Tezos Goes Big

I really didn’t want to write this, I swear. I have real work to do, podcasts to edit and my daughter is home sick; but, it’s like holding in a sneeze, when I have something to say it’s best to get it out.

This is not about the @tezos event at Art Basel Miami. It may be what is driving the conversation but this is not really about the displays in a lobby of a hotel.

This is the culmination of years of disrespect to a driving force of adoption and endemic of the crypto space (and society) at large.

Art rejuvenating dead space is not a novel concept. In fact, in Miami, there’s an entire area that could have been used as a template by all blockchains. It’s called Wynnewood, look it up and you’ll get the New York Times article I reference all the time.

What was once an industrial park became a hub for restaurants, music and entertainment: culture.

Why? Because some graffiti artists began painting on the cold gray walls of a concrete jungle.

Did those artists share any of the financial gain brought to the neighborhood? No, but think of the exposure!

Web3 was not built by nor built for creatives like us (yea, I’m putting myself in that group, shut up about it). It was built by boys and men that look, talk and act like me (white, male, presumable douchey based on appearance) but lack a moral and emotional foundation.

They use the right words, have picked up key phrases and platitudes, but at the core it’s not about the things many of us value. It’s not about art.

It’s not about a reorganization of institutions that were built to keep specific classes, races and sexes subservient.

It is not building a utopian-Marxist future where the moral and decent are rewarded financially for their collective effort.

Look at the state of streaming services: Netflix, Hulu, Paramount, Peacock, Max. What was once meant to disrupt the cable industry has now become Cable Networks 2.0.

The same is true in crypto. What started as a revolution has become a hype parade led by influencers masquerading as cultural relevance.

Remember the @TezosFoundation Permanent Collection drama? In a Twitter space shortly after things began to spiral downward, one of the leads made a comment on the criticisms, “if this is the response maybe we won’t do this again.”

We all knew it then.

But many of us came here to create something better. So we, many of them my friends, gave second chances, put a positive spin on it and took their opportunity when it was offered.

I was jealous.

Because I would have done the same.

UNDRGRND is just me: a stay at home dad, taking care of a toddler who disrupts the means of production constantly. I know how hard it is to put together something and share it with an audience.

But so does every artist I write about.

So when we watch people with large budgets, people who are able to make a living on crypto already, getting paid to present the work of others and the result is done with the level of care it takes to hang a Missing Cat poster on a telephone pole, it’s infuriating.

Many of the artists I’ve gotten to know over these past three years were creative directors in their web2 lives. Do you know what they could have done with a fraction the amount of money @tezos has in its war chest?

It’s disrespectful.

It always has been.

I’m going to push post on this in a few minutes and the anxiety is rising. I know others are going to criticize what I’m launching in the coming months.

I’m in a glass house throwing rocks.

The difference is I’m not deluded enough to think I have all the answers or have an ego like I’ve done anything yet.

I’m just a guy writing about the things I like while my four-year-old sleeps on me.

This was never about the display.

It was about the devaluation of creatives for years and the continuation of a broken social contract that promised an idealistic future.

So heed the lesson because we’re tired of this shit.

And I’m fucking coming…

- Founder of UNDRGRND, @NFTjoe

I’m happy to announce my first minted and listed piece on my manifold contract, woot woot :)

live wire

No choice but this in my search for a way forward. Experiment, dive deep, plug right into what's what. No directions on an infinite plane, my decisions only.

———-

Going through some changes atm, after months away from LA, the adjustment has been intense and abrupt, shaking off a lot of the dust from rest, pushing my limits and kicking all the gauges over the red line.

something new, something new, wtf to do…I’m looking for something, something, plug my fingers into the current, zap.

wtf is this all anyways? Just things I want to say the way I want to say them.my questions of right/wrong/good/bad, must be discarded. I am where I am doing what I’m doing bc that’s what’s supposed to be happening. Everything grows, evolves, changes, returns, ebbs and flows…

minted to the blockchain, another link in my story. Love how this new technology allows for a massive story to be told to so many all at once, if only noticed in the massive waves assaulting everyone everyday, lol.

listed at .05eth on a 24hr auction, I’m just curious…will it resonate or won’t it.. either way, on to the next :)

Eggs lobotomize sensations coursing through the gaps between grains of sand as they filter through an hourglass. Silence. The fractals of space coalesce and collide, and in the concussive waves of their collisions eggs tumble out.

Why eggs?

They are particles of transformation.

Phenomenology of Eggs

Being an exploration of the phenomenology of eggs as representative for the entirety of the human condition.

A series limited to 50 1/1s
