It's literally a dude with sign in NY, documenting the things that “collective minds” have been thinking and feeling but don’t always say(tho I don’t really agree with the collective minds…basically like memes…).

#### [*First AI Crypto Coin*](https://superrare.co/artwork/first-ai-crypto-coin-2607) by Bård Ionson

A AI generated coin made by 22000 images of coins and a group of crypto coin logos, using Art-DCGAN. A prize for a “What am I making” guessing game on artist’s Twitter.

#### [*Sex Work*](https://superrare.co/artwork-v2/sex-work-23229) by Adam Broomberg

This work experiments NFT as an online activism, a storytelling method, both online and offline.

Artist statement: “We live in a society where services are bought and sold. My work, sex work (both on and offline) is one of these services. Providing sexual services should not be criminalised.”

My realisation(may not be the artist’s original intention):

The relationship between those providing services and those (or forced to) be severed. Is this a service or an even exchange? Does this 1 of 1 exist only for the one who purchased? What is the purpose of such 1 of 1 service then? If everyone else can view this too? `34:[] 31:{"id":"5f9fdb01470376bf","slug":"sm3809_a12","title":"SM3809_A12","thumbnail":"a899421041dcc8f23dd50eebddca6690d1a909fb0ac7f0556c77a58a7b75b905","access_level":"public","create_time":"$D2021-04-22T04:22:23.123Z","update_time":"$D2021-09-11T19:23:04.451Z","view_time":null,"first_public_time":"$D2021-04-22T05:01:35.219Z","has_unpublished_edits":null,"fork":false,"stars":1,"starred":false,"owner":{"type":"team","id":"c3d91d7db2867b4d","login":"betahsu","name":"ychsu6","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/197b7792c36f626b9fe391a472486b8b6dc3cf3503a2bb52e365e7916c324a9e","tier":"starter_2024"},"version":70,"publish_version":70,"role":null,"authored":false,"authors":[{"type":"individual","id":"8205ffe96d046f8c","login":"betahsu","name":"ychsu6","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/197b7792c36f626b9fe391a472486b8b6dc3cf3503a2bb52e365e7916c324a9e","tier":null}],"members":[{"type":"individual","id":"8205ffe96d046f8c","login":"betahsu","name":"ychsu6","avatar_url":"https://avatars-next.observableusercontent.com/197b7792c36f626b9fe391a472486b8b6dc3cf3503a2bb52e365e7916c324a9e","tier":null,"role":"editor"}],"comments":[],"custom_thumbnail":false,"trashed":false,"lapsed":null,"subscribed":null,"forks":0,"collection":null,"type":"notebook","body":{"title":"SM3809_A12","cells":[{"id":0,"value":"md`# SM3809_A12\n## Final Projects & NFTs\n`","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"ojs","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"$undefined","database":"$undefined"},{"id":4,"value":"md`\n### GLOSSARY \n

In the past, creators had been forced to choose to go for two extreme, either follow the market flow for living or to take on financial risk. However, the good new is, now with NFTs, the passive role (financial support by governments/ awards or public attention) of artists in the market seems possible to be reversed with the intervene of such low-cost-to-participate NFTs marketplace.\n

NFTs allow artworks in market to serve not only as luxury, but involves positive circulations that create bilateral communication and contribution. Such marketplace also liberates artists who can also further become collector to financially support other artists.\n#### [*HERE IS THE ARTICLE YOU CAN SEND TO PEOPLE...*](https://everestpipkin.medium.com/but-the-environmental-issues-with-cryptoart-1128ef72e6a3) by Everest Pipkin\n
