This is the next big generative art release from <a class="notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover" style="color:inherit;cursor:pointer;text-decoration:inherit;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://twitter.com/vivid_ordinals" data-token-index="1" tabindex="0"><code>VIVID Gallery</code></a>. It follows their last drop in June, which was the first one to break the 7-drop sellout streak they’d kept since launching.With this in mind, it seems, they’re changing their sales structure in a big way./aligned, a collab between experienced NFT artists <a class="notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover" style="color:inherit;cursor:pointer;text-decoration:inherit;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://x.com/maxwellived" data-token-index="5" tabindex="0"><code>Tim Maxwell</code></a> and <a class="notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover" style="color:inherit;cursor:pointer;text-decoration:inherit;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://x.com/enrico_penzo" data-token-index="7" tabindex="0"><code>Enrico Penzo</code></a>, will be the inaugural release under the platform’s new <a class="notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover" style="color:inherit;cursor:pointer;text-decoration:inherit;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://twitter.com/vivid_ordinals/status/1819063732280217772" data-token-index="9" tabindex="0"><code>Chefs d’Œuvre</code></a> line, where artworks with multiple outputs from a single algorithm will be sold as 1/1s.So /aligned will be a 1/1 with 542 different variations. Instead of selling 542 different outputs to hundreds of people like we’re used to with gen art auctions, here a single buyer will collect every variation.I know not how this will play out, but I welcome the innovative distribution when gen art sales are in the dirt.It also doesn’t hurt that the collection’s trippy black-and-white architectural loops are right up my alley.
