🖼️ 24 HOURS OF ART 📊 July 18, 2025 🏛️ Christie's Lineage 'Static Trace' by @emilyxxie is distributed as an edition of 100 to attendees of the 2025 @ChristiesInc Art+Tech Summit. The artwork is described as "organic forms and textures fractured by pixelated panels and glitches" by the artist. It was commissioned by Voices Onchain by @a16zcrypto. Via Emily Xie: "Thanks for the patronage and the ability to get my work out in front of an enthusiastic audience." It follows an Art+Tech artwork lineage of the since nicknamed "Lost Robbies" by @videodrome in 2018 and 'Along the River in Auntieverse' by @niceaunties in 2024. 🪙 Visualize Value Systems 'value systems' by @jackbutcher | @visualizevalue sells for 6 ETH ($20,877 USD) to @delronde. The 1/1 artwork was minted in November of 2021 via Foundation and originally collected by ALXDR for 4.65 ETH ($21,036 USD).‍ Via delronde: "This piece, to me, exemplifies the power of NFTs and the movement we’re in. Happy to have picked up a 1/1 in the iconic Visualize Value style." 🏦 House of Gondi Once per week, we look at standout @gondixyz news, loans and sales driving liquidity and offering market insight: Solid as a Rock: At the risk of sparking age old Ether Rock debates... 'Wrapped Ether Rock #71' generates a $150,000 USDC loan at 18% APR over 120 days. Ringer Marked: 'Ringers #59' by Dmitri Cherniak generates a $35,000 USDC loan at 14% APR over 120 days. This follows its sale to a new owner two weeks ago for the equivalent of $92,600 USDC. That marks the loan at 38% of its market valuation, a helpful indicator for loan seekers of similar collections. Mask Refi: Market strength begets loan strength. As you see a collection like 'Masks of Luci' by Sam Spratt surge, you see owners with current loans return and refinance. Today brought three such Masks, each improving existing 20% APR to 17.98% APR on short-term loans. 🪟 Pictured: Highlights - 'value systems' by Jack Butcher | Visualize Value - 'Static Trace' by Emily Xie - 'The Thread of Ariadne' by @Minotaur_Man with @TransientLabs Curated, collected by @TheBenMeadows - 'THE BOX: Door 77' by @g0naji with @FellowshipAi - 'BIOLOGICAL COLLECTIBLE' by @beeple - 'Mono No Aware' by @SamSpratt, collected by @geckospot - 'Ringers #64' by @dmitricherniak - 'Overture' by @mitchellfchan with @artblocks_io @opensea @nguyenwahed 🎙️ Today: Two Shows - We are live with 'This Week in ART' at 12:00pm ET in the 24 Hours of Art Telegram and again at 1:00pm ET on X with a spontaneous 'The DAM Show' game day, as Mitchell F.

“My advice to founders is to build for the early adopters, the folks who are already living in the future. By definition there are not a lot of these people. If you’re building a good enough product for the pro user, it should be good enough for the masses.” -@sandersoncass
