Is Twitter’s Future NFT Heavy? The latest feature allows users to buy and sell NFTs via Tweet

As the internet rages and revels over the confirmation of Elon Musk’s $44 billion Twitter takeover, the social media company gave a timely nod to the future. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this involves cryptocurrencies and NFTs. In an integration that Twitter has dubbed NFT Tweet Tiles, users will be allowed to buy, sell and showcase NFTs through tweets. The feature, which is still being tested, has an enlarged panel for displaying an NFT artwork and offers a click-through button to market listings. Currently, the development only operates with four marketplaces; sports-focused Jump.trade, art-centric Rarible, gaming haven Dapper Labs, and Magic Eden, the largest marketplace on the Solana blockchain. The choice of first partners is interesting not only for the number of blockchain networks it includes – namely Ethereum, Tezos, Polygon, Flow, Solana and Immutable X – but also for the absence of OpenSea, which is often referred to as the world’s first and largest NFT market. The news was...

It is an area sandwiched between four-storey buildings on both sides and has only the remains of a townhouse landscape with alleyways remaining on the north side. Kyoto has many alleys as an extension of life, albeit diverse, and often has a small community. Drawing this alley space three-dimensionally, I thought of a space composition that would trigger family communication. © Atsushi Shiotani Plans and sections © Atsushi Shiotani The entrance is deliberately placed at the back of the alley, the vertical alley space (road room) with a three-story atrium is placed in the middle of the building, and the courtyard is placed at a slightly hidden position to give diversity to...

Where to see art gallery shows in the Washington region

Comment on this story Leave a comment Today’s high-tech art relies heavily on computers, but computers, smartphones and digital imaging did not exist in the 1960s, when Rockne Krebs (1938-2011) began applying the lessons of Washington color painting to art that involved plexiglass and lasers were made. Of course, none of his laser works were included in Pazo Fine Art’s “The Technological Sublime”; they are all designed for large outdoor spaces. Instead, the three-artist show features some of Krebs’ early 1970s drawings for artworks made of pure light. There are also several of the DC artist’s clear plastic pyramids, some of which are partially painted. Van Gogh through a pinhole The idea of ​​both series is essentially the same: to pull shades off the canvas and let them float in the air. Most of the drawings are for “rainbow trees” that would bend colored light around a tree’s crown and outline the leaves in space. Among the two-sided pyramids are those that are mer...

The photographer who immortalized a Pan-African competition

Nance’s photography confounds the nameless and the notable, reflecting the spirit of a festival that leveled boundaries even as it celebrated difference. One of the strongest individual portraits is of Audley (Queen Mother) Moore, a Louisiana-born activist who organized to free the Scottsboro Boys, in the nineteen-thirties; co-founder of the Republic of New Africa, in the late sixties; and lived long enough to address the Million Man march in 1995. Nance finds her in a dramatically draped turban on the tarmac of the Lagos airport, holding out a crumpled Kleenex in a casual gesture that—due to Nance’s timing—makes her look as frantic as Napoleon crossing the Alps. No less memorable are the portraits of families, vendors and even fellow photographers – one of whom falls to his knees in ecstasy as a friend holds his raised arms. Spectators quickly turn into participation. A telling picture of a musician’s practice shed shows nearly a dozen men and women pushing through the door, peering...

How can you achieve contemporary quality of life with this landscape-compatible typology? © Gustav Willeit © Gustav Willeit Site plan Floor plan We knead existing typologies into something unique. With joy according to the method of finding – and not that of inventing. The “Bregenzerwald House” has always had great potential, simply because of the dimensions of the houses, their diversity, and how they were used. Aspects of living, working and storing everything took place in one volume under a common roof. A shape, a body, rectangular, without bumps and constrictions: a precise cultural intervention in a natural space that is treated with respect. © Gust...
