Here we’ve got ‘New Found Thoughts’ which is our newest NFT and is available via Opensea on the link below:
Pamela had been having strange dreams. She dreamed of being imprisoned. She dreamed of the bangs of an auctioneer’s gavel and of her being bought and sold like any other commodity. She dreamed of being free like the birds she would see sitting on the wire from the electricity pylon outside her window. Behind all this was the nagging doubt that something was wrong. She just couldn’t put her finger on it...
Pamela was, of course, the first fully functioning AI to be minted as an NFT and put on the blockchain. What will become of her? Only time will tell...
Cheers

Pulpo "the sushiking" is a cute octopus character by german artist Titus Leibing aka TITUZ. As most of his characters, pulpo was firstly handdrawn, digitized and also vectorized by the artist, to bring it into the virtual world. While he uses his illustrations in collages, prints and streetart, this is his first project on NFTs. Each colorversion is created by the artist himself and a unique artwork. There will be only only 33 „SushiKings" in different colorversions available - there won´t be another color run of this design. So hurry up to get yours...
Life Could Be A Dream is a unique and captivating artwork created by combining the power of AI art and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT). The artwork comprises a series of abstract shapes and colours representing a dreamlike state, an idea each individual can interpret. The artwork has been tokenized as an NFT, allowing anyone to own it as a digital asset.

A snap shot of a wheelbarrow found while exploring an abandoned quarry with blue water. Created exclusively for Mintable.
I offer my creation to the gods of NFT. Skin becomes rock. Cracks let out the inner glow. Over 500 layers where used to create this effect.
" The Man and the Cross " is a surrealist digital art that evokes introspection and invites the viewer to reflect on spirituality, peace and the divine.

So Shadu here is our latest NFT and he's currently available on Opensea. Follow the link IF YOU DARE!
opensea.io/assets/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c248420045cb7...
Shadu has been around in many forms since before the first monkeys ever came down from the trees. He is fear incarnate and is the very reason that, in the past, people stayed in their beds during the hours of unknowing darkness.
Today things are a bit different. Electric light has a lot to answer for. Now he is prowling one of his new domains - the digital realm - and he's been enjoying himself trolling some elite players on Apex Legends for the past two hours. They don't know what's hit them. They run scared. Admittedly it's not as amusing as rending flesh with your bare teeth but you've got to get your kicks where you can - he thinks to himself - as he pulls off yet another seemingly impossible shot...
Cheers

"CryptoWiener" conquer the Metaverse in Linz’s OK. With their real pixel works they translate the digital world into the analog exhibition space and create a multi-dimensional experience — a constant shift between the digital and analog world.
Visitors become part of the digital world in the exhibition, learn how to move and communicate in the metaverse, and can take a part of the "CryptoWiener" multiverse home with them at the end. The six-member artist collective "CryptoWiener" has been active in the NFT and Cryptoart Space since 2018 and pioneered the world of crypto art with its early works. In the spirit of ”digital emancipation,” knowledge transfer and skill sharing for all visitors is a major artistic concern for the artists.

