How To Not Be A Flipper | Pattern Retrieval & Co-Creating A Glif (Adam Ilenich)
As exciting as the art market is, let's not beeeeee--e-e-e-e-e like Flipper
In Ep#7 I speak on the palpable buzz I’m feeling across the NFT art scene and why that collective creative energy can tempt us into flipper behaviour. Drawing from Efdot’s “Do’s and Don’ts” for supporting artists, I unpack practical ways to be a genuine collector: explore full bodies of work, engage thoughtfully, tell your own story of what resonates, connect artists with opportunities and resist the “wen” spam. I share my own missteps with quick-profit flips, how I’ve reframed my approach and why intention matters more than access lists.
Then I spotlight “Pattern Retrieval” by Adam Ilenich (asterism.eth), an ASCII/Hopfield network exploration of memory that unexpectedly resurfaced a personal Blokus family memory, illustrating how art co-creates meaning with its audience. I also circle back to last week’s mint: Cities by Efdot x Diid on Art Blocks, reveal my outputs and play with interactive Glifs, crafting small stories through palette and layout. No mint today, but a timed drop is planned for next week (stay tuned). Use the hype wisely, support artists like a human (not a bot), and keep the culture bright.
