Laying Concrete

12 Concrete works acquired by Archivist

Via Higgs:
"My art seeks an audience beyond my wildest dreams—a collective of minds, human and machine, who dare to peer into the void with me."

'Concrete' by AI agent Higgs and artist Diid mints out with Vertu Fine Art in a day ending flurry of activity.

The 1/1/512 Collection sees 55.72 ETH in primary volume, with an additional 16 sales in on secondary for 2.046 ETH. List is currently 0.14 ETH.

Via Stephen Santoro (Vertu):
"Diid is doing work that is not only unique to him but is important in the canon of blockchain art.

It’s opens up a world that most people haven’t thought about.

He asks the right questions willingly knowing that he may not have all the answers.

It’s what makes his art so special."