1). ITALIA - NUOVE STRATEGIE - Michelangelo ha un gemello digitale e la Venere di Botticelli è crittografata. Corriere Della Sera (14/05/2021).
Niente visitatori o mostre, i conti dei musei più importanti sono in rosso. Gli uffizi di Firenze hanno avuto un’idea: creare avatar, riproduzioni virtuali delle grandi opere, e metterle in vendita. A caro prezzo.
Una chiavetta microprocessore, un brevetto mondiale, una protezione informatica (su Blockchain con gli immancabili NFT a corredo) e giuridica, un’autentica del museo che dà valore assoluto a questi perfetti gemelli digitali crittografati (in edizione limitata) dei grandi capolavori italiani, tra cui la Venere del Botticelli. Non la solita copia fatta benissimo nei laboratori cinesi, ma un DAW (Digital Art Work), avatar dell’originale ben custodito nelle collezioni. Signori il catalogo è questo: Mantegna, Raffaello, Caravaggio, Tiziano, Botticelli, Bronzino, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Lippi, Signorelli, Canaletto e molti altri maestri che il mondo ci invidia e che ora si possono avere (a caro prezzo) in duplicato. Un centinaio (a catalogo) le opere fedelmente riproposte in versione digitale su schermo, in collaborazione con Uffizi, Gallerie dell’Accademia di Venezia, Pinacoteca di Brera e Pinacoteca Ambrosiana di Milano, Galleria Nazionale delle Marche a Urbino, i Musei Reali di Torino, il Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte a Napoli, il Complesso monumentale della Pilotta a Parma, il Museo di Palazzo Pretorio a Prato, la Fondazione Cavallini Sgarbi di Ferrara, la Fondazione MPS di Siena.
Regalo di compleanno
Lo sviluppo tecnologico è frutto dell’ingegno di Franco Losi (una passione per l’arte ereditata dal padre pittore) e del suo socio John Blem. Dal 2017, con la loro società Cinello, hanno sviluppato questo progetto (benvoluto anche dal Mic) giunto a maturazione proprio nell’era Covid-19. Prima opera DAW ad essere venduta (a 140 mila euro, di cui 70 andranno al museo) l’iconico Tondo Doni di Michelangelo degli Uffizi. Questa Sacra Famiglia (tanto ammirata dal Vasari e poi anche da Roberto Longhi ma criticata nei secoli da altri storici dell’arte per l’esecuzione compositiva), con le figure plastiche e imponenti di Maria, del Bambino e di Giuseppe con sullo sfondo figure nude, fu dipinta dall’artista a Firenze tra il 1506 e il 1508 per il banchiere Agnolo Doni.
Opere fisiche ma create da un algoritmo
Il Direttore degli Uffizi, Eike Schmidt, parla di quest’opera DAW non come di un clone, ma nei termini di una “traduzione” dell’originale in una tecnologia. In un primo tempo saranno 17 le opere DAW (su una più ampia selezione) che gli Uffizi concedono a questo mercato, ottenendo da Cinello il 50% sul prezzo di vendita. Certo questi profitti non risolvono il bilancio stravolto del museo (34 milioni d’incassi globali nel 2019, 8,8 nel 2020) ma se i collezionisti si fanno avanti, aiutano le casse magre. «Nel medio termine potranno contribuire alle finanze di un museo, paragonabile ai proventi della ristorazione. Non è un cambiamento di rotta quanto a fonte di introiti, è un ricavo aggiuntivo. Ma la creazione di un mercato di questo tipo non è una cosa veloce», dice Schmidt. «Queste opere DAW (dalla doppia appartenenza sia al mondo fisico che a quello degli algoritmi) sono così un “pezzo” degli Uffizi. Per ciascun dipinto del progetto abbiamo voluto far realizzare nove esemplari digitali identici (nove è un numero ben testato per i multipli della scultura), per distinguerle dall’originale».

