ever get our shot or if success is truly predetermined.
https://superrare.com/0xa077d3016c19a4d7c971f193a372f9f0d65f5d3e/_glowting-25
Now on to Foundation/Manifold minted works beginning w _TRANSLACID. A similar theme as above w regards to seeing clearly in fleeting moments. Environmental awareness during travel is often hindered by device addiction. Beautiful, multi-layered scenes may be right in front of you, perhaps only w a small step to the right or left while waiting for a train to pass, but only if your head is up. At a station that was my frequent pass-through last year which happens to be above ground + partially outside creating a varied temperature combination of natural flat light + fluorescent glow on most days or sun beams/reflections with shadows on others.

Other FDN pieces include _PRANSELADAMS, a true moment of chance that can never be recreated again in this lifetime or the next, snapped in the streets of NYC, I was meaning to frame an image of these pencil towers sprouting up all over the city but as I hit the shutter a bird, mid-flight, mid-GLIDE centers itself perfectly? Unreal, right? There’s also _ROWEDMAP, a look into the lives of those offline going about their day without a care in the world of the things most of us drown in angst of, created on the Caribbean Sea in Guatemala as we embarked on a torrential downpour of a journey up the Rio Dulce for 2.5 hours headed inland to explore the Mayan ruins of Tikal. I then turned 30 years old w my feet dangling off an scient pyramid, to the second (: (pictured last)

Last but not least, part of my first solo exhibition, PHOTOGRAPHYSBORING, held at FICE Gallery in SLC, Utah + on Nifty Gateway w associated digital elements. A collection challenging the capture of movement in stillness + stillness in movement. I’m bored of most things in “photography” from who represents it to stereotypes about us to the quality of work being produced, the rules, etc. so I chose to follow none. I wanted to paint digitally w the tool I choose to frequently use. Scenes that could never be exactly replicated. Pixel stroked in the rail arteries of Tokyo across 3 months last winter. Every 1/1 comes w a 48x32” canvas, or every canvas comes w a NFT, however you wish to look at it - there is a digital certificate of ownership for physical work or vice versa. I don’t wish to exclude interested parties from my art distribution but this tends to be an issue today with web2 goers still not comprehending the world we live in here.

If you’ve made it this far I thank you for taking the time out of your day to read about what I do 🙏hopefully my work stimulates your brain or challenges you to put the phone away + observe your surroundings so you too may be blessed w scenes you otherwise would miss! Appreciate everyone’s support always 🤍
Shouts out to @lens/orbapp on @lens for allowing creators to get creative w how we release work, news, collectibles etc. Hodlers of any of the above will receive multiple 5GEEZUS pieces in addition to tiering via my @lens/p00ls token, FUCKURJPEG, which will be redeemable IN APP to collect BTS moments, sketches, things that go into the creation of the final product. Only possible w all the hard workers of web3 systems 🙏
- Decentralized is chaotic but chaos breads creativity and innovation.
@@lens/lindao is right all of us here dont belong in a centralized world
- How is everyone walking around acting like leap year day is just a regular day?
How can this not be a holiday? Why are we not all going wild?
What’s the point of any of this if we’re not collectively as a species doing something ridiculous on a day like this?
- Friend trying to set up a @lens/lens handle by paying w card, but is getting an endless spooling wheel waiting for the handle to mint.
Card has been charged (twice). Anyone else have experience with this? Should she just wait it out?
- Are there any index tokens of premier ETH beta? A mix of something like: UNI, AAVE, LDO, OP, ARB?
- Who are the best data analysis people to follow in crypto?
@lens/rickydata and who else?
- Not an error. But it is what it says. Coming soon :) next 2-3 weeks max!
- I keep getting “coming soon!” Whenever I try to mint something on @lens/orbapp .
I am able to use the collect feature through other apps tho, at least @lens/hey .
Anyone else have this error?
- Can all users create clubs? Would love to start an NYC club for anyone else here in the city to join.
- Wow. Now that is a saucy new UX from @orbapp. Love it, great work!
- We need a serious gaming community on Lens.
- Good Morning Beautiful Friends 🫶❤️🫶
- 2023 was tenacious
2024 will be ______

- Time to revisit Bittensor | Block Bytes
#crypto #blockchain #bittensor
Decentralized AI project Bittensor saw a massive run in November.
In this video I talk about the reasons behind the run and what is happening in the project since I last covered it.
Do watch part 1 to understand the project before watching this video.

