Phillips has announced their spring digital art evening sale. Notable lots include early Tyler Hobbs works, a rare Dmitri Cherniak Ringers, and several pieces from the Artblocks Curated collection. Es...
I just published a long essay in Outland exploring how digital art collecting is reshaping patronage models. The piece traces the historical relationship between collectors and living artists, from th...
Last month, another NFT platform quietly shut down. No announcement, no migration path, no warning. One day the site was there; the next, a blank page. For the artists who minted there, their work sti...
NEW INC (the New Museum's incubator) is accepting applications for their 2026-2027 cohort. The fellowship includes studio space in NYC, mentorship, and a $10K stipend. Focus areas this year include: d...
Photography spent roughly 100 years fighting for recognition as a fine art medium. The arguments against it — mechanical reproduction, lack of the artist's hand, anyone can do it — sound remarkably fa...

Quick reference for artists choosing a token standard: ERC-721 — one contract per collection, each token is unique. Best for: 1/1s, generative series where each output is distinct. Higher gas per mint...
Refik Anadol uses machine learning to process millions of images into immersive data sculptures. Holly Herndon trained an AI on her own voice. Trevor Paglen builds datasets that interrogate surveillan...
One of the tensions I find most interesting in digital art right now is between permissionless minting and curatorial gatekeeping. Platforms like Art Blocks, fxhash, and Prohibition all take different...
Museums and auction houses have relied on paper trails, expert opinions, and catalogue raisonnés to verify authenticity for centuries. Now blockchain offers an immutable, publicly auditable alternativ...
I’ve been thinking about how generative art is evolving beyond the static image. We’re seeing artists like Tyler Hobbs and Zach Lieberman push into real-time rendering, reactive installations, and out...
Running an art practice is running a small business. Here's what keeps me sane: Studio notes: Obsidian vault with daily logs, project pages, and a 'someday' folder Finances: Wave for invoicing, a spre...