2). ITALY - ART 2.0. From the Colosseum to Michelangelo, now Nft is also of interest to Minister Franceschini. Italian Tech (06/10/2021).
The initiative of a collective of politicians, artists, philosophers and curators follows the sale by the Uffizi of a Non Fungible Token of a work by Michelangelo for 70 thousand euros. Italy can play a leading role on the cryptoart.
It all started with an unconventional proposal to say the least: «We sell the Colosseum». The idea comes from a collective of politicians, artists, philosophers and curators (or "researchers" as they prefer to define themselves) which includes Alessandro Fusacchia, Alex Braga, Federico Clapis, Andrea Colamedici and Serena Tabacchi. Let's sell it, they tell us in an open letter published last July, because today it would be possible to do so "without touching a single stone, and clearly leaving the property to the Italian State."
It is not a joke, nor a comedy by Totò: we can sell the Flavian amphitheater, the collective suggests, because to end up on the market and in some collector's computer it would be only his NFT, acronym stands for Non Fungible Token (non-fungible token ), and which defines a digital file created using the computer code of the blockchain. A digital item that is purchased using cryptocurrencies such as Ether or Wax and that exists as a single file that cannot be duplicated.
To create and sell the NFT of the famous monument, many different technologies and skills would be needed: for example, those necessary to create a 3D digital copy of a huge object. Any collection could then be used, for example, for the conservation and enhancement of the immense patrimony of Italian cultural heritage, which in turn can be digitized according to the same criteria and can be sold with the same noble purpose.
It would be just the beginning: behind the "provocation" that touched one of the greatest icons of Italian cultural and artistic heritage, there is in fact a strategic vision according to which "after covid-19, culture cannot restart only with protection of existing assets, because now we have the opportunity to exploit digital and new technologies to enhance what already exists, but also and above all to produce new culture ", explains Alessandro Fusacchia, parliamentarian and member of the VII Commission (Culture, Science, Instruction).
ossibility that the group of researchers is determined to grasp: «The idea is to build a center of gravity - continues Fusacchia - to bring together a group of people who represent different and complementary worlds. And who have decided to think at a systemic level on which legislative, civil society, entrepreneurial and artistic initiatives can be set up to raise awareness of the centrality of new technologies throughout the country. And then their adoption to create a new cultural and economic ecosystem capable of generating wealth and projecting Italy into the future ».
A few months ago, the Uffizi Galleries sold the NFT of Michelangelo's Tondo Doni, a very high resolution copy made with technology developed by the Cinello startup, bringing around 70,000 euros to the museum's coffers. It is perhaps an isolated case, but sufficient to arouse the interest of Minister Dario Franceschini, who has already promised guidelines for museums.
And it is always from the world of art - in this case contemporary and digital - that examples of what happens when culture, technology and business meet. Not so much and not only for the case of the experienced artist Beeple (40 years old), who through the auction house Christie's sold a work entitled Everydays: The First 5000 Days, composed from five thousand images taken in as many days and then brought together in a single picture.
But also and above all for what artists of the so-called generation Z are doing: we are talking about digital natives like the 15-year-old Jaiden Stipp, who already last March had auctioned his first collection of digital artwork earning 20ETH, at the exchange rate of 30 thousand dollars. And who has since sold four other works, then using the money he earned to help his parents pay the mortgage, but also to finance other artists of his age.
Or even like Benyamin Ahmed, who at the age of 12 creates and sells collections of pixelated art, or objects and characters made according to the style of the Minecraft video game, and who had already collected the equivalent of 350 thousand dollars in Ethereum at the end of August.
A new generation that is already fully ready to be the protagonist of that change hoped for by the group of researchers, which is partly already underway and which now requires the participation of all stakeholders to be fully realized also in Italy: "They must be brought aboard this operation intellectuals, artists, operators, startuppers, entrepreneurs, and then obviously the institutions - concludes Alessandro Fusacchia - And we need to understand that if we combine technology and culture, we strengthen both by giving a future to the country ».

Regalo di compleanno
Lo sviluppo tecnologico è frutto dell’ingegno di Franco Losi (una passione per l’arte ereditata dal padre pittore) e del suo socio John Blem. Dal 2017, con la loro società Cinello, hanno sviluppato questo progetto (benvoluto anche dal Mic) giunto a maturazione proprio nell’era Covid-19. Prima opera DAW ad essere venduta (a 140 mila euro, di cui 70 andranno al museo) l’iconico Tondo Doni di Michelangelo degli Uffizi. Questa Sacra Famiglia (tanto ammirata dal Vasari e poi anche da Roberto Longhi ma criticata nei secoli da altri storici dell’arte per l’esecuzione compositiva), con le figure plastiche e imponenti di Maria, del Bambino e di Giuseppe con sullo sfondo figure nude, fu dipinta dall’artista a Firenze tra il 1506 e il 1508 per il banchiere Agnolo Doni.
Opere fisiche ma create da un algoritmo
Il Direttore degli Uffizi, Eike Schmidt, parla di quest’opera DAW non come di un clone, ma nei termini di una “traduzione” dell’originale in una tecnologia. In un primo tempo saranno 17 le opere DAW (su una più ampia selezione) che gli Uffizi concedono a questo mercato, ottenendo da Cinello il 50% sul prezzo di vendita. Certo questi profitti non risolvono il bilancio stravolto del museo (34 milioni d’incassi globali nel 2019, 8,8 nel 2020) ma se i collezionisti si fanno avanti, aiutano le casse magre. «Nel medio termine potranno contribuire alle finanze di un museo, paragonabile ai proventi della ristorazione. Non è un cambiamento di rotta quanto a fonte di introiti, è un ricavo aggiuntivo. Ma la creazione di un mercato di questo tipo non è una cosa veloce», dice Schmidt. «Queste opere DAW (dalla doppia appartenenza sia al mondo fisico che a quello degli algoritmi) sono così un “pezzo” degli Uffizi. Per ciascun dipinto del progetto abbiamo voluto far realizzare nove esemplari digitali identici (nove è un numero ben testato per i multipli della scultura), per distinguerle dall’originale».

