ICYMI, @benoit-tokyo and I published a text about โ€œonchain artโ€ preservation for Lens Protocol.

i think this may be one of the most important texts weโ€™ve written so far. you can read it here:

ICYMI, @benoit-tokyo and I wrote an analysis of the digital art market for EIC03!

AND our article is pictured on the website! ๐Ÿคฉ

๐Ÿ›œโ€ผ๏ธ Because the internet evolves at lightning speed, web-based curatorial approaches need to keep up! ๐Ÿ’จ โ€”โ€”โ€” ๐Ÿ’จ

@benna and I (as /lanparty) have recently launched our @hypersub, โ€˜BLOG by LAN Partyโ€™โ€”an exciting new chapter in our curatorial and research journey. We will use this distribution platform to share our exploration of what curation means in the new Internet (Web3) era. ๐Ÿ‘พ๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿค

Subscribers to our HS will get a monthly drop featuring an exclusive, newly written essay/text that dives deep into technostalgia, post-Y2K, niche gaming, and internet counter and subculturesโ€”subjects weโ€™ve been researching for over a decade. Every month, you can expect a co-created artwork from our artist community, a curated selection of cool, quirky finds (sometimes random, sometimes weird, but always in the LAN Party vibe), and plenty more surprises to keep things maxxiii & mush. ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ’Š

I'm still thinking about the conversation @benoit-tokyo and I had with a curator of digital art for an article we're writing about preservation of NFTs.

my mind was totally blown by this discussion and I can't wait for artists to read it. it's an important one.
