24 Hours of Art: February 5, 2025

Hidden Beeple

'STAND STILL' /2 by Beeple sells for 14.99 ETH to Mysterio.

Minted December 8, 2022, it is the 3rd in a series of (so far) 5 'H1 GEMS' or "Hidden Gems". Each is derived from new chapters of Beeple's 'HUMAN ONE' artwork, containing hidden seed phrases that immediately unlocks these editions.

Beeple himself owns the 2nd of each edition.

Mysterio reflects on the artwork and acquisition:

"In a space that moves as quickly as ours reacting to every head feint can be catastrophic!

Be attentive but cool headed, action oriented but also clear-eyed and patient.

Do nothing yet leave nothing undone!

In that clarity opportunity may present!"

Conveniently and near simultaneously, Beeple releases his next chapter and puzzle here. Happy hunting!