2). ITALY - ART 2.0. From the Colosseum to Michelangelo, now Nft is also of interest to Minister Franceschini. Italian Tech (06/10/2021).
The initiative of a collective of politicians, artists, philosophers and curators follows the sale by the Uffizi of a Non Fungible Token of a work by Michelangelo for 70 thousand euros. Italy can play a leading role on the cryptoart.
It all started with an unconventional proposal to say the least: «We sell the Colosseum». The idea comes from a collective of politicians, artists, philosophers and curators (or "researchers" as they prefer to define themselves) which includes Alessandro Fusacchia, Alex Braga, Federico Clapis, Andrea Colamedici and Serena Tabacchi. Let's sell it, they tell us in an open letter published last July, because today it would be possible to do so "without touching a single stone, and clearly leaving the property to the Italian State."
It is not a joke, nor a comedy by Totò: we can sell the Flavian amphitheater, the collective suggests, because to end up on the market and in some collector's computer it would be only his NFT, acronym stands for Non Fungible Token (non-fungible token ), and which defines a digital file created using the computer code of the blockchain. A digital item that is purchased using cryptocurrencies such as Ether or Wax and that exists as a single file that cannot be duplicated.
To create and sell the NFT of the famous monument, many different technologies and skills would be needed: for example, those necessary to create a 3D digital copy of a huge object. Any collection could then be used, for example, for the conservation and enhancement of the immense patrimony of Italian cultural heritage, which in turn can be digitized according to the same criteria and can be sold with the same noble purpose.
It would be just the beginning: behind the "provocation" that touched one of the greatest icons of Italian cultural and artistic heritage, there is in fact a strategic vision according to which "after covid-19, culture cannot restart only with protection of existing assets, because now we have the opportunity to exploit digital and new technologies to enhance what already exists, but also and above all to produce new culture ", explains Alessandro Fusacchia, parliamentarian and member of the VII Commission (Culture, Science, Instruction).
ossibility that the group of researchers is determined to grasp: «The idea is to build a center of gravity - continues Fusacchia - to bring together a group of people who represent different and complementary worlds. And who have decided to think at a systemic level on which legislative, civil society, entrepreneurial and artistic initiatives can be set up to raise awareness of the centrality of new technologies throughout the country. And then their adoption to create a new cultural and economic ecosystem capable of generating wealth and projecting Italy into the future ».
A few months ago, the Uffizi Galleries sold the NFT of Michelangelo's Tondo Doni, a very high resolution copy made with technology developed by the Cinello startup, bringing around 70,000 euros to the museum's coffers. It is perhaps an isolated case, but sufficient to arouse the interest of Minister Dario Franceschini, who has already promised guidelines for museums.
And it is always from the world of art - in this case contemporary and digital - that examples of what happens when culture, technology and business meet. Not so much and not only for the case of the experienced artist Beeple (40 years old), who through the auction house Christie's sold a work entitled Everydays: The First 5000 Days, composed from five thousand images taken in as many days and then brought together in a single picture.
But also and above all for what artists of the so-called generation Z are doing: we are talking about digital natives like the 15-year-old Jaiden Stipp, who already last March had auctioned his first collection of digital artwork earning 20ETH, at the exchange rate of 30 thousand dollars. And who has since sold four other works, then using the money he earned to help his parents pay the mortgage, but also to finance other artists of his age.
Or even like Benyamin Ahmed, who at the age of 12 creates and sells collections of pixelated art, or objects and characters made according to the style of the Minecraft video game, and who had already collected the equivalent of 350 thousand dollars in Ethereum at the end of August.
A new generation that is already fully ready to be the protagonist of that change hoped for by the group of researchers, which is partly already underway and which now requires the participation of all stakeholders to be fully realized also in Italy: "They must be brought aboard this operation intellectuals, artists, operators, startuppers, entrepreneurs, and then obviously the institutions - concludes Alessandro Fusacchia - And we need to understand that if we combine technology and culture, we strengthen both by giving a future to the country ».

