I am unspeakably grateful. These works, the ones I'm putting out to the public this week, are challenging! They don't employ the instantly digestable meme-vernacular; they build their own language and demand viewers' time. They're not techno-optimist congratulatory; they're pretty dark. They don't look like most things that are easily lumped into a "fine art" basket. But a significant number of people in this space and the trad art space invested the time to fully experience this work while it was on display at @nguyenwahed, and they GOT IT.💡 And a small number of those people – a cabal, if you will – had enough conviction to support the work in this very generous way that will help me to keep pushing boundaries for a long time. After all this work is out in the public, I'll talk a little bit more about what that future roadmap looks like. For now, hold on, clear some time out of your schedule this week, and enjoy this artwork.

🖼️ 24 HOURS OF ART 📊 July 16, 2025 🎮 Contemporary Video Game 'Zantar' by @mitchellfchan sells for $300,000 USD to a private collector via @nguyenwahed. Shown at the 'Insert Coin(s)' Exhibition at Nguyen Wahed, it is the fully playable video game centerpiece of a series of interactive artworks, 'The Zantar Triptych'. The game is framed by a story of technology's impact on a young man's life. In the words of artist Mitchell F. Chan, if art has a duty “it is to render visible the conditions in the world which are ubiquitous but otherwise invisible". Via @miminguyenmimi of Nguyen Wahed: “It’s exciting when collectors embrace gaming as artistic medium, recognising its potential to truly transform how we experience and participate in contemporary art.”‍ The first interactive artwork collection in the Triptych - 'Overture' - debuts with @artblocks_io and @opensea on Thursday. 🏛️ Sotheby's Recap 'Contemporary Discoveries' auctions conclude at @Sothebysverse, as 23 Lots sell out for $337,058 USD in total.‍ Highlight Sales (in USD): - 'CryptoPunk #6425' by @larvalabs: $114,300 - 'INNERSPACE' /2 by @beeple: $60,960 - '3546 Loopify Lane' by @lphaCentauriKid: $35,560 - 'Emerging Face - Neural Net Imagined Portrait (644 Strokes)' by @VanArman: $33,020 - '𝘴ᴏɴ 𝔴ʜᴀᴛ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ʏᴏᴜ 𝚍0ɴᴇ 𝔀ɪᴛʜ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴏɴᴇ 𝘄ɪʟᴅ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘʀᴇᴄɪᴏᴜ$ ɢᴀ ₥ ᴇ ᴏꜰ ʟɪꜰᴇ' by @m0dest___: $33,020 - '#44 The Bluffer' by @DesLucrece: $12,065 - 'Confession I: I don't want to hide anymore' by @DrifterShoots: $5,715 - '"Rising" 2018' by @CharlesCsuri: $5,080 - 'DeepDream Classic 00' by Alex Mordvinstsev: $3,810 - 'Realiti #3' by @tyaagnliu: $3,810 - 'Kirlian' by @rainisto: $3,302 - 'Quantum Climates' by @LibbyHeaney: $3,302 - 'Dave' by @osinachiart: $3,048 - 'Oscillating, On The Oustide' by @tonywallstrom: $3,048 - 'Blue Waterlily' by @miaforrestphoto: $2,794 - 'Fragmented Memories of Grasmere' by @danoramas: $2,794 - 'APB' by @margaretonline: $2,159 - 'Parallax' by @Jesperish: $2,159 - 'Sirens calling to Odysseus' by @kev_esh: $2,159 - 'DK Dance' by @8thproject1: $2,032 - 'The Chairs - Silent dialogue #1 & #2 by @_sigmaX_: $1,270 - 'Keyboard' /5 by @seerlight: $889 - 'Killing your ego pt2' /10 by @_dotpigeon: $762 🪟 Pictured: Highlights - 'Zantar' by Mitchell F.
