ORIGINS: The day before Valentines Day in the year 2020, just one month before a pandemic brought forth a travel ban that would crash global markets, artist Matt Kane held love in his heart for #cryptoart. The artist was spending those days creating artwork for what became Async Art's very first programmable artwork, "First Supper." Among his creative contributions to this artwork including his greenish skinned "Visionary Spirit of Creation," Kane collaborated with fellow artist Mlibty on assets for "I AM THE TABLE," an NFT that Kane claims to still possess. Kane explains, "This particular design went unminted because collaborating with Alotta Money made me extremely insecure about my own Adobe Photoshop skills. Mine were pebbles to his mountain. We were just getting to know one another through the process of this collaboration. In the Discord, I shared my dank design of stacked ETH coins, and asked if anyone with better Photoshop skills wanted to collab on the legs. I didn't directly ask him, not wanting to burden him as I knew he was very busy with CryptoVoxel commissions. My lapse to ask became all the more silly as we became fast friends as the First Supper collaboration continued. With no volunteers, I decided to leave that extra design out of the original table NFT for First Supper. Three years later, when Conlan and Nate reached out to me and explained the concept of Forever Supper, I instantly thought of this unminted table. I've always regretted not including this design in the original table NFT, but as I've come to learn in life, time tends to reveal greater purpose for our pasts."

MINTING THE UNMINTED: 128 variations represent the 128 coins in the original unminted table design: 32 ETH stacked in each leg to represent the required amount to stake a node on the Ethereum blockchain. Like a table, staking is to become the solid foundation on which everyone working on the Ethereum blockchain depends on. It's my hope that that the artwork's variations become ways for collectors to represent their own values as they trade and update their Forever Supper cores to reflect their sentiment toward Ethereum and the market at any given time."

GENERATIVE: "I wrote an algorithm in Processing to stack the coins which make up the legs of the table. Using the concept of the Fear & Greed Index, 50 is the most stable. 0 being the most fearful contains the greatest weaknesses in the structure. 100, being the most greedy has the coins wobbling, almost dancing as greed threatens to unstake the coins to be cashed in. In order to create the unique cover art for each variation, I repurposed an algorithm I was originally working with in early 2020 that I created to test the limits of Async Art in those early days. On a whole, this is a loving tribute to a period of time that has grown to carry meaning into the future for a global audience, as we all continue building and learning."

I have long appreciated the unique and iconic SmackMan. As an artist it is very surreal and whimsical, but also with a tinge of uneasiness. I mean, who is SmackMan and how did he get his name? 

I am also a proud collector of SmackMan-2 minted in 2018. Reinhard is a masterful painter and crypto art OG who has shown to other traditional artists how to gracefully engage with tokenized digital artwork.

Looking for Satoshi

'Looking for Satoshi' is a project that sprouts from the layers and states I've painted on one wooden panel. From 2016 until 2020 I painted several portraits and minted a few of them on SuperRare. 

This project blends a bit of our meme culture and taps into the ancient craft of painting at the same time. It refers to our current financial state and brings an ode to artists I admire. 

When this blueprint is sold out, I will determine a date on which I will give away 'My two Satoshi's' : 
https://superrare.com/artwork-v2/'my-2-satoshis'-18110 + this particular panel to one lucky collector. 

I will use 'Wheel of Names' to pick a winner. 

To qualify for this draft, a collector needs to :

1: follow me on Twitter
2: add the address that holds the blueprint to a dedicated tweet that will be send into the world when the time is right. 


This blueprint also contains 3 legendaries which are part of the 'Bitcoin White Paper' series. This series will have 13 pieces that will be minted during 2023, more info can be found on the website.

Thank you for following me on this journey. 

May the SATS be with you!

DEGENERATE/REGENERATE #1422

Absolution

There isn't a specific message I intend to convey through my art. I craft my art within the context of a self-constructed narrative, an invented storyline. In this creative process, I employ various elements and a diverse array of tools to build layers. The resulting artwork is meant for enjoyment, inviting viewers to sit in front of it and contemplate. Stepping into the image signifies entering another world, temporarily disconnecting from the routine of everyday life.

The broader narrative surrounding "Absolution" serves as an additional layer of meaning within the artwork. I'm not seeking to preach or dictate a particular point of view. Instead, I aim to present what I've encountered on this creative journeywords and images that provide contemporary commentary. These reflections stem from the perspective of an artist navigating a world filled with AI-generated images and a parent raising children in a world rife with conflicts, where distinctions between right and wrong are muddied by the prevalence of misinformation. As a human being, I'm concerned about the myriad challenges I encounter daily, but I'm also filled with hope in the potential and creativity of the younger generation and in the beauty that humanity is still capable of creating.
