WHEN NETWORK BECOMES THE MEDIUM

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Blockchain-based art transcends traditional preservation by embedding creation directly into network infrastructure. CryptoPunks has generated $3.07B in trading volume and achieved institutional recognition from MoMA, Centre Pompidou, LACMA, and others, positioning creators Matt Hall and John Watkinson among top-selling living artists. Networked art maintained by global consensus may outlive traditional museums. The Infinite NODE Foundation is launching a Larva Labs exhibition featuring a live Ethereum node sculpture that visualizes real-time network activity.
