Noctilucent Mementi is a generative chronicle that encapsulates 5 years of Martin Lukas Ostachowski's travels and work with clouds in crypto art. Each artwork is a location-specific memento, forming a visual timeline of the artist's development, milestones and travels between 2018 and 2023, spanning 4 continents and 11 countries.  The term 'noctilucent', means 'luminous in the dark' and references high, invisible clouds. 'Mementi' represents the artist's curated visual memories. In MLO's words, "Noctilucent clouds are invisible memories, glowing when revisited." For MLO, clouds serve as a medium for speaking about the way that we transform and preserve intangible presences, both through personal memory and through digital wallets. In this, his first serial collection, MLO celebrates 5 years of artistic evolution since the creation of his first cloud artwork in September 2018.

Noctilucent Mementi is a generative chronicle that encapsulates 5 years of Martin Lukas Ostachowski's travels and work with clouds in cryptoart. Each artwork is a location-specific memento, forming a visual timeline of the artist's development, milestones and travels between 2018 and 2023, spanning 4 continents and 11 countries.  The term 'noctilucent', means 'luminous in the dark' and references high, invisible clouds. 'Mementi' represents the artist's curated visual memories. In MLO's words, "Noctilucent clouds are invisible memories, glowing when revisited." For MLO, clouds serve as a medium for speaking about the way that we transform and preserve intangible presences, both through personal memory and through digital wallets. In this, his first serial collection, MLO celebrates 5 years of artistic evolution since the creation of his first cloud artwork in September 2018.

Over the last 5 years, MLO has come to be known as "the cloud artist." He began tokenizing his art in June 2018, and has since become a formative figure in the cryptoart movement, making fundamental contributions to the cultural understanding of the medium. His early works use geometric minimalism and artistic data visualization to investigate and educate about the potential meanings of blockchains and tokens. With the piece "Cloud Seed Phrase Visualization" (September 2018), he arrived at a mode of translating data into metaphor that has since become the spine of his practice. In his words, "I find the analogy to clouds particularly intriguing, as we store only the rights to assets in our digital wallets while the actual digital assets remain permanently on the blockchain; the digital assets therefore remain intangible much like clouds in the sky." 

Clouds have personal weight for MLO as someone whose life has been defined by movement and transition. Born in Poland, raised in Germany, emigrated to Canada, and traveling constantly, he has lived in more than 33 different places through the years. For him, clouds are both an emblem of transience and a constant companion. In MLO's art, the distributed nodes that constitute a blockchain become a symbol of hope. This living cloud maintained by shared belief harbors the possibility of continuity for an individual identity through the fragile impermanence of physical locations.

Case File 3: Carnivore

PANIL EDITIONS

No matter the changing of the winds, 
and your directions I seem to forget,  
even in your bitter cold embrace, 
may I still find your warmth yet.  
My worry is not in my safety, 
only that you may know this,  
the cruelty of this winter pales  
to the beauty of your solstice.

Through new eyes, Im seeing the world for the very first time.  
With an open mind, the mundane has become the extraordinary.  
And with new focus, the silence of the trees in the wind has become an orchestra of living music.  
A sigil in the sky, the mark of a new era of discovery.

UAE First Immersion Airdrop - Bryan Brinkman

The paths we take in life often feel random, although many would say they are predestined. Whether we believe in fate or chance, our journeys lead us to discover and connect with the world in ways we never imagined. With each turn, a new branch is formed, and moments that become memories bloom. Blossom is a series of 300 unique generative branches with blooming flowers. Inspired by the tile-work and mosaics of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.

Was the world always this colorful?
 had I simply not seen it for what it was?
 or has something changed . . .
 how every color has become more vibrant
 how every shape beautifully reflects the light
 a hyperreal version of itself
 an awakening.
