KEKE Conclusion

'Exit Vectors' by KEKE with Fellowship and Silk concludes all but one of its 1/1/500 artwork collection, totaling 150.02 ETH across mints and auctions.

Its final work - 'Golden Breath' - is currently live at Christie's with a 17,000 USD bid, closing on March 5th.

Via Artist Dark Sando:
"finding meaning in art is a personal adventure, and your interpretations have added depth to mine.  grateful for the convos that push beyond the obvious and remind me why i started in the first place."

Via Curator Alejandro Cartagena:
"This is one of the hardest and most exciting curation collaborations I've done in a while. Honored to be a part of it."

Via Fellowship:
"This project is part of our exploration into what AI art can be in the digital age. There are many questions to be asked and answered about the inherent challenges of considering AI art as an artistic practice, a work of art, an archive, a new medium, and more."


The Music of Code

Grand Rehearsal by Helena Sarin

'Helena Sarin and Her Band' by Helena Sarin with Fellowship and ARTXCODE sees a strong opening with three of five artworks placed for 15,000 USD each.

Pre-sale has concluded, and the remaining two works will be live on February 27th.

Via Helena Sarin:
"To paraphrase Basquiat, I wanted to be a jazz musician, but I couldn’t play well; so my code became my music.”

Via Toni Marinara of ARTXCODE:
"In jazz, 'call and response' is a conversation where one melody sparks another. Sarin’s prompts act as the call; the AI’s output, the response. She refines it all into a final piece, much like a conductor guiding musicians while still leaving room for improvisation."

RD Report


Congratulations, S.P - you are the winner of a 'Bank Runners' by Lucho Poletti. Thank you for being a 24 Hours of Art Subscriber! I'll be in touch for your wallet address.

How about the moment AI is having? Botto Phase 1 (Mints)? Check. KEKE Phase 1 (Mints)? Check. KEKE Phase 2 (Auctions)? Check.

Now we gear up for Botto Phase 2 (Auctions, Wednesday) and Christie's (Auctions, March 5th).

When the space moves as furiously as it does, it is difficult to reflect in the moment. This calendar month has a chance to be viewed as an inflection point that lasts for quite some time.

CATCH UP: The DAM Show
We welcomed Nicole Giles of Christie's and artists Pindar Van Arman, Claire Silver, and Jesse Woolston to talk "Augmented Intelligence".

I thoroughly enjoyed the time with this quartet. Ample insights that set the comments ablaze. Thanks for attending and being a part of it! Watch the livestream recording here.

CATCH UP: 2-4 Minutes of Masquerade
This series exists to update the Sam Spratt Masquerade in progress

Episode 8 (February 24th) was a unique one for two reasons. I followed the unscripted thread of a phone number left as an observation, and we had an in-person cameo (some might say, an observer of sorts!)
