🖼️ 24 HOURS OF ART 📊 May 14, 2025 ✊ "Culture in Code" Punks Join Node The CryptoPunks IP sells to @nodefnd for a rumored "around $20M" (figure via @nowmedia) from @yugalabs. Yuga retains a vault of 414 @cryptopunksnfts after 5 move to NODE.‍ Via NODE: "This transition isn’t about ownership, but liberation. Freed from corporate friction and limitations, the Punk ethos can now thrive through a decentralized, community-driven future... Under our stewardship, CryptoPunks will remain as the artists intended, while continuing to stand as the defining collection of this century’s defining art movement."‍ Via @mickymalka, NODE Co-Founder with Becky Kleiner: "In the 1500s, they painted ceilings. Today, we inscribe culture in code. The Renaissance didn’t end in Florence. It evolved. So will this one.  Pixel by pixel, node by node."‍ NODE announces a new Punks advisory board led by creators @matthall2000 and @pents90, alongside @ArtOnBlockchain and @GordonGoner. @NaughtalieStone joins as a consultant.‍ GordonGoner of Yuga Labs acknowledges @redbeardnft as a key contributor: "This deal would not happened without this strange red-bearded man, who I’ve come to love a lot... I don’t think anyone believes in NFTs more."‍ What is next for the Punks IP? It is earmarked for "a major exhibition of the full 10k collection" as NODE opens its physical hub in Palo Alto. 🌸 Dataland Illuminates 'Biome Lumina' by @refikanadol and @DatalandMuseum swiftly sells out 750 publicly available artworks for $5,000 USD each and $3,750,000 USD total as their 1/1/1k collection debuts.‍ This cements it as the second largest primary digital art release of the calendar year. It goes on to see an additional 99.07 ETH in secondary volume, with current list at 2.98 ETH. The collection leverages their Large Nature Model (LNM) and each artwork is 3 parts: generative AI data painting, museum-quality 24" x 44" print, and "living painting" on their online platform.‍ Via Refik Anadol: "Epic day for Web3!!
