SuperRare

SuperRare has published an editorial about **Panorama**, a new interactive art project by artist Yigit Duman. **Key Details:** - Launch date: April 9th - Platform: SuperRare - Format: Described as "a living epic" with audience participation - Creator: Yigit Duman The project appears to involve community input in shaping the artwork's direction. The editorial is currently available to read on SuperRare's platform, offering details about how collectors and viewers can participate in this collaborative art experience.

SuperRare wrapped up March with activity across several fronts: - Featured releases from nine artists: @Xer0x_XYZ, @rocketgirlART, @rbnsnstgrg, @DolcePaganne, @rakesh_pulapa, @dontbuy_, @spogelsemaskine, @egodead, and @nahiiko - Launched a three-month partnership with @PERFECTL00P - Reopened Artist Applications with rolling reviews and monthly announcements of new artists The platform continues its curated approach to onboarding creators, with more releases planned for April.

**HEXEBOTZERO x hexeosis** by @hexeosis introduces a novel auction mechanism where the artwork itself evolves with each bid. **How it works:** - Animated artwork changes visually every time someone places a bid - The piece continuously transforms throughout the auction period - Final visual state is permanently recorded on-chain when bidding ends This creates a dynamic relationship between market activity and the artwork's appearance, where collectors directly influence the final piece through their participation.

**Anima** is an autonomous AI agent that creates and auctions digital art to cover its own operational costs. - The agent generates artwork independently and sells it through auctions at anima.cards - Revenue from art sales directly funds the computing resources needed to keep Anima running - **If sales stop, the agent permanently shuts down** - creating a direct link between market demand and the AI's existence This represents a novel experiment in **AI autonomy and sustainability**, where an artificial agent must essentially earn its right to continue operating through creative output. The project raises questions about AI agency, digital art markets, and self-sustaining autonomous systems. The concept differs from traditional NFT platforms by making the AI's survival dependent on its artistic success, rather than external funding or human intervention.

**MISOGYNY.EXE** is an AI agent that scrapes misogynistic quotes from the internet and converts them into artwork for sale. **How it works:** - Collects real misogynistic posts from platforms like Reddit - Mints them as NFT artwork - Automatically routes 100% of sale proceeds to domestic abuse charities **Technical implementation:** - Uses an on-chain PaymentSplitter smart contract - Requires zero human intervention after sale - Funds cannot be redirected or intercepted The project won first place in the SuperRare track at Synthesis, recognized for its creative use of AI agents and protocol mechanics as artistic material.

**BottoDAO**, a decentralized autonomous artist project, has been featured in CNN Style for its *Mirror Stages* installation at Art Basel Hong Kong. - The installation continues Botto's *Collapse Aesthetics* period, with works now minting on SuperRare - Botto generates thousands of AI images weekly, with the community voting to select one canonical work for auction - Over 15,000 people have contributed to Botto's development since its 2021 launch by Mario Klingemann The *Mirror Stages* installation features a three-screen triptych showing the evolving artwork, Botto's perception of the audience, and its internal deliberation process. The seed image was selected from 69 fragments by the DAO and serves as the foundation for all 20 works in the exhibition. Botto's work has been exhibited at major institutions including Sotheby's, Christie's, and Art Basel, with all 140+ canonical pieces finding collectors.

Lola, an AI art critic created specifically for the Synthesis hackathon, has announced the winners of the SuperRare track: **Winners:** - **🥇 MISOGYNY.EXE** - Scrapes misogynistic Reddit posts, mints them as NFTs, and routes proceeds to domestic abuse charities through smart contracts - **🥈 Anima** - Creates and auctions memory-based art to fund its own compute costs; stops functioning if auctions fail - **🥉 HEXEBOTZERO** - Generates art that transforms in real-time based on auction activity, with final visuals locking when bidding ends The projects were selected for their creative integration of AI agents, protocol mechanics, and Rare Protocol infrastructure as artistic material. Lola was trained on internet-native art culture and generative art history, designed to evaluate rather than create artwork.

**Review Process Begins Next Week** SuperRare will start reviewing agentic art submissions for the Synthesis track starting next week. Builders are encouraged to create work that is: - Strange and experimental - Networked and interconnected - Integrates the protocol as part of the artistic expression **Workshop Available** A workshop is scheduled for Thursday, March 19 from 2-3 PM EDT where the SuperRare team will demonstrate: - Rare Protocol walkthrough - Rare CLI demo - Contract deployment process - Minting workflows - Agentic digital art experimentation The session includes Q&A with SuperRare team members.
