SquiggleDAO is finally announcing the secret project we've been working on with @Pakmanscoop and @ArtOnBlockchain. The Squiggle Display Station! 📺 We’ve seen significant success with art that creates a memorable experience. As younger generations become increasingly disengaged in traditional museum settings, immersive and experiential exhibitions have grown rapidly in popularity. We believe it’s important to offer a way to experience the Squiggle interactively, without altering the artwork itself and highlighting its artistic significance. To bring this vision into the physical world, we partnered with Hash Inc and Snowfro. Snowfro has been working on the hardware side for some time, and recently succeeded in porting the Chromie Squiggles script to C allowing us to run them on a Raspberry Pi. This breakthrough made it possible to integrate his work directly into the Display Station, allowing the project to come to life. Snowfro was pivotal in creating the electrical and software components of the Display Station. This wouldn’t have been possible without his contribution and hardware advancements. How it works: - The display station arrives ready to install, requiring only a few panels to be screwed together. It includes two cords: a power cable and an HDMI cable, allowing it to connect to virtually any screen. - Users can adjust the speed, change the background color, and enter any Squiggle type and hypervariant as the original artist's traits. To respect the owners of each Squiggle, we have received approval from many owners to display over 3000 Squiggles. When selecting a Squiggle type it will generate a random Squiggle from that approved list. Instead of typing numbers, we focused on the types of Squiggles in order to emphasize its importance and variety. - The display station creates an interactive experience that helps audiences better understand the artwork. Many people are unaware that the Squiggle moves, and even fewer realize that both the background color and speed can change. This interactive setup allows viewers to explore these intricacies firsthand, making it one of the most memorable ways to experience, learn and engage with the art. Our goal is to convince museums to install these for exhibitions and if we're lucky enough, to have them as permanent displays so their audience can always interact with the Squiggle.

It seems the limits of models aren’t their "intelligence scores" but instead how we actually apply them. Sharing autolab today- an autonomous research orchestration framework I built to make novel discoveries. In the time a human can come up with a hypothesis, design a test, and run it, autolab ran 100s.

Before the AB500, there was the Pro11—the first 11 projects released on Prohibition, the platform that brought art to everyone —on @arbitrum.  Prohibition is now a collection of over 300 artists, discoverable on Art Blocks. Here's a roundup of the trailblazers. 👇

I've been building something for myself called DorkOS.ai It finds all of your Claude Code projects, lets em talk to each other, work autonomously, Telegram, Slack, yada, yada. It's Open Source. Been using it daily. Wifey likes it too.

Introducing the Art Blocks MCP server. Any AI agent can now discover, browse, and collect from 500 on-chain generative art projects.  Plus countless other possibilities. Check out potential use cases for Collectors, Artists, Researchers and Developers 👇

Be careful out there...

update: turned this into an open standard with tooling npx nope-md init — interactive wizard that walks you through every security decision. presets for dev assistants, monitors, and research agents. every question forces you to think about blast radius. "would I be okay with an attacker having this?" github.com/nopemd/nope.md nope-md.vercel.app CC0 public domain. PRs welcome.

Best advice I ever ignored: "Stay in your lane." I went from government housing to coding to startups to generative art to 3D-printed products. Every pivot felt risky. Every one opened doors. The lane is whatever you build it to be.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

AB500 isn’t the end it’s the foundation that enables everything else to come the first 500 capture what artists achieved pushing on-chain constraints to their ceiling now we preserve that era while empowering unlimited artist experimentation through Studio and Engine as well as making a lane for @trameparis and @generativegoods an exciting future ahead

It's time for Arweave to cross the chasm.

5 years. 500 collections. Preserving an era of on-chain generative art Laying the foundation for our next chapter This is Art Blocks 500

You’ve seen tapestries. You’ve seen stained glass. You’ve seen what happens when generative art meets hand-crafted tradition We’re thrilled to share that we have acquired @trameparis, a longtime partner and pioneer in bringing onchain art into the physical world

In the coming months, you’ll see meaningful changes at Art Blocks: some that honor our past, others that look towards the future. Today we introduce Collector Profiles: aggregate wallets, log in via email, track sets & achievements. Create yours: artblocks.io

Make sure you BRIDGE WITH @flow_blockchain for this one !!

fun w/ hidden meanings... PARTED coming soon from @Ed_Balloon !