- Lens frens we’re opening up another round of invites for a couple more people => @lens/blitzapp specifically for our frens in the garden 🌱
If you want to help us test and have some fun with your friends on Lens comment here and I’ll pick a couple of people ahead of tomorrows announcement and send you a dm. ✌️

- That's why I'm learning it right now! Basically, ZK is the most advanced in terms of complexity and new horizons for all of humanity, but I'd also like to see Social Tech (because I think it still hasn't gotten much attention) and Network States (but that idea is probably not for this bullrun).
- I was a really active photographer on Instagram back when it was still mainly focused on photos. I really miss it.
I’m thinking about launching a photo NFT collection and being more active again.
Artists & collectors - what are your fav places to post and buy NFTs? I’m thinking Zora right now but I would love to hear about others.
- Everyone is so excited about 2024, and obviously the markets are heating up again… but tbh I’m not sure we’ve really made enough advances as an industry to deserve it.
I want crypto to take off, but I’m fearful another premature bull market where people continue to get rugged, hacked, and scammed is going to do more harm than good.
What do you guys think? Do we have enough new use cases this time around? Enough legit value?
- 📣 hey frens, this is a @lens/lensprotocol 1st announcement (Twitter doesn’t know yet 🤫)
After a summer exploring post-quantum cryptography, MPC, and decentralized tech beyond blockchains I’m stoked to re-enter the arena to lead devrel at Nillion Network. 🎉
Nillion isn’t a blockchain. Rather than ordering and validating transactions, Nillion is building a decentralized network of nodes that collaborate to compute on secret data.
The Nillion network keeps data private by masking it, then distributing these masked inputs across nodes. Nodes can process and compute on data without needing to recombine masks or communicate with other nodes.
The Nillion protocol is an innovation on MPC (Multi Party Computation). The classic MPC example is the “millionaire’s problem” where a group decides the richest friend should pay for lunch. The group needs to figure out who has to pay the bill while keeping each of their individual net worths (the inputs) private.
Similarly, Nillion is useful anywhere you want to securely store and/or compute on high value data. You can run algorithms on “invisible data” or private datasets without needing to see the underlying data. For example
- Truly private, quantum secure messaging apps
- AI/ML training on sensitive health data
- Income tax calculation across accounts
The Nillion team has been heads down researching and building for the last 2 years. I’m stoked to get to bring this tech to devs. What’s next? Stay tuned for docs, developer community, testnet, and beyond. 🚀
- Has anyone noticed the difference with the new Lens V2 update? I haven’t noticed any difference, please educate me 🙏
- It you could have a dinner with 3-5 people from any point in history, who are you choosing and why?
- Somewhere deep in Brooklyn. Hope everyone had a good weekend!
- Good Night Beautiful Friends 🎉✌️🎉
- Lens V2 launching tomorrow, which is a huge upgrade in capabilities and capacity over V1!
The biggest change IMO: Smart Posts. You can now add arbitrary “open actions” to publications, which are basically remote calls made to smart contracts on any EVM chain. Collecting is an example of an Open Action in V2. You can imagine things like minting on Zora or OpenSea directly from within a Lens post.
Also no more whitelisting needed for third party modules as V2 is open. And with Profile Manager you can allow any address to take action on your part, making using cold wallets possible.
Lens was already the most powerful social protocol in web3 and V2 takes it up another level.
- Let good things happen now...
- Honestly cannot believe weed had this glow up after I don’t want it anymore. So unfair.
- Hear me out.
$LENS token. Require anyone sending DMs to non mutual to pay the receiver of the message, 5% fee to the platform.
Users can set their DM price or it can be keys similar to friend tech.
@stani.lens @nader.lens thoughts? anything like this in the cards?
- What’s everyone up to today? I’m out here grinding. It’s awful.
- Rate the vibe 1-10
- Who is working on On Chain reputation solutions?
- Hey anon, hey!
Hey @lensprotocol family! We are excited to announce our brand new home, https://hey.xyz!
**Why the change?**
Because we wanted to re-introduce ourselves as the one-stop shop for all things Lens. we will be continuing to showcase the latest features from the protocol while listening to our community for what they want to see next.
We will be exploring communities, open actions, and whole new ways you, your NFTs, and the DAOs you’re a part of can benefit from web3 social powered by Lens. This is just the beginning, so thanks for stopping by, and saying hey!

- My dating hot take:
The people who tick the boxes on whatever type of list you believe you have are traps.
The best type of love is the one you can't deny despite the person not being the best match on paper.
The best matches, the ones you truly are compatible with and can grow to love, will rarely ever tick those boxes. Sometimes, none of those boxes.
Challenge yourself to get rid of the criteria for what you think you need. Just follow the one big tick. The ticker inside your chest. Regardless of how it looks on paper.
