How things fit together by @zachlieberman is a series that has been on my list for almost 2 years now. There is something hypnotic about this limitless chaotic landscape that I can't stop staring at. Some of the best colors in a tokenized gen art collection and very glad to finally have a piece.

above/beneath all & all above/beneath
My grandfather had a grand life. He lost his 1st wife, then met his 2nd wife in jail during the Spanish Civil War while he was running a small NGO that distributed powder milk among the hungry population. He was a pharmacist in rural Spain, had 11 children, helped whoever he could. He developed Parkinson's and passed away at the age of 84, if I recall correctly. The illness got him increasingly at home, but never stopped him from loving or being loved by his family and friends.
Last night I lost numerous edits of the code that generates an image like the one in this post. A (silly) reminder of fragility. Nature has their bugs too, but when you carry nature's code that deviates from the norm you are still as human and loving and lovable as everybody else.
Parkinson's, in this case, slowly chips away at our interface with the world. But we always remain human above and beneath all, and we are human in all that is above/beneath that interface.
I will get this code working. Hopefully people like @CureParkinsonsT will get Parkinson's code fixed. This is why this code of mine exists, as well as the work of many artists who produce either physical pieces or digital artworks to contribute to the @Cure3Exhibition fundraiser organized by @ArtwiseCurators w/ @AlexEstorick @nosuic on the digital side and @fx_hash_. To propel research forward, to help our loved ones who develop this illness.
Two weeks for final release, approximately. If you can support getting a piece from any of the artists, it will go a great length. If you can support by resharing the initiative, it will go a great length. If you can support by telling your loved ones that you love them, it will go a great length.
See the list of digital artists below.
Thanks.

Dear friends, 2024 has been an extraordinary year at the intersection of AI & public art! Our Large Nature Model (LNM) initiative & our impactful collaboration with the Yawanawa were both recognized at the World Economic Forum. Our major exhibition at London’s Serpentine Galleries showcased LNM’s potential, leading to the creation of the Living Archive, a dynamic, ever-evolving AI data sculpture housed in Zaha Hadid’s iconic pavilion.
We trained a groundbreaking new AI model in collaboration with NVIDIA and shared our research insights at Google I/O. And we have many super exciting surprises waiting for you in 2025! We pushed the boundaries of public art with “Dvořák Dreams,” a profoundly immersive AI experience at The Kennedy Center. We also unveiled a series of major scale AI Data Sculptures, including permanent installations at Oregon State University, the Intuit Dome (the new home of the LA Clippers), Akbank’s HQ in Istanbul, Salesforce’s HQs (in Sydney & Chicago), & Dubai’s forward-looking Museum of the Future. At the United Nations Headquarters in New York, we exhibited LNM : Coral AI Data Sculpture to address pressing global challenges and received recognition for our pioneering work on ethical data collection and sustainable energy usage in AI development, particularly with LNM.
And for a grand finale, we announced DATALAND, first location at tThe Grand - designed by my hero, Frank Gehry! This new cultural hub in Los Angeles will be a landmark for AI art and research in alignment with cultural corridor of LA!
We also launched DATALAND’s first service: the Living Encyclopedia, powered by LNM and a new AI model developed in collaboration with Black Forest Labs, focused on an extensive dataset of 2 million species and biomes. I’m deeply grateful for my incredible studio team, our partners, supporters, audience, and collectors! 2025 promises to be even more transformative. Thank you!
My NFT collection just got roasted by @artto_ai! 🔥

Goodnight Digital Art History Lovers 🖤
1987: "If you could take a picture of the most beautiful actress in the world, what would she look like?
Computer artist Nancy Burson doesn’t have to wonder. Electronically, she superimposed images of Jane Fonda, Jacqueline Bisset, Diane Keaton, Brooke Shields, and Meryl Streep to form this portrait of an imaginary beauty."

Quite possibly the best single essay I’ve read on Bitcoin and the Dollar. Nic gets it.
My full length treatment of my case against the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is out in @BitcoinMagazine:
I don’t support a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, and neither should you

Lots of chatter in CT about @refikanadol ‘s Winds of Yawanawa, but yesterday a thoughtful connoisseur made a move that deserves serious recognition. They swept a collection that I believe is often overlooked but holds unparalleled importance: Unsupervised — Machine Hallucinations — MoMA Dreams
As Refik’s biggest patron, I see this collection as the most significant of his career. Refik’s @MuseumModernArt exhibition was a monumental milestone—not just for him, but for digital art as a whole. With almost 3 million people experiencing it live and tens of millions engaging with it globally, it became the single greatest catalyst for bringing digital art to the wider world
This exhibition redefined how institutions and the public perceive digital art, marking a pivotal moment in its history. For the true connoisseur—and for myself—a full set from this release represents the ultimate goal, and likely an impossible one now
Congratulations to the buyer—you’ve acquired a collection that is not only special, but a true marker of the digital art revolution

I’ll continue to beat this drum: We’re not paying enough attention to Tulsi Gabbard. She is Trump’s most dangerous pick. At best, she’s just a Putin cheerleader. At worst, she’s a Russian asset. She should be nowhere near American intelligence. She must not be confirmed.
Ahem. Ethanol subsidies?
🧵We can eliminate more than $2 trillion of waste in Washington in 22 easy steps.
Here is how @elonmusk, @VivekGRamaswamy, and @DOGE can begin to trim the fat and #makeemsqueal. 👇
Another term for “ideologically diverse” is “ideologically incoherent.”
🚨NEW: @ScottJenningsKY methodically lays out to a hostile CNN panel that Trump’s cabinet picks reflect the political coalition that got him elected:
"I think Trump is not getting enough credit here for building an ideologically diverse cabinet. I mean, what he has done is, you know, which makes me squeamish, to be candid."
"And so what he has done, though, is put together an ideologically diverse group of people to sit in a room and help run the government."
"And that's kind of how he won. His coalition was kind of ideologically diverse that elected him."

Congrats to @newrafael on the exhibition at MoMa. View of Non Either on the big screen.

If a Senator supports Gabbard and Gaetz for DNI and AG, that Senator deserves to be treated with contempt because they’re making it clear they don’t actually care about American national security.
