To celebrate the holiday season, we've teamed up with AI collaborative artist Heliodoro Santos to bring you a special Christmas gift. Mint one, get one free... and gift it to a special someone!
Entitled Multiplexing Reality I and Multiplexing Reality II, these new works represent a continuation of Santos' interest in examining the complex interplay between nature, technology and human perception. But for the first time his tropical dreamscapes have transformed into winter scenes, distinct yet aesthetically linked through hyperreal details and vibrant hues.
When you mint Multiplexing Reality I, we’ll ask you to confirm the wallet address you'd like us to send the second work, for free. We'll airdrop it directly to that wallet.
Multiplexing Reality is a limited edition of 40 pairs only, dropping 12 December at 5pm GMT.

ONLINE EXHIBITION
AFTER GINSBERG
by theVERSEverse
Until 12 Dec
As we approach the end of After Ginsberg, we'd like to take a moment to thank all the artists, technologists and organisations who have made this ongoing literary experiment on the blockchain possible. It has been an honour working with Ana María Caballero, Kalen Iwamoto, SashaStiles andElisabethSweet from theVERSEverse as well as the team at fx(hash) and Fahey/Klein Gallery in Los Angeles.
We'd like to give special thanks to the Allen Ginsberg Estate for allowing his legacy to enter the wild and exciting world of web3, where a new generation of writers are using technology to remember and build upon the past.
"Poetry has always been as indebted to the past as it is committed to forging ahead. The future of language and literature isn’t just about generating new work – it’s also about engaging more deeply than ever with humanity’s foundational and ever-evolving archive."
In honour of Ginsberg’s dedication to experimentation and collaboration, we invite you to submit your own creative comments on Ginsberg’s poem, Fourth Floor, Dawn, Up All Night Writing Letters.
A communally annotated version of the piece will be presented, using generative techniques to visualise dynamic handwriting, dancing markings, algorithmic paper ageing and other effects. Inspired by Roland Barthe’s maxim, “those who fail to reread are obliged to read the same story everywhere”, each reader is represented by multiple pen colours and new marginalia, suggesting the crucial act of rereading.
Fill in the form below to have your ideas incorporated into a unique art piece, blending Ginsberg’s historic poem with our contemporary words. We’ll publish this collaborative artwork in the new year to celebrate our collective creativity, and the poetic power of generative technologies.
