MoMA Triples Down on Digital Art

There’s a lot of big stuff going on in the crypto art space lately.

Five years ago, it was almost unheard of for digital art to grace the halls of a museum, and yet here we are reporting groundbreaking news every other day.

This week, we’re bringing you all the exciting stuff that should absolutely be on your radar. Especially if you’re in New York City. Check it out:

• SUBJECTIVE Merges Fitness and Immersive Art

• GenArt, Wine and Love (October Edition) 🍷

• MoMA Launches Postcard Project

• Art Spotlight 🔭

SUBJECTIVE Merges Fitness and Immersive Art

Mondays in NYC are often associated with rush hour traffic and #grindmode posts on social media. Well, thanks to the folks at SUBJECTIVE, we could disrupt the humdrum with a healthy dose of meditative yoga.

Now, you’re probably thinking, “What the heck does stretching my hams have to do with art?” We’ve got two words for you: immersive art.

Yesterday, a 60-minute power yoga class that combined the healing power of Yogism with a sublime aesthetic experience was led by the amazing Sasha Paulava. It took place at Lume Studios, one of the top-rated spots in the city for immersive digital art experiences.

By the way, admission was complimentary for members of the SUBJECTIVE creative collective, so that was a really cool perk!

GenArt, Wine, and Love (October Edition) 🍷

If you missed it last month, you’re in luck because GenArt, Wine, and Love is coming back. Here’s the lowdown:

Every month, the folks at Station3 NYC host a community-focused celebration of generative art. Fueled by friendly vibes and incredible wine, this event is a great way to connect and create fun memories centered around GenArt.

For the month of October, our hosts at Station3 NYC have partnered with Sotheby’s to deliver an unforgettable experience. You can certainly look forward to sharing a great experience with all the talented folks pushing the envelope of algorithmic creativity.

It’s happening on Thursday, October 12, with limited spots remaining (yup, it’s a real blockbuster). The good news is that this is a three-session event, so there’s plenty of fun to go around. Wanna come through? Reserve a spot here.

MoMA Launches Postcard Project

The Museum of Modern Art has played a pivotal role in championing digital art on an institutional level. With its global platform, MoMA continues to blaze a trail for the appreciation of nascent art forms.

While most people scratched their heads and scrunched up their noses at on-chain art, the legends at MoMA have showcased this space, like Rafiki proudly holding up a young Simba.

Its latest initiative to take the world by storm involves a collaboration with 15 leading artists in the world of crypto art. Hailed as an experiment in borderless creativity, the MoMA Postcard project is a non-commercial yet highly significant piece of the grand mural living on the blockchain.

Each postcard is co-owned and was co-created, stamp by stamp, by all of the participating artists. Spanning 35 cities, 11 countries, and 5 continents, the journey of each stamp to completion was a truly globalized event.

Wanna know why the pieces are called postcards? It’s all about the creative process.

Each artist first created a unique prompt and minted a blank card. Then they designed their first stamp and circulated it like a digital chain letter until all 15 artists stamped 15 cards.

We’ve got it on good authority, though, that a limited set of postcards will be released to the public over the coming weeks. That means you can participate in this historic creative odyssey too! Sign up here for early access (you’re welcome).

Until then, you can view all the stamps and the journeys of the first 15 postcards.

Art Spotlight 🔭

We put out a call for freshly minted art last week, and boy, have the streets been cooking! It’s interesting to see that these artworks haven’t been collected but it sure feels like they won’t stay that way for long 😎

Looking for more of these piping hot mints? We gotchu.
