1/6 Introducing pixelpete.gallery! A few months ago, I acquired this domain without any concrete intentions for it. This thread will explain my my thoughts for it moving forward 👇

I created a new generative typeface that simulates typography being woven together. You can play with it as if it’s real strands of thread 🧵🪡 I initially designed this for an exhibition all about textiles but excited to see what else I can do with this.

More years have passed since this incredible project revealed itself to us all and later adorned our many of our walls, and I still have trouble fully grasping the implications. Excited to look back another five years from now and to see what more follows.

Happy anniversary Fidenza! What a two years it’s been. Thank you for brightening our home each day since with #559, @tylerxhobbs!

Digital Art Summit 2026 | ACT 01 Autonomous: Art Before and After the Agent June 15, 2026 | 10:10 - 10:50 CET Before "AI agent" became a category, artists were already building systems that acted, generated, and decided without a human hand guiding each move. From early biometric composites and algorithmic scores to on-chain protocols that execute in live markets, some practitioners have spent decades inside the question of what it means to give a system agency. This panel traces that longer history and asks what it looks like now. As autonomous agents negotiate, transact, and create at scale, and as protocols replace authorial intention with executable code, the conversation turns to those who were working here first: what did autonomy mean then, and what does it demand today? Speakers: ▫️ @jonas_lund, Artist (Sweden, Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom) ▫️ @yaoeo, artist (France) ▫️ @JordanLyall, Chief Product Officer, @artblocks_io (United States) Moderator: ▫️ @postanika, Writer & Curator (Germany)

Thanks to everyone who's shown interest in DEL. I’m carefully reviewing all collector selections right now. I’ll mint the artworks directly to your wallets. The private sale ends May 30, when the public mint begins. If we haven’t talked yet, reach out now.

I've been tinkering lately with creating tools to help those interested better understand the systems that impact where they live, starting in Houston, where I live, to create a more civically-engaged community. The first of which lives at houston.citylayers.org.

What does it mean to make art with a network? Not on it. Not about it. With it. An essay for @ethereum. I was invited to write a guest piece, this essay reflects on network as a medium, @CryptoPunks and the art practice of @larvalabs, and the future of institutions like @nodefnd stewarding art that will outlive museums. It's been an honor to shepherd CryptoPunks into their next chapter. Punks forever. 💅

I’m excited to introduce Artist Commons, a year-long, online development program for early- and mid-career artists. Applications open next week, and the program starts in mid-January. ➤ Do you want to learn more about how to navigate the business of art? ➤ Do you want an artist community invested in your longterm growth? ➤ Do you want real feedback on your work instead of just some kind words from your friends? If you’ve been looking for a way to level up your art practice without spending an arm and a leg to get an MFA, Artist Commons is for you. Artists accepted into the program are paired with a mentor and a small cohort of peers at their level for weekly feedback sessions. Then tune in every month to lectures on the business of art, craft workshops from visiting artists, talks on various modern and contemporary art movements, and guest speakers working across the art world. You’ll build deep community with your fellow members through online meetups including regular reading groups, close looking exercises, and forum discussions, as well as quarterly IRL meetups in select cities. Developing this has been so inspiring and I’m so excited to build the community I wish I’d had when I was coming up. I can’t wait to tell you about all the amazing guests we have lined up. If you’d like to go into next year with a clear sense of purpose for your art practice, we’d love to have you. Below is the website where you can learn more about the program. Follow @Artist_Commons on socials. And sign up for the email list to be the first to know when applications open next week.

🚨 Beware of the fake defi on Discord with the '.' at the end of their username. They've been targeting AB community members in DMs even though they are banned. They use an unidentifiable alt to read channels. ID 1015175677416308766. Always verify you are talking to the real me!
Warning to people in the @artblocks_io community that someone is impersonating @DeFiStaker in the artblocks discord. I confirmed with Twitter DM. The scammer’s discord username has a period at the end which is hard to notice.
