Uncoiling the Puzzling Link Between Crypto Art and Twitter
Unless we’re talking about a blind prodigy scrawling shapes in the sand on a deserted island, it’s nearly impossible for any visual artist working today to avoid being wholly, intricately, and incalculably influenced by all the art that’s ever been created. We’re too educated, too aware, and confronted by so much so often. Because to be alive in the year 2022 is to live online. And online, in certain central hubs, artists can’t keep from seeing a deluge of other artwork any more than I can avoid seeing the political laundry of my aunts and uncles aired in public. Try […]

Fine Jewelry Maker Launches Non-Fungible Securities Platform
Crypto’s most recent bear market has people in the NFT space understandably a bit on edge, to put it mildly. But, while creators, investors, and project developers wrestle with these anxieties, those outside of the Web3 world are becoming even more skeptical of all things crypto-related. Even in the best of times, cryptocurrencies have held a reputation for being unstable. The advent of things like stablecoins — cryptocurrencies tied to an underlying asset like a national currency — have done their part in bringing some stability to some tokens some of the time, but the issue remains. One of the […]
The University of Oregon Is Using NFTs to Support Women in Student Athletics
Crypto and NFTs have been leveraged for some incredibly good causes — from supporting Ukrainian citizens affected by war to funding scientific research. Now universities are taking advantage of the technology to help students raise money. Division Street, a sports venture company that helps create marketing programs to maximize revenue opportunities for University of Oregon student-athletes, recently announced the upcoming launch of an NFT collection that will benefit participating Oregon Ducks women student-athletes.

SuperTrans: A Celebration of Gender Variance on the Blockchain
In celebration of this year’s Pride Month, the NFT community has shown up and showed out with a spectacular array of initiatives supporting queer artists and the greater LGBTQ+ community. Although the NFT space isn’t necessarily known for its diversity and inclusion, Web3 organizations have still been doing the most to promote equality without being, well, cringey.

Aptly named SuperQueer, this multi-week initiative bridges both online and physical events that promote LGBTQ+ representation throughout Web3. Kicking off the month […]

Reeves kicked off his string of cult-classic films with 1989’s Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, which preceded an entire decade’s worth of beloved cultural artifacts. It culminated, of course, in the launch of The Matrix film franchise in 1999. In recent years, he’s been in John Wick and Cyberpunk 2077, the latter of which birthed this now iconic clip. To call Keanu Reeves a public treasure would probably be an understatement. However, with Reeves’ latest venture, some have decided to […]
