When i work in studio on my BioGenArt pieces i often scan inspiration through music. This track drives me in altered states of consciousness... it helps me to disconnect from the so-called reel, to open creativity. We are all plugged on different frequencies… but it might initiate some experiences for you too :) This tune had no name so far, i guess baptizing it {Through the lens} makes sense for both my personal use of it & for my first steps with you on Lens. Hope u’ll enjoy. 1 matic to collect, only open for 24 hours. 25% mirror referral.

It feels good to share a post about a user-governed decentralised social network on Lens - a prime example of such a network powered by web3! In our latest piece, Joel and I explore how and why advertisement revenues are opium for social graphs & the alternatives a Web3 native social product could offer its users. https://www.decentralised.co/p/a-new-internet Dive in!
@stani.lens knows the secret to making the internet a fairer place: ⛓️ Blockchain. One of web'3 most important entrepreneurs, the creator of @lensprotocol and @aaveaave.lens speaks to @leosn.lens on the Culture3 podcast about why decentralised finance and social media can change the world. 🎧 Tune in below 👇 https://open.spotify.com/episode/7l61bRWzBr0fBu3XR4GmdA
Join our June London Writer Social on the 27th with special host @mengyao, the architect behind t2! Come socialize with fellow writers, showcase your projects, and spark inspiration on this midsummer eve over a cold beverage🎐🎐🎐 RSVP http://meetup.com/london-wordsmith/events/293587651 @writers.lens
A couple of weeks ago, we had the pleasure of discussing the future of decentralised publishing with writers and innovators in the industry @clinamenic @sammi @mengyao and Ariella Studies. One of the main highlights from the discussion is that @clinamenic suggested that t2 and @lensprotocol can improve content discoverability without compromising creators' data sovereignty. 1+1>2 is true in web3.🫡
Some stay dry and others feel the decentralized content ecosystem
This is the full performance of "Neybors" from Heno. at Week 2 of Coachella (2023).

It's been a year of firsts for me, but one particular highlight was launching my first NFT - TOY CARS; the first in an archival journey of my last ten-years as an Editor + Journalist ✨️ With the rise of #AI it's important not to forget the art of photography 📷 https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0x54c4cb5216ad102f798e1660790d18a9588d3a2e/1 #art #photography #nft

An odisea or odyssey in English, is a long intellectual or spiritual quest. Our quest is one that is defined by leveraging decentralised and distributed systems to build better coordination substrates that unlock unbound human and environmental flourishing, towards infinite gardens. Odisea is a 10-part research and podcast series where we will be exploring crypto’s opportunity to deliver more infinite, equitable and self-sovereign futures. Together on this journey, we will be speaking and learning from some of the pioneers in the ecosystem - ranging from those building at the forefront of decentralised social to onboard the masses, decentralised finance to remove unnecessary rent-seeking intermediaries, wallets looking to build more seamless user experiences, individuals building the frontier of network states, and many other amazing guests!

GOODBYE 20s Stepping into my thirties, I find myself at the beach's edge, perhaps an apt metaphor for the turbulent past and hopefully a tranquil future? known and unknown? In the balance of land's stability and sea's fluidity, I guess I seek equilibrium. This decade is not about dodging storms, but learning to ride the waves 🤞🏽 GN Free Collect 29 Editions

GM. + Happy Tuesday. Tuesday has no feel. Monday has a feel. Friday has a feel. Sunday has a feel. This week, Biden rejects a deal to protect crypto traders. **Coinbase** takes another step outside the US. An AI scandal exposes lazy journalism. Let’s jump in. **Today’s Specials:** Coinbase Looks Outside U.S. for Expansion 🌎 Biden Rejects Debt Deal Protecting Crypto Traders 🔧 AI Can Weaponize Modern Medicine Now 🤦 An AI-Generated Pic Briefly Crashed the Market 📉 Coinbase officially rolled out its zero-fee subscription service, Coinbase One, past beta this week. The launch includes the United Kingdom, Germany, and Ireland, as Coinbase aims to extend its international reach. **Is this a turning point for Coinbase in the US?** Every major corporation eventually leaves its home country to grow. But the expansion into multiple countries, coupled with CEO Armstrong's statements, signifies a potential shift for Coinbase in the US market, especially with the EU making strides in regulation. **TLDR**; Coinbase is slowly backing out of the US like a Homer Simpson hedge meme.

It's interesting speaking to people who tell me they still don't understand "digital art". In my view, art mirrors the era we live in. Now that we are clearly in the digital age, it makes total sense to me that art and our canvas would evolve to be digitally native!

**Lady with an Ermine** A reinterpretation of the work "Lady with an Ermine" in which the ermine becomes part of the lady's clothing and the lady takes a back seat, a reference to the mask and how in the modern digital age the form is confused with the substance at points where the virtual becomes more real than the real itself. The design of the clothing is inspired by the futurism of Alexander Mcqueen and Zaha Hadid. A future where the organic and the synthetic become undifferentiated, a parallel world where objects can also be life. The aesthetics of the "at once" also has always been part of photography and now also of the art that is made with AI, think of the tension between the unfinished and the irreversible that is characteristic of the photograficity, the same happens with the images that are generated with AI, this means that these images also possess photograficity especially when they go through a process of development as is the case. To take this "at once" a little further I wanted to bring up paradoxes that express the tension between the organic and the inorganic, the living and the inanimate, the vital and the banal, the mask and the self... *part of the @artfromfuture "Art Hack" exhibit on* @molens.lens** *Curated by @arminhoori* & @jessyjeanne.lens ***10 wmatic / limited edition of 10***

Given the current macro context I don't know if I prefer holding Fiat or $PEPE tbh..
@messari.lens 's recent report, User Behavior and Engagement on Lens (https://messari.io/report/user-behavior-and-engagement-on-lens), has some important insights for @creators.lens **1. Creator monetization is an opportunity for all Lens users, for wallets large and small** *"The direct-to-consumer monetization feature on Lens lowers the barrier to entry for creators to generate revenue. Creators who have been disadvantaged by extinguished royalty payments can now turn to decentralized social media as a potential source of income.* *Furthermore, there is no measurable correlation between the wallet value and a user’s influence on the Lens platform suggesting that net worth is not a prerequisite for success. The level playing field opens up opportunities for creators from diverse backgrounds to earn revenue without any significant upfront investment."* **2. It seems paid collects are clustered around null-8 and 5-100 editions.** this is a chart showing the avg price of a collect post against the # of collects a user gets. Note both axes grow exponentially so don't read the chart wrong!

The zany surrealism of Japanese album covers has enchanted me for a while, so I'm going to share some favourites here on Lens ✨ First up, Akiko Yano's *Iroha Ni Konpeitou* 🐬 Recorded in Tokyo and New York, the album mixes Japanese pop and NYC funk, and includes a cover shot by photographer Bishin Jumonji. Its ten tracks also feature two Haruomi Hosono compositions: ‘Ai Ai Gasa’ – which appeared on his debut *Hosono House*, as well as ‘Hourou’.

I was at this Prada Frames event at M+ during Art Basel a few weeks ago. All things considered I should have made my way down to M+ much earlier. The entire space (not just architecturally) but as a concept is pretty amazing for a city so starved for some creative wins. I went specifically for a talk from Jacques Herzog and after the talk I just stumbled around and captured this shot of ifc (International Finance Centre). I like these types of shots that leverage the foreground to showcase a bit of human interaction against a man-made structure.