Per ciascun dipinto del progetto abbiamo voluto far realizzare nove esemplari digitali identici (nove è un numero ben testato per i multipli della scultura), per distinguerle dall’originale».

2). ITALY - ART 2.0. From the Colosseum to Michelangelo, now Nft is also of interest to Minister Franceschini. Italian Tech (06/10/2021).
The initiative of a collective of politicians, artists, philosophers and curators follows the sale by the Uffizi of a Non Fungible Token of a work by Michelangelo for 70 thousand euros. Italy can play a leading role on the cryptoart.
It all started with an unconventional proposal to say the least: «We sell the Colosseum». The idea comes from a collective of politicians, artists, philosophers and curators (or "researchers" as they prefer to define themselves) which includes Alessandro Fusacchia, Alex Braga, Federico Clapis, Andrea Colamedici and Serena Tabacchi. Let's sell it, they tell us in an open letter published last July, because today it would be possible to do so "without touching a single stone, and clearly leaving the property to the Italian State."
It is not a joke, nor a comedy by Totò: we can sell the Flavian amphitheater, the collective suggests, because to end up on the market and in some collector's computer it would be only his NFT, acronym stands for Non Fungible Token (non-fungible token ), and which defines a digital file created using the computer code of the blockchain. A digital item that is purchased using cryptocurrencies such as Ether or Wax and that exists as a single file that cannot be duplicated.
To create and sell the NFT of the famous monument, many different technologies and skills would be needed: for example, those necessary to create a 3D digital copy of a huge object. Any collection could then be used, for example, for the conservation and enhancement of the immense patrimony of Italian cultural heritage, which in turn can be digitized according to the same criteria and can be sold with the same noble purpose.
It would be just the beginning: behind the "provocation" that touched one of the greatest icons of Italian cultural and artistic heritage, there is in fact a strategic vision according to which "after covid-19, culture cannot restart only with protection of existing assets, because now we have the opportunity to exploit digital and new technologies to enhance what already exists, but also and above all to produce new culture ", explains Alessandro Fusacchia, parliamentarian and member of the VII Commission (Culture, Science, Instruction).
ossibility that the group of researchers is determined to grasp: «The idea is to build a center of gravity - continues Fusacchia - to bring together a group of people who represent different and complementary worlds. And who have decided to think at a systemic level on which legislative, civil society, entrepreneurial and artistic initiatives can be set up to raise awareness of the centrality of new technologies throughout the country. And then their adoption to create a new cultural and economic ecosystem capable of generating wealth and projecting Italy into the future ».
A few months ago, the Uffizi Galleries sold the NFT of Michelangelo's Tondo Doni, a very high resolution copy made with technology developed by the Cinello startup, bringing around 70,000 euros to the museum's coffers. It is perhaps an isolated case, but sufficient to arouse the interest of Minister Dario Franceschini, who has already promised guidelines for museums.
And it is always from the world of art - in this case contemporary and digital - that examples of what happens when culture, technology and business meet. Not so much and not only for the case of the experienced artist Beeple (40 years old), who through the auction house Christie's sold a work entitled Everydays: The First 5000 Days, composed from five thousand images taken in as many days and then brought together in a single picture.
But also and above all for what artists of the so-called generation Z are doing: we are talking about digital natives like the 15-year-old Jaiden Stipp, who already last March had auctioned his first collection of digital artwork earning 20ETH, at the exchange rate of 30 thousand dollars. And who has since sold four other works, then using the money he earned to help his parents pay the mortgage, but also to finance other artists of his age.
Or even like Benyamin Ahmed, who at the age of 12 creates and sells collections of pixelated art, or objects and characters made according to the style of the Minecraft video game, and who had already collected the equivalent of 350 thousand dollars in Ethereum at the end of August.
A new generation that is already fully ready to be the protagonist of that change hoped for by the group of researchers, which is partly already underway and which now requires the participation of all stakeholders to be fully realized also in Italy: "They must be brought aboard this operation intellectuals, artists, operators, startuppers, entrepreneurs, and then obviously the institutions - concludes Alessandro Fusacchia - And we need to understand that if we combine technology and culture, we strengthen both by giving a future to the country ».

