The Weekly: Shapes, Circles, and Black Holes

The Weekly: Shapes, Circles, and Black Holes
  1. Patrick Amadon unveiled VeilPNG an open-source utility designed to hide encrypted data within PNG images – admits that its not built for Web3 yet still submits the idea to Transient Labs app grant contest – because well...money.
  1. Iggy Azalea teased the release of a sex toy – $MOTHER and lube, Solana's oedipal cure for male loneliness – please, send it to zero.
  1. Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst’s exhibition for “The Call” opened at Serpentine UK this week — proving that AI art is capable of being both audibly and visually disquieting.
  1. Photographer Joanna Hollings shared what appears to be new commercial work for Fabletics in posts that netted a combined 32 bookmarks – presumably from followers that love fall colors.
  1. Noah Bolanowski's tumblr sleuthing resulted in dozens of fervent XCOPY fans purchasing "nothing" from an inactive mint link; participants raved, describing the experience as conceptual art – I suppose if speculatively throwing money away is considered conceptual art, Pak really is the greatest conceptual artist of our time.
  1. Circle launched on Shape this week as the first-to-market memecoin for the new L2 — deployed a first-of-its-kind circular “chart” so entrancing that even the best traders could be soothed into round tripping.
  1. Chikai launched the private beta for his new project “Postinos,” a collection of “digital collectible AI stamps” — according to early reviews, the stamps possess similar emotional depth to that of his cinematic AI shorts. 
  1. Transient lab released a new app “Handshake” and Eli Scheinman wasted no time before proposing an agreement with entirely self-serving terms —  tell me that you work for Yuga without telling me that you work for Yuga. 
  1. CryptoTwitter suddenly realized that the feds are in the trenches after a new indictment revealed a fed created token sting — so who’s gonna tell ‘em about miladys? 
  1. DeeKay experienced a devastating loss as all of his wallets were emptied via clean transactions after a presumed seed phrase leak — the smallest of silver linings: wallet hacks do quite well to deter robberies, extractive relatives, and future over-supply FUD.
