Living Aluminum Art
In a November 19, 2025 interview with OpenSea, Jediwolf said this: “I would love to finally get the Aluminum Gazer by Matt Kane (there are 58 of them). I haven’t put in all the effort I could so far to get it, as my focus has been elsewhere - but it’s on my list, and the time will come!”
Two-and-a-half months later, the time has come.
Aluminum Background ‘Gazers #665’ by Matt Kane is acquired for $53,000 USDC by jediwolf.eth from 0xrodo.eth via Gondi.
The collector shares a recent post that underscores several of the artwork (and collection) attributes:
“Art that’s in motion.
Art that reveals itself slowly.
Art that reflects years of passion.
Art that can’t be printed without breaking.
Art that forms a network around itself.
Art that does more than just exist.
Art that lives.”
Reaching For Restoration
The Digital Rescue Lab and the efforts of 𝙱å𝚛𝚍 𝙸𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚘𝚗 deliver in a big way.
Async Art, a sunset dynamic art platform, has been rebooted. The Lab says this: “It’s bare bones but the art is saved and a lot of the functionality restored. It’s a work in progress but we couldn’t be prouder!”
On this day, Shortcut collects ‘Reaching For Myself’, a SuperRare 1-of-1 artwork by Ionson, for $1,500 USDC. The collector says: “Probably not a secret, that I support Bard for all the great work he’s doing in regards of the Digital Rescue Lab mission. Besides that, I really dig his work.”

RD Report
Wow! With all of the recent discussion around digital art platforms sunsetting plus a dose of down crypto sentiment, I did not have a resurrection of Async Art on the bingo card. Kudos to Digital Rescue Lab for sneaking in a bright ray of sunshine.
With builders like Rhynotic, who previously resurrected DOOM Party, and Bard Ionson getting creative and applying their talents, anything is possible.
