    Hi, I'm Matto. Terraforms by Mathcastles was an inspiration for me to believe that NFTs could be a medium for fine art making. Making a video essay about Terraforms was a way to help more people understand it and feel the way I did. Now, after a year of working on it

    Cycles by Material Protocol Arts Cycles by Material Protocol Arts is a network sculpture composed of space and time, a meditation on recurrence and change. Time and its manner of repeating appear as themes in art and metaphysics through the ages. Heraclitus steps into and out of

    Announcement time. After talking to the community, including the @mathcastles devs. I'm launching a Terraforms based NFT project to build a free, open source game dev SDK for the @unitygames engine that renders the Terraform data in 2D and 3D. It's called Hypercastle Explorers.

    Terraforms by @mathcastles is a deep, complex and beautiful on-chain project. In this 10 minute video essay I explain what makes Terraforms so unique, and how our project @hypercastle_exp fits into the ecosystem around it. Clip embedded, full vid on YT: youtu.be/U2xTl5pPHwk

    Terraforms by @mathcastles is one of the most inspiring extremely on-chain projects I've seen since Loot. This is the first output of my realtime 3d visualizer for it. Each token / terrain plot represented as a cube colored by zone to form a floating on-chain megastructure.

    An @littleswagworld art education thread for the midcurve manlets saying it’s “just ai” and assume it’s low effort. 1️⃣ Bosch made a whole ass regular generative pfp collection BEFORE running it through stable diffusion to create the final art

    One of the major highlights of Marfa this year was @mitchellfchan’s talk It was sharp, funny and extremely well constructed. People were buzzing about it afterward. The question of how we make art with technology that means something is one many of us are grappling with.

    One of the beautiful things about Terraforms is that being an invisible multiplayer software artwork they can be visualized in many different ways. Here they are in @night_runnn using the @hypercastle_exp Unity sdk to render them in 3d
