'Post Hear' by Botto sells for 100 ETH ($214,093 USD) to punk4940, in a deal brokered by Eli Scheinman.
Minted via SuperRare in September, 2022 as Genesis Period artwork #049, it is 1 of 52 Genesis Bottos.
Via Botto Artwork Description:
"I am the post hear, the one who stands watch, marking the way for others. I am the key to the door, the detail in the shadows, the ceiling of the sky. I am the guardian of the gate, the protector of the path, the watchman of the world."
Via Collector punk4940:
"I love this piece. With recent volatility in crypto the best thing to do is relax and buy grails."
'A Book from the Sky' by Gene Kogan sells out via Fellowship for 69.564 ETH total.
The 1/1/530 Collection was broken down into 9 categories and ranged in sales from 0.05 ETH to a high sale of 2.5 ETH for 'Character Interpolation Timeline' 1/1 to collector ZhiBeiYou.
Via Jediwolf:
"'A Book from the Sky' by Gene Kogan is a pioneering GAN work of art that went beyond experimental AI outputs. Released in Dec 2015 and followed by numerous workshops led by Gene, it inspired a generation of artists to explore AI as an art form.
In my view, it stands as one of the most significant and historically important AI collections ever to be tokenized. All 530 outputs were acquired by 80 collectors - a remarkable achievement in today’s market."
Via Fellowship:
"[The collection was] created at a time when machine learning was just beginning to shift from recognition tasks to more creative processes. Unthinkable at that time, but this change created a paradigm shift in the way we think of creating images in the 21st century."
Hivemind's Digital Culture Fund acquires 'Fidenza #456' by Tyler Hobbs for 42 ETH from Seedphrase.
It is 1 of 30 Jumbo XL and 1 of 26 Black Fidenzas in the 1/1/999 Art Blocks Collection.
Via Matt Zhang:
"it can feel pretty lonely to keep collecting when others have given up at this stage.
But I have always enjoyed loneliness."
The week in digital art closes with a bang and big highlights. It's not often that a recent high Grifter sale plus 3 Mitchell F. Chan IKB's end up in the line items, but here we are. A few interesting 1/1s are in countdown. Let's see how they close into the weekend.
Have an inspired one!
