BYOV totally blew my mind! I’m so inspired. Maybe I should host a 'BYOS' (Bring Your Own Sakazuki) event next! 😁

The Terminator: An artist from the future! @newrafael is one of the most thoughtful artists I've met in a while. A few moments of absolute wisdom from this small doc we created for @fellowshiptrust. Be sure to watch the full documentary. Enjoy! "...the internet is so pervasive and so woven into every aspect of life that any artist at this point is a digital artist. So I think in 1999, saying “I'm a digital artist” was quite confusing to people. At this point, even the most analog painter at some point sends an email, sends an image, and the image becomes documented. It's just part of everything. And there's just a gradient from how much you emphasize the digital." "Software is a system to collaborate. Even if you look at YouTube, you would think, okay, YouTube is infinite, but actually, you have to make your point within the first 30s it can’t be longer than this or it should be longer than that. The thumbnail should be as crazy as possible. So the system starts to dictate a style. It's very measured, you can A/B test like, if I do a thumbnail with a blue background, it works better than the green background. The culture there is so quantified that it actually creates a sameness." "I think artists more than ever have a role to talk about where our eyes are, what the screen is doing to our eyes, and how we feel when we see things. Not in a spoken way, not writing it down, but feeling it when you're in front of the work." "For me, the computer was a tool of artistic empowerment. So when you think of artist-run spaces, the reach of an artist-run space is quite limited, especially if you're in a small town. Which is fine, but I just started putting my work online, and it quickly traveled, and it quickly got traction. And that was just very energizing. I always thought it was interesting that any form of creative expression comes with editing at some point. Where if you make a book, you might work with a publisher, if you do a show, you might work with a gallerist, and they might give you full creative freedom, but there's this tiny question always that is like, Are you sure that's the right work right now? And the internet doesn't ask you that. So that was interesting to me that it's almost like opening up your subconscious, which now we know is terrible for politics; it really is bad. But from an artistic point of view, the idea of “I'm not sure why this should exist, but I have a feeling it should” is very powerful. A lot of my work beforehand, I don't know if it's good or bad; I don't judge it. And it might be five, six, seven years later that it finds its right place, or maybe it doesn't, and I find that openness still; there's nothing like it. As much as the internet now is also a place of doomscrolling and online shopping, etc., for me as an artist, making moving images and being completely unedited and sharing that with an audience, those fundamentals still exist."

セイビ堂さんにDSJ2026の中でフィーチャー頂きました！ありがとうございます @seibidou_jp @neort_io

It’s that time of the year again. @artbasel is just around the corner in Switzerland, and 100 collectors members will be fully immersed in a week of exhibitions, private visits, conversations, special access, and a special collector dinner. From discovering some of the most exciting digital art presentations of the week to gathering collectors, artists, galleries, and friends around meaningful conversations, we’ve put together an agenda for our members designed to make the most of Basel’s unique energy. And of course, we’ll be closing the week with one of our signature collector gatherings, an evening dedicated to art, people, and the connections that make this community what it is. See you all in Basel: @ArtBasel @artmetaofficial @opensea basel social club @artontezos_ @DianeDrubay @SNOWCASH432 @bygrida @NinaRoehrs @VOLTAartfairs @drmiminguyen @nguyenwahed @cifraworld @postanika @eli_schein @redbeardnft @trevorpaglen @0xcollection

My artwork was featured at the @inkseart Lounge at @NFCsummit ! Huge thanks to the Inksea team for their unwavering love for art and their continued support 🫂 If you're interested in what they're building, I highly encourage you to visit their account :)

Hi(ball)! I’m still learning about the possibilities of digital art every day 😁 Love what @neort_io is building here 🎉 Cheers🥃🥃 @KZ_LAB_E @NORIWTS @tonyherrera @HarryOtterNFT @sbmckeon

#SCREENS_CONTEXUALIZED_TOKYO is now also showing in Omotesando from June 8. Featuring works by @yuta_0_p5 and @rapha_nyc More works to follow. MADE FOR THIS CITY — Art that belongs here, TOKYO @Artcrush × NEORT

Hi(ball)! One of the most thoughtful descriptions of what we’re trying to build. Thank you @NORIWTS 😭 SAKAZUKI has never been just about travel, whisky, or NFTs. It’s about helping people see Japan 🇯🇵 — and perhaps themselves — a little differently. Cheers 🥃🥃 @neort_io @tonyherrera @HarryOtterNFT @sbmckeon @mae_1031_

Hi(ball)! One thing I’ve learned over the past few years: The most interesting things in Japan 🇯🇵 are usually not the famous things. They’re the people, stories, craftsmanship, and places hiding underneath the surface. That’s really what TABI is about 😊 Cheers🥃🥃🎉 Website is now live: sakazuki.io/products?filter=… @neort_io @NORIWTS @tonyherrera @HarryOtterNFT @mae_1031_

So many great memories thanks to @HighballCharlie and @SakazukiNFT …. Truly incredible, Japan is calling again 🇯🇵

Still working on this, getting close to a public announcement. Today, I was fortunate to share details with @tylekki on what @obscuradao has planned. It was great to speak with a talented photographer pursing his passion at the end of the world in El Chaltén, Patagonia.

Over the past few months, SAKAZUKI has been quietly building new journeys across Japan🇯🇵. Not simply to visit places. But to experience the atmosphere, people, craftsmanship, spirituality, and Hidden Gems underneath them. Japanese pixel artist @mae_1031_ parts of the journey itself and created these Art Journey Tokens from memories, atmosphere, and moments experienced along the way. More than tickets. Memory vessels. June 1 ✨

“More than tickets. Memory vessels” Yes, It’s so true, because what matters most is that we got to meet all of you, cheers🩷🥂🎉!

So grateful for meeting such wonderful people. Thank you 😊 🩷!

Hi(ball)!! Still honestly feels surreal 😂🍾! More than anything, this reminds me again how lucky SAKAZUKI is to be supported by such an incredible family and creative team. Feels like the strange little cultural world we’ve all been slowly building together is starting to become visible ✨ Huge respect to @kdooshun , @neort_io and everyone involved. Cheers🥂🎉! @NORIWTS @tonyherrera @HarryOtterNFT @sbmckeon

Another weekend comes! Feeling another perspective after the drop and convinced that this world we are faing is @KZ_LAB_E attitude toward his exploration, love it

Relive the key moments of Art Dubai Special Edition 2026: 100collectors.art/info/artic… Twelve digital art galleries. Strong conversations. A slower rhythm. As institutional partners this year, we spent the week moving through the digital sector with collectors, artists, and curators. A few things became clear:
→ The region’s energy is growing fast
→ Context matters as much as the work itself
→ Smaller fair formats can create stronger conversations
→ Collectors are genuinely curious to learn about digital art Our booth meetings, tours, and Meet the Artist sessions reminded us why 100 collectors exists: creating spaces where collectors and artists can engage directly, openly, and with curiosity.
