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 👇

26 tokens, 0.5 eth. Fully onchain, networked, released on my own contract. Click on the label on the left, metamask will open.
Each token is a different, curated view of the same field. The numbers you see in the field are the other camera positions.
The alphabet has 26 letters, each key on your keyboard jumps to a view. It also switches views once a minute, so everybody gets to experience the same shared space.
You can touch the grass and it will be visible in every view that sees this area of the field. In realtime, no wallet or transaction required.
Field, 2026 leanderherzog.ch/2026/field/
Generative real-time animation. 26 tokens, networked and onchain, built with javascript and webgpu.
On view at @nguyenwahed in NYC from 28 Oct – 21 Nov

On the heels of another incredibly stimulating Art Blocks weekend, I wrote an essay to parse out my thoughts. Cheers to the team for their tireless work and always meeting us all with smiles and warmth. And so cool to see so many new faces 6 years in.

Thinking a lot about this conversation as I reflect on the past few days. Taste, criticism and experience mean something different for everyone and I’m grateful for people like @briandroitcour to help facilitate a dialog that expands my own thinking of what this encompasses.
My favorite part of today: small conversation with @briandroitcour @pixelpete @cutsdatflo and a couple of others about taste, criticality, and making and evaluating art. Huge thanks to Brian for hosting.

Claim site is live. If I was able to save your NFTs, you can now reclaim them. You will have to revoke the PaymentProcessor approval first, if you haven't already.
You may also opt to donate as part of your transaction.

Claim portal is coming together and should be out within a few hours.
Thank you for everybody donating through X Money.
If you'd prefer to donate ETH/tokens, I spun up a dedicated address:
nftsaresafu.eth
In addition to the time spent and yet to spend, last night cost me $7500 in gas, so I appreciate all of the support 🫡

The writing is on the wall folks, these contracts were written by humans. we now have powerful AI that can comb every line for vulnerabilities. I think the time has come to revoke all past permissions and revoke permissions after every use going forward.
🚨 Limit Break Exploited 🚨
Ever traded NFTs on Magic Eden's Ethereum marketplace? Your wallet probably still approves Limit Break's Payment Processor, which now has a known vulnerability.
Check if you're exposed and revoke:

The bulk of the damage is done, but there are still assets that are vulnerable to the exploit. I'm doing what I can to sweep what's left but hundreds of scammers are also doing the same.
Whether you're affected or not, if you have open approvals to the addresses below, please revoke them. The open approvals can and will be used against you if affected assets are returned to your wallet while they're still open.
REVOKE APPROVALS TO THESE ASAP:
Payment Processor V2 on Ethereum: 0x9A1D00bEd7CD04BCDA516d721A596eb22Aac6834
Payment Processor V3 on ApeChain: 0x9a1D00000000fC540e2000560054812452eB5366
use revoke.cash or similar.

Excited to share a preview for a new PBS documentary on our soccer team of Afghan women refugees, the Houston Shine FC, airing in the US on August 23rd. pbs.org/video/the-away-team-…
Hi friends! A brief update to my X family on this ongoing project.
As our efforts to empower the women of Houston Shine FC to use their voices and hold FIFA accountable to their early promises to reunite them with their families, provide general support and get them access to soccer, the organization and their partners have actively tried to quiet them from doing so. They do this under the guise of their safety when in reality nothing is safer for these women then to have the worlds largest organization voicing support for them publicly. This pressure increased this week as the NYT/The Athletic published a story about the situation.
In spite of that pressure, the women have persevered and have gotten FIFA to agree to a team call with them this weekend where they will demand answers and accountability to their unfulfilled promises.
This has largely happened due to the empowerment they’ve felt spurred by an outpouring of support, particularly on via messages and comments via Instagram. This has been no small fete given the trauma they’ve incurred having been separated from their families since many were teenagers and now being expected to provide for their families back home while working menial jobs without access to language education and by extension, continued education.
I share this here to encourage anyone interested in following along and offering support to follow the account and uplift their voices.
🙏

if you’re making websites with claude code please for the love of god take an extra few minutes to define a unique aesthetic. i immediately dismiss any sites using their oob design tropes. if you’re building for an existing brand ffs just load the style guide into the md file.

A little late to the party on reading this wonderful account of the life of a truly imaginative artist, but thrilled to learn that Gauguin and I share such an affinity for the goose.
“The insertion of a goose or two acted as a general reminder of the foolishness of mankind…”

Love this framing from @monkantony_tez.
And has a panel discussion prompt ever set such a stage for continued dialog as much as @trevorpaglen's 'Barbarians at the Gate'?
