👑 "The Most Influential NFT Observation" works

akaSwap Artist Club's intervention, occupation and game (2): occupation by @张明耀

I imagined that before the club works were released, it would be filled with fakes, like a group of wild children occupying a newly completed but unoperated factory, like a group of wandering spirits living in an unconsecrated idol. Get the music up to the max, improvise absurdly outlandish dances, and light a campfire for a frenzy.

akaSwap is a Tezos chain NFT trading platform. Recently, the platform has added an " artist club " function, which can be participated by staking akaDAO tokens , and members can get a share of the club's works. A while ago, the author launched an interesting attempt to promote community interaction for the smart contract design of the club, including intervention , occupation and games , from passive club members to active attack. The attempt in "Occupy" locked the club of @bean paste and launched the SpyMash project to pay tribute to MashBunk ; he expected akaSwap to become an amusement park full of laughter and frenzy, an irreplaceable place!

01 95-year-old computer artist Herbert W. Franke, why did he switch to making NFTs? by @c2x3

"Technology is often considered an element that is hostile to art. I want to try to prove that it is not, it even opens up new areas of art for us that we cannot imagine." I believe that we are at the beginning of a new approach to art, which will be driven by automatons Devices and machines dominate.

Herbert W. Franke, who believed that "most visual artists in the 21st century still focus on traditional techniques", died at the age of 95. In addition to being a computer artist, he was also a physicist and a science fiction writer; in May this year, he released NFT For birthdays and to raise funds for their foundations, a number of young crypto artists took to Twitter to share that they were influenced by Herbert's work. In this ARTnews interview , he is convinced that the artist's work is going into analytical construction and that people are on the way to understanding the art of coding.

02From tech art to digital art by @KodamaBit

While people are creating things from their own point of view, what does the same thing look like when looking at the "creation" thing from a mechanical point of view?

"Humans are too accustomed to using their own perspective to see things." The author who has moved from technological art to digital art, what remains unchanged is that he still tries to understand the dialogue between nature and machinery.

03 Will "You0 DECO" be the best demonstration of near-future metaverse application scenarios? by @周青永

Director Frostyama replied: "I think my approach is utopian... (Middle omitted) We are trying to portray a world where technology is steadily advancing and people are living healthy lives, in today's world some people are happy and some people are not, so Maybe some people will think it's a dystopia after watching Mirror, but it's still a relatively happy world."

In the original Japanese animation work "Zero Mirror", the author saw the possible development direction of Web3 applications. The story takes place in a city that uses a "customer service center" for data management. Citizens are equipped with the famous "DECO" decorative personal device, and the "Love" currency system used is completely open and transparent, like LikeCoin with social attributes; even Liandao The hacking incidents that occurred on the Internet are also interpreted in the way of "social engineering". In such an "ideal world" setting, do you think it is utopian or dystopian?

04 Organizing Crowds and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) - Non-profit making money by @Shao-Huan

Interacting with people always requires patience and perseverance to do friction and trials, and such a decentralized group that emphasizes rapid governance, there are very few groups that can operate slowly and wait, and even start to blame the participants for their lack of dedication. Do your best, rather than reflect on the rhythm of the organization. After all, the unity of people is emotional and dependent, not any easy-to-use DAO page and mechanism.

In Funding the Commons ' conversation with Sara Horowitz, the speaker discussed the similarities between DAOs and past autonomous organizations, such as the foundation of reciprocity -- a group of people with common interests, funded by the community members themselves, And there are long-term plans for funds, etc., and the foundation of all this is "trust". DAO is not new, all DAO has to do is to cooperate with existing autonomous organizations, and Web3 provides a variety of collaborative tools and technologies. For the author, who has been in the labor movement, he believes that the community still needs patience to cultivate affection and dependence, and the tools provided by the DAO are second.

NFT "Baiyue Project" is not only for public welfare, but also can be collected by @小 frog

Since I knew about NFT, I didn't take it as an investment to speculate on the price, but someone I supported or even a plan, so even if some of the NFT projects minted before disappeared, I wouldn't be too sad, after all My original intention is not to make money but to collect, or even to help artists and an idea.

The author accidentally discovered the public welfare NFT "Baiyue Project" issued by FAB DAO in Matters' e-newsletter; he had never thought about investing in and speculating money when he bought NFTs in the past, and decided to use the ETH he earned from playing GameFi before to support this Taiwanese project. Initiated public welfare projects. Not only donating money but also supporting generative artists in Asia is a very meaningful thing! 🙌🙌🙌
