💎 Gem of the Week
Entangled by Bjorn Staal
Last week, Bjørn took Ethereum and Tezos blockchains by storm with 'Entangled'. This piece exemplifies ongoing innovation and creativity in the digital art space.
256 pieces were minted on each of the Ethereum and Tezos blockchains. Each piece forms a pair, with one part on each blockchain.. To understand the reason why 'Entangled' was released this way, you should look at the artwork - each piece can react to its counterpart in a different browser window.
Also, I find that opening the iterations using the "open popup" button in the mint overview is a better way of experiencing the piece in "real windows".
154
It is performing quite well on the market:
Ethereum: ±20 ETH primary sales, ±6 ETH secondary sales, 0.1 ETH floor, ±30% listed for sale.
Tezos: ±60k XTZ primary sales, ±10k XTZ secondary sales, 333 XTZ floor, ±20% listed for sale.

Introduction to Pixel Shaders by ilithya
For those new here, I've been developing an educational platform for blockchain art and culture through Blind Gallery.
We have announced multiple courses, including the soon-to-be-released 'Introduction to Pixel Shaders' by ilithya. Pixel shaders are one of the core tools used to create generative coded art.
Ilithya, a talented creative coder, has been teaching shaders for several years. She also shares her daily shaders series on her Instagram account. Her course is a step-by-step introduction to pixel shaders, consisting of visual and audio material, practical examples, and theory.
Follow Blind Gallery and ilithya to get notified when the material is ready. I can't wait to get this out!
Until next time,
