Back in the early 90s, before the Internet, we had "Defrag and Chill". You'd start Disk Defragmenter on your 540MB hard drive, dim the lights, crack open a Surge, and just vibe while the little blue bars crawled across the screen like they were solving world peace. Forty-five minutes of pure, unfiltered anticipation. No notifications. No algorithms. Just the two of you, the gentle grinding of the hard drive, and the sacred promise that your Solitaire games were about to feel 3% snappier. This is MS_DOS 6.22, which I worked on, but I honestly have no idea who wrote defrag. Iconic utility though!

In 1968, when computers were still seen as cold calculating machines, Jasia Reichardt curated an extraordinary exhibition in London called Cybernetic Serendipity. Artists, engineers, poets and scientists came together to explore the creative possibilities at the intersection of art and technology.The result was something remarkably ahead of its time. If you're curious about the early days of the relationship between computers and art, the catalogue is essential reading. The catalogue from Cybernetic Serendipity is filled with ideas, experiments and reflections that feel surprisingly relevant in our current AI era. You can read the full PDF for free here: monoskop.org/images/2/25/Rei… Highly recommended! Take your time with it. thanks @monalisa for the tip!

Glad to have ‘DR1FT’ showcased at OFFF Festival this past week in Barcelona. Thank you to @tgamxyz for the curation!

In the light of recent events, just want to mention how proud I am of being part of the @objktcom team. They have never deviated from their goal or their passion, and are building for the long run since day 1. Not only the platform is surviving through this super long bear, but the team has also delivered 2 NEW platforms last year - @dropdotart and @bootloader_art , to fill the void in the tezos ecosystem for blind drops and long form generative art. It might not be perfect - we are trying to evolve every single day and there is so much we want to do and implement, ideas are not lacking - but objkt does provide a multitude of tools for artists, collectors and curators that I haven't seen in any other platform. It remains an open platform, where anyone can mint, while also delivering a curatorial layer through galleries such as @objktone , @_second_guess and so many others. It makes easy for art collectives to release collections and invent new ways to collaborate and share their art. And not forgetting that objkt indexes and pins every single NFT in the tezos ecosystem, so it's also a brilliant platform for secondary sales and I would argue that it contains the biggest amount of top digital art IN THE WORLD. Instead of focusing on hype, the objkt team has been striving to develop meaningful content and help artists in their journey, through the @objktlabs residency , articles/interviews in our blog OBJKTOR and spaces. And not forgetting the IRL events and exhibitions that we have either organized, participated or collaborated. So many over the years it's hard to summarize - not only in Europe and US, but also in Brazil, Japan, Nigeria, Turkey, Singapore, Hong Kong, Argentina, China... Our co founders are discreet and not really prone to big X statements, but they work hard every single day for this community, and keep guiding the rest of the team with kindness, respect and a profound sense of ethics. @NFTPROTECTOR , @marchingsquare and @brianmca , I love you guys. So for those who say there is not a good option for minting or collecting NFTs because Foundation and others have gone belly up... oh please. objkt has been the best option for a very long time. Give it a try.
