Today marks a historic milestone for the Chromie Squiggle Collection, Snowfro, SquiggleDAO, and the entire on-chain generative art community. The MoMA (@MuseumModernArt ) in New York has officially added a Full Set of Chromie Squiggles to its permanent collection!🎉 moma.org/artists/140754…

The enduring significance of Chromie Squiggles itself, Snowfro’s pioneering exploration of code as artistic medium, is what ultimately made this moment possible. We’re grateful for the generosity of collectors across the ecosystem, with special thanks to @kukulabanze & @Noahbolanowski at @1OF1_art , and all donors who contributed Squiggles to help bring this work into MoMA’s collection: @VonMises14 @gmoneyNFT @jdh @ArtOnBlockchain, @kukulabanze and an Anonymous Collector.

Before creating the Chromie Squiggle, Snowfro spent years experimenting with color and light.

From ceramic glazes at La Nova Tile to projected gradients with Light Art and UpBlocks, and programmable LEDs through Sebbo Lights.

The Squiggle brought those explorations into code.

1/ On Squiggle #6529

I would like to explain why we are excited about “buying a Squiggle”

While Squiggles are, in fact, sweet, the exciting part is that every part of this process happened in a decentralized manner.

2/ @aRegularDad proposed a Meme Card to fund a Squiggle acquisition.

81 profiles participated in the Main Stage vote and voted with TDH to mint this as a Meme Card

The card won. 77 paid editions were minted, providing 2.51 ETH for the acquisition.

3/ @cheesebiz and @bankons helped scout and connected @squiggleDAO . SquiggleDAO suggested trying to acquire Squiggle 6529

The price was 3.01 ETH, so @MadaCollects who had been following the discussion, chipped in another 0.5 ETH to the pool (respect!)

4/ The seller wanted to stay anonymous, preserve the provenance (no intermediary transfers) and keep their vault secure.

Ultimately, the seller trusted SquiggleDAO and 6529 network and sent the Squiggle directly to the 6529 Network Museum before receiving payment.

5/ Reminder: What is the 6529 network museum? It is a SAFE vault organized by TDH, owned by the network, a cultural asset, NFTs go in, but ~they do not go out.

It is the network-native concept of a national public museum

6/ Finally, one more step to replace the temporary art on the card with something appropriate for the long-term. Well, another TDH vote of course.

@ricardotakamura won with THE VAULT, a long-exposure light painting made at Casa NUA in Brazil.

7/ So to recap:
- Decentralized network mints a meme card to buy a squiggle
- Decentralized network picks which squiggle to buy
- Decentralized network updates the art
- Decentralized network permanent home for the squiggle

8/ What was my contribution to any step of this project?

Nothing at all. I was not involved at all in any way.

I had a vague awareness that it was happening, but was not following any of the details, let alone helping.

9/ Now, some of you are thinking “ok, fine, that is cute, the NFT nerds are collecting NFTs again”

Maybe.

Or maybe collecting NFTs is a generalizable proof of concept, and there is no actual limit to this primitive.

We will see soon enough.

10/ Thank you to all who organized, the voters and everyone who minted.

Great job by all.
