I have also submitted for voting a second proposed gift/donation from me to the 6529 Network Museum that is focused on Magnum documentary photography. I think it is a good fit (that is why I proposed) and present the case, the counter case and the response to the counter case (all IMHO). I would appreciate your vote in favor if you agree

I have dropped two Storms about my recent work on the 6529 Network Museum. I think they are meaningful reading and I would appreciate if you would read them

gm

I accidentally posted the storm without having finished it. I will continue here with Storm Part 2 There is a section focused on superb museums in relevant fields, initial profiles of them and what we can learn. I need to polish these a bit more but it is a good practice to learn from our betters There is a section on adjacent "practices" that are not museums and what we can learn from them https://6529.io/museum/network/stories/a-field-of-practice/adjacent-practice There is a section with a first draft of what we have learned in aggregate and what we should do https://6529.io/museum/network/stories/scholarship-and-writing There is an educational section on licenses https://6529.io/museum/network/rights There is a section on (over the top) data architecture where we will aim to match up with all the major art / collection / museum ontologies. I am going to try to incorporate the relevant ones into Stream as well https://6529.io/museum/network/methodology/data-architecture I also have a broader learning program for collectors and artists in mind and will be shipping a draft in the next week. A museum is curation and education and scholarship and preservation. It is not just "we bought some NFTs" and we should set our standard at the highest possible levels. I know that word "museum" is thrown around a lot in this space and it is generally nothing of the sort. This is not our goal here - our goal here is to be the defining institution for Art of the Network. I would say I am like 70% done of what I consider is a first draft of the concept to help everyone else wrap their head around it. I think then we will need everyone's contribution to move this forward, on all the dimensions above. We have good collections and an amazing set of knowledgeable artists that in principle can help us take this to a very high level

I am writing with an extensive update on the 6529 Network Museum. I will try to cover it at a high level through a storm, but it is also quite a bit of progress and work so I may not cover it all in 1-shot. I encourage you to explore. I would also note that I am not fully done, there are things I want to polish, but I think it is far enough along that you will understand the goals and style and vibe First thing, you can see there is a top level section of the website focused on this topic. https://6529.io/museum/network I think this page is a reasonable first draft of the goals and operating style of the museum. I think it is worth a read https://6529.io/museum/network/about All the material on the website is coming from a 'governed' and 'versioned' and 'transparent' content management system. Specifically, this github: https://github.com/6529-Collections/6529networkmuseum Every change is visible as a PR, there is a versioned history of every change and anyone can submit PRs to improve every change. For now, we keep the same dev team maintainers to approve PRs for the usual reasons but in time this will move to a network approach I have made the first gift to the museum, using the decision we have made to accept Art Blocks gifts and this is a collection of 7 Casey Reas pieces. Casey is a foundational artists in the generative art space and I think this is a small but intellectually focused initial gift https://6529.io/museum/network/gifts/6529NM.2026.001 Each piece has a detailed analysis of the piece, along with a live viewer of the generative work https://6529.io/museum/network/collection/6529NM.2026.001.01 Each collection has a detailed analysis of the collection along with some great tools (imho) to analyze the collection. I want to polish these visualization tools over the next week but you can already have some fun with them and see the potential https://6529.io/museum/network/projects/century/system These is a page on Casey https://6529.io/museum/network/artists/casey-reas I am going to make my proposed second gift in a few minutes of some Magnum documentary photography to show my view of what the treatment should be on photography, as opposed to generative art. Having gone through this formalized accession process and designing it from scratch, I believe all gifts should pass through a TDH vote even from "pre-approved" collections to review the curation and scholarship behind the gift The SAFE is not just another wallet with cool NFTs. A museum should do curation and scholarship and the donor should have a theory behind what they are doing and we should review it. You will see in the photography donation I propose what I think a good format would be for a donation - the coherent case for the collection (or piece), details about the pieces and then I have written a case: a) for accepting the donation, b) a counter-case for rejecting it and c) a response to the countercase. Again, I would like to emphase that this is extremely important that the 6529 Network Museum works with the level of rigor of the top museums in the world. This is the standard we should hold ourselves too. We can have members of the community and AI-driven donor/collector tools that will help us reach and maintain this standard There are thousands of nice solo or group NFT wallets in the world. A wallet is not a museum. A museum does education and scholarship and I would like to use the first few donations and Keys and Gates to set the standard at the level we should expect of ourselves I have made an initial page for Keys and Gates. We now need to work with the artists in Keys and Gates to prepare the package to this standard. In parallel, I am working on Stream so we can mint it there. For now, we show the results in the pre-minted, pre-acceded stage https://6529.io/museum/network/programs/6529NM-AP-01

gm everyone

it is a very big deal

the very specific short-term tailwind is now my ideas are actually implementable by agents in reasonable time frames as opposed to requiring building and managing a large human organization

made huge progress this week

or more tangible than before

i will make what i have in mind clear

by tomorrow, worst case friday

for example, i think as a "one thing we do, not all things we do" we can build a very important next generation museum, that has a completely different structure

let alone "you can stand on NFTs and build a new form of organization or society"

"collectibles"

"digital art"

99.999% of people do not understand or care about NFTs in the basic case yet

waves hands around at "all this"

how many people believe NFTs will actually change the world?

people have not even understood 1% of how revolutionary I am yet

last time I checked, I am very much alive

why the past tense

1/ Freedom To Transact 2/ Seize The Memes of Production 3/ NFT Delegation 4/ Don't Let The Institutions Steal Your JPGs 5/ Art of the Network All were first a thread months or years before they spread. Freedom to Transact made it into a DJT and JFK Jr speech It is all good. just like I was right about those, I will be right in the end about everything, including the biggest idea of all

get it

good guys

it is jack and jalil

https://x.com/punk6529/status/1882571491600154939

you will never guess where they got the name from :slightly_smiling_face:

will be far enough along to do a walk through tomorrow i think

making immense progress and having immense fun on the network museum

@[prxt0] i did it last night overnight and had it look at your PR to steal your ideas too

It is usable now. The accelerated release pipeline is live, deployed, and fully qualified. PR validation: 45m09s → 12m23s (73% faster) Actionable quality/browser feedback: within 4m39s Production deployment: 22m12s → 5m58s (73% faster) Merge → production: 27m47s Merge → fully E2E-qualified production: 30m47s Production E2E execution: 82.6s Museum suites: omitted from PR, staging, and production when Museum paths are untouched Transient failure handling: retries only the failed pack once, not the entire suite Production builds: immutable artifact built concurrently with staging, then promoted without rebuilding Caching: pnpm, Playwright, and profile-isolated Next.js caches Runner upgrades: configurable labels are ready; larger GitHub-hosted runners are not currently available to the organization

forgot tot post this

cheap

I think we can start with some easier things

it is going great

will be able to demo some cool things tomorrow

the scholarship side is going well

i think it is going to be pretty awesome

is it starting to make sense to you?

ok steady progress on network museum work - have another three waves of work that will finish overnight or in the morning and then I will think it is a decent first attempt and we can talk about it :slightly_smiling_face:

just filter it to releases that touch the museum pages and don't run it on releases that don't touch it it makes zero difference to me when I am pushing to museum if it takes 6 minutes or 10 minutes since anything I do with museum pages is anyway a multi hour project where I am doing 100 other things in parallel. and while efficiency on CI is important, I also note that I always wonder why anyone even knows if the CI takes 6 minutes or 10 minutes but I have no objective if it does not run on PRs that do not touch that section

They are in progress and should land today

i have a series of plans for the Museum pages

Among the code, the adrs and the issues it is all there