1). ITALIA - NUOVE STRATEGIE - Michelangelo ha un gemello digitale e la Venere di Botticelli è crittografata. Corriere Della Sera (14/05/2021).
Niente visitatori o mostre, i conti dei musei più importanti sono in rosso. Gli uffizi di Firenze hanno avuto un’idea: creare avatar, riproduzioni virtuali delle grandi opere, e metterle in vendita. A caro prezzo.
Una chiavetta microprocessore, un brevetto mondiale, una protezione informatica (su Blockchain con gli immancabili NFT a corredo) e giuridica, un’autentica del museo che dà valore assoluto a questi perfetti gemelli digitali crittografati (in edizione limitata) dei grandi capolavori italiani, tra cui la Venere del Botticelli. Non la solita copia fatta benissimo nei laboratori cinesi, ma un DAW (Digital Art Work), avatar dell’originale ben custodito nelle collezioni. Signori il catalogo è questo: Mantegna, Raffaello, Caravaggio, Tiziano, Botticelli, Bronzino, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Lippi, Signorelli, Canaletto e molti altri maestri che il mondo ci invidia e che ora si possono avere (a caro prezzo) in duplicato. Un centinaio (a catalogo) le opere fedelmente riproposte in versione digitale su schermo, in collaborazione con Uffizi, Gallerie dell’Accademia di Venezia, Pinacoteca di Brera e Pinacoteca Ambrosiana di Milano, Galleria Nazionale delle Marche a Urbino, i Musei Reali di Torino, il Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte a Napoli, il Complesso monumentale della Pilotta a Parma, il Museo di Palazzo Pretorio a Prato, la Fondazione Cavallini Sgarbi di Ferrara, la Fondazione MPS di Siena.
Regalo di compleanno
Lo sviluppo tecnologico è frutto dell’ingegno di Franco Losi (una passione per l’arte ereditata dal padre pittore) e del suo socio John Blem. Dal 2017, con la loro società Cinello, hanno sviluppato questo progetto (benvoluto anche dal Mic) giunto a maturazione proprio nell’era Covid-19. Prima opera DAW ad essere venduta (a 140 mila euro, di cui 70 andranno al museo) l’iconico Tondo Doni di Michelangelo degli Uffizi. Questa Sacra Famiglia (tanto ammirata dal Vasari e poi anche da Roberto Longhi ma criticata nei secoli da altri storici dell’arte per l’esecuzione compositiva), con le figure plastiche e imponenti di Maria, del Bambino e di Giuseppe con sullo sfondo figure nude, fu dipinta dall’artista a Firenze tra il 1506 e il 1508 per il banchiere Agnolo Doni.
Opere fisiche ma create da un algoritmo
Il Direttore degli Uffizi, Eike Schmidt, parla di quest’opera DAW non come di un clone, ma nei termini di una “traduzione” dell’originale in una tecnologia. In un primo tempo saranno 17 le opere DAW (su una più ampia selezione) che gli Uffizi concedono a questo mercato, ottenendo da Cinello il 50% sul prezzo di vendita. Certo questi profitti non risolvono il bilancio stravolto del museo (34 milioni d’incassi globali nel 2019, 8,8 nel 2020) ma se i collezionisti si fanno avanti, aiutano le casse magre. «Nel medio termine potranno contribuire alle finanze di un museo, paragonabile ai proventi della ristorazione. Non è un cambiamento di rotta quanto a fonte di introiti, è un ricavo aggiuntivo. Ma la creazione di un mercato di questo tipo non è una cosa veloce», dice Schmidt. «Queste opere DAW (dalla doppia appartenenza sia al mondo fisico che a quello degli algoritmi) sono così un “pezzo” degli Uffizi. Per ciascun dipinto del progetto abbiamo voluto far realizzare nove esemplari digitali identici (nove è un numero ben testato per i multipli della scultura), per distinguerle dall’originale».

Pulpo "the sushiking" is a cute octopus character by german artist Titus Leibing aka TITUZ. As most of his characters, pulpo was firstly handdrawn, digitized and also vectorized by the artist, to bring it into the virtual world. While he uses his illustrations in collages, prints and streetart, this is his first project on NFTs. Each colorversion is created by the artist himself and a unique artwork. There will be only only 33 „SushiKings" in different colorversions available - there won´t be another color run of this design. So hurry up to get yours...
