Are humans shaping artificial intelligences based on their own cognitive processes, or are these algorithms revealing that our brains may be more akin to machines than previously believed? Malik by Ganbrood: proof.xyz/grails/season-5/ma…

pre-dinner yaps 💜🥃

gm Marfans ☀️ See you on the 16th for dinner, drinks and community with our friends at @proof_xyz 🫂

Dinner. Drinks. Community. Thursday, October 16 at 6PM. See you soon, Marfa. 🥃

Just grabbed a beautiful ZENTRUM by @HerbertWFranke from 2023. Link below 🔗 Why it matters: code (Basic) from 1982, written by Franke himself, brought on-chain posthumously by @aaronpenne , with curatorial direction by @postanika and @KateVassGalerie , in collaboration with @proof_xyz and the Herbert W. Franke Foundation @Foundation_HWF . Franke is more than an OG, he is a legend - physicist, science-fiction author, and one of the very first to write algorithms as art. Decades before “AI art“, he was already coding aesthetics. He died in July 2022 at the age of 95. Mint settled at 2.5ETH (Dec 2023 ≈ $5500). Current floor ~ 0.49 ETH (≈ $2 000 @ $4 145/ETH) → ~ –65 % vs. mint. Implied cap ≈ $450 k for 222 pieces. The Foundation’s advisory board - led by Dr. Susanne Päch (his widow) and including Margit Rosen @Rosen__ (ZKM) and other experts - is ensuring that Franke’s legacy and works like ZENTRUM continue to receive serious institutional attention. Thesis: museum-grade provenance active stewardship = sustained cultural relevance!

us realizing that the @artblocks_io weekend in Marfa (and the @proof_xyz x SHILLR dinner) is just over a month away 👀
