Time for the weekly digest, with 5 things worth sharing from the digital art world…
1. Last week, I shared a brief recap about glitch art, including 9 artists to watch 👇
Glitch Glitch Glitch Art
“Glitch” refers both to unintended consequences and also to effects deliberately designed to make an audience question whether or not the software is working as intended. I think it will also be helpful to consider the glitch in terms of three separate but related forms: 1) glitch as discovery, 2) glitch as aesthetic, and 3) glitch as performance.
2. Last Thursday, I wrote about lending and borrowing NFTs, and a possible effect in the digital art commerce 👇

3. The Blind Gallery latest release - Surreality - is now fully minted and revealed (including the artist behind it, New in Town).

4. Findenza #725 by Tyler Hobbs sold for $1,016,000, almost 5 times the high estimate. This auction was part of the 3AC liquidation, run by Sotheby’s — I’ll write a summary of the whole auction and anticipation next week.
5. Atmospheres by Cory Haber (on verse.works) had a fantastic reception.
This is a collector curated collection, which means you can navigate the output space and mint the one you like (you need a Mint Pass to do so).
‘This series celebrates the beauty and grandeur of vast skies filled with mesmerizing clouds and celestial bodies.’

PD: I'm moving to a new place with a small studio to write and create. I'll be decorating the walls so I’ve been looking into digital frames. This one seems promising —in case you want to showcase your digital art in the physical world as well.
