Between artificial colors and artificial organisms with @constantdull and @SalomeChatriot currently exhibited at WILHELM HALLEN 5 with @office_impart

Hallen 05 started today … with @constantdull and @SalomeChatriot It’s up till September 15th WILHELM HALLEN Kopenhagener Str 60-6 13407 Berlin

Today we published v1 of the 𝚋𝚒𝚝𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚎𝚝 docs (link in next tweet) that outline the concept, high-level technical details, initial timelines, and more. One page within them I'd like to highlight is the "Origins and Echoes" page that contains references to a number of pre- and post-Ordinals projects. Some explored technical aspects of Bitcoin in interesting ways 𝚋𝚒𝚝𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚎𝚝, some are thematically aligned, and some are just plain cool. Since 𝙰𝚕𝚕 𝙰𝚝 𝙾𝚗𝚌𝚎 2+ months ago, we had been feeling that certain aspects of the Ordinals protocol were still largely unexplored. Thanks to the artists involved, our own thinking around what we were building began to take shape. 𝚋𝚒𝚝𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚎𝚝 *heavily* relies on one of these --- reinscriptions -- both at scale and at very minute levels for inputs and state updates. So a big shoutout to those who helped show that resincriptions can be a powerful tool for creating on Bitcoin: - @huuep and @OnChainMonkey: OCM Dimensions pioneering the use of reinscriptions as a way to update state and do on-chain reveals. - @gobfatherbtc with Game of Blocks: reinscribing your characters to risk and "play" your pieces. - @itsdonnyok: Donny's rat sat 1499676120331756 with 93 inscriptions of different images and interpretations of rats from people across the Ordinals space show how all culture and community needs is just one sat. - @constantdull's work 𝚃𝙷𝙴 for 𝙰𝚕𝚕 𝙰𝚝 𝙾𝚗𝚌𝚎: a retrospective on past impressions of the future in the form of a poem inscribed word-by-word from end to beginning on sat 1770046674022888 over the course of the work's auction. This page within the docs dives into far more projects and works that came before and not necessarily related to reinscriptions. Hope you all enjoy!

Many of you are talking about collecting art and supporting artists, but most of you have faded "All At Once" by @GrailersDAO @singulardotart @verse_works. Good for me! I was able to collect all three (!) works by one of the most interesting artists @miaforrestphoto at the moment (cross-chain with a fantastic understanding of the possibilities of Bitcoin - I love the thought, the light and the play of colours in her work) nitter.siddz.com/miaforrestphoto/status… And one of the most disruptive digital artists (on Bitcoin since 2014) and professor for Artistic Forms of the Digital at AdBK Nuremberg @constantdull "Truth: I don’t always understand his complex and conceptual work, but his playful approach always draws me in and makes me curious to learn more. He’s like the Maurizio Cattelan of Web3—a digital prankster." - @verse_leyla

All at Once 6pm BST ⇥ The auctions for works by @rheaplex, @otograf_jp, @MonkMatto, and @JennMcCoySpace @mccoyspace will end in 10 minutes. 7pm BST ⇥ The auctions for works by @rudxane1, @constantdull, @SarahMeyohas, and @miaforrestphoto will end in 1 hour and 10 minutes.

In gentle glow, memories on blast. 1st half of CSS nostalgia with commented code reverse published in reference to ambitions of early @ascribeIO work. Final auction minutes: verse.works/series/tbd-by-co… Live view visible here: ordinals.com/inscription/63b…

Can we publish an artwork in a reverse order? Not like a prequel to a movie, more like ending a sentence now but starting it in the future? The immutable will not be immune to a change of context, nothing lasts forever. - Constant Dullart @constantdull Below extract of THE 2024 Presented by @GrailersDAO and @singulardotart 👇

Those of you keeping an eye on new inscriptions may see something of an ongoing performance by us with Constant's work for All At Once...

I appreciate @constantdull for many reasons, but mainly because he disrupts the norm. Truth: I don’t always understand his complex and conceptual work, but his playful approach always draws me in and makes me curious to learn more. He’s like the Maurizio Cattelan of Web3—a digital prankster. His new work on Verse is no different. It’s full of surprises. We can only show a limited view of it, but Constant likes keeping some mystery. Check it out here 👇 presented by @GrailersDAO and @singulardotart

Constant Dullaart THE, 2024 as part of the exhibition ‘All at Once’ an exhibition exploring the concepts of chronology and time within Ordinal sequencing by @GrailersDAO @singulardotart at @verse_works Auctions conclude on Wednesday, June 26th at 1-2pm ET. @constantdull THE, draws on Brian Droitcour’s 2009 review of Dullaart’s Readymades. The review proclaimed it to be a ‘study of the relationship of the index to its referent’. The work asks us to contemplate the relationship between the inscription from the blockchain to the artwork, and vice versa. Can the work exist beyond a single inscription? One can be nostalgic for a time in which we regarded the future differently. verse.works/exhibitions/all-…

'All at Once' artworks are LIVE Early blockchain Artists (pre-Eth) and native Ordinal ones have been invited to rethink chronology within ordinal sequencing The auctions for the 1/1s will commence on 24th, @hahajohnx 24hr ranked auction starts on 20th. verse.works/exhibitions/all-…

#ai: what you call weird is kitsch, what you call kitsch might be weird. Here's the transcript of a talk given at the Hidden Layers conference on the 14th of June: silviolorusso.com/publicatio…

GrailersDAO X Singular on Bitcoin Art history has long been fixated on chronology, perhaps to a fault. ⬗ Which development preceded another? ⬗ Which artist did it first? ⬗ Where did an idea begin? With blockchains we can track provenance with an exactitude to an extent far greater than has ever previously existed in art history. All at Once, an exhibition curated by GrailersDAO and Singular, questions the value in this, and what might be lost in the mechanical nature of clarity and certainty. All at Once instead asks: ⬗ How can artists question the confines of chronology? ⬗ How can artists transform the blockchain into a dynamic medium in its own right? ⬗ How can artists think about and challenge the temporality of the blockchain, the numerology of Ordinals, the technology and theory that underpins the decentralised network? All at Once will bring together 9 artists, ranging from Ordinal native artists to those whose previous work has direct links to the history of creation on the Bitcoin Blockchain, including the artists widely credited with doing some of the first inscriptions back in 2014. A few will be making their Ordinal debut. ⬗ Rhea Myers @rheaplex ⬗ Sarah Meyohas @SarahMeyohas ⬗ Matto – Shinkai @MonkMatto ⬗ rudxane @rudxane1 ⬗ Mia Forrest @miaforrestphoto ⬗ Oto @otograf_jp ⬗ John Provencher @hahajohnx ⬗ Constant Dullaart @constantdull ⬗ Kevin & Jennifer McCoy @mccoyspace @JennMcCoySpace 🧵🪡 ↓
