iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

🏛️ The agora was where ancient citizens gathered to shape policy. Tezos carries that idea on-chain: anyone can run a node, become a baker, and help shape how the protocol evolves. Proposals are debated openly on forums like Agora, then voted on and adopted on-chain. Learn more ↓ tezosagora.org/learn

Rewinding to the earliest work we can share, “Cold Mount by Qartsi”, Objkt 168, is likely one of the very first watercolor paintings minted on Tezos. The digital enhancements are so subtle and intriguing. Enjoy more of their work on Objkt and Teia (HEN). teia.art/objkt/168 linktr.ee/Qartsi

The more traditional side of Qartsi's art brings curiosity mixed with contentment. Peaceful, serene tapestries meet elegantly composed poetry in the metadata. “Between Water and Memory” is a strong example, a reflection over water and rolling hills with a somewhat impressionistic touch to detail.

The scene depicts an old coastal village yet emphasises the timelessness of the landscape. It is also part of the “Evolve” collection. Read the description on Objkt to fully appreciate Qartsi's message behind the artwork.

Weaving chain mechanics into some of his installations, “Designed To Evolve” leans further into the tech, tracing Tezos on-chain governance and “transforming the network's self amending history into a visual experience”. objkt.com/tokens/KT1Em...

Our Gem of the Week is, Qartsi, curious explorer of art in its many forms, who says they thrive where innovation meets authenticity. That explains why Qartsi was one of the very first artists to mint on hicetnunc in 2021. From paint to pixels, manual to coded, there is so much to discover. 🧵

"Scene_01" from the Serenity collection is the "Table Protocol." A dark room, red light on the edges of men's faces down a long table. The plates are empty. It's business being consumed. Many more amazing artworks by OGDSZN on Tezos. Have a great weekend! objkt.com/tokens/KT1La...

Tezos Commons @tezoscommons.org · 04/09/2026

"Stratatide" by OGDSZN is stunning mixed media. Heavy brushstrokes meet rendered voxel edges where water meets land. Then look up to see the sky reflects the landscape back, dualistic and whimsical. The frame by frame glitch pulls the tide in and out. objkt.com/tokens/KT1Uo...

Tezos Commons @tezoscommons.org · 04/09/2026

Our gem this week is OGDSZN, who makes compositional art that glitches and dances. Clouds, reflections, near-identical frames side by side into timelapse glitch. "Beautiful Chaos" makes the corruption the texture. Enjoy and have a great weekend! "Golden Anvil" objkt.com/tokens/KT1Uo...

"Metamorphosis" represents the harsh and wild forces inside love. It is not all flowers and roses. Love holds everything life entails, destruction, transformation, tension and growth.

Fatima's newest Tezos drop, "Isolation," sits with the paradox of modern life. We shut ourselves in little boxes, then get consumed by the chaos in our own heads. Which noise is louder, outside or within? objkt.com/tokens/open_...

Our gem of the week is Fatima. Cinematic photography and AI creations that stop you scrolling and take you somewhere. "The Prison Of Light" reads as a gateway of liberation or a beautiful prison of consciousness. Prison. Prism. Fatima already has us thinking deeply. objkt.com/users/tz1STb...

"Slit Spirals" is what happens when math meets creativity. A feedback loop rendered from one drawn rectangle. Everything past that is recursive rotating slit scanning, a technical path toward sacred geometry like the fibonacci spiral. teia.art/objkt/868707 More on TC Radio: radio.tezoscommons.org

"Rewriting the Logic of Power: The Role of Crypto Art" by ktorn, first published in Virtualia Magazine and now minted as text art on Teia. The premise is simple yet heavy. Rules used to live in laws and customs. Now they live in software. Code is law, artfully argued. teia.art/objkt/878860

Tezos Commons @tezoscommons.org · 21/08/2026

Our gem of the week is @ktorn.bsky.social, a dev who sees that NFTs can do more to empower art. From Hicathon contributions to developing with Teia today. What sets him apart is the code based execution and the intention behind it, without truly seeing himself as an artist. teia.art/objkt/88917

The "Vintage Car" collection shows technical skill and a clear fondness for classic cars. "First Trip" depicts a roadtrip in a rusty Fiat, guitar in tow. The painting comes with a story of sharing songs by the campfire. Tune in to hear about the world of Artnaz firsthand: radio.tezoscommons.org

"Where Silence Begins To Heal" by @artnaz.bsky.social captures something many have lived through more than once. You grow aware of your limits and know it's time to step away, to sit with nature and let silence heal you, to watch the world instead of carrying it, if only for a while. 1/1 on Objkt.

Tezos Commons @tezoscommons.org · 14/08/2026

Our gem of the week is @artnaz.bsky.social, a painter, photographer, and multi-media artist. Expect still life acrylics, AI assisted compositions from physical watercolor, nature photography, and sometimes a bundle of ripe bananas. Enjoy the thread and the art. 🍌 teia.art/objkt/746874

To close this week's thread: "Climb To The Moon," a collab between Obscure Nonspecifics and @yoeshi.tezoscommons.org. A physical painting turned digital, simulated blue light, and a light switch.

"Roar", reads like a watercolor. A woman's silhouette behind mosaic glass, arm raised, hair falling soaked and heavy. The splashes could be water on glass, could be light scattering. Suggestive, never explicit. Daily life in the female form, obscured. teia.art/objkt/883101

A dream within a dream, one more time. "It's A Dream," says life can be surreal, and we should live it anyway. We take the pieces that make sense to us and hold on tight. The ride is choppy. The composition fills in as we go. Find more from Flex on Tezos objkt: objkt.com/@flexasaurus...

As a nod to trash art, Flex renders a moment of history in his signature green dino tone. Chris Rollins, 63 mph, a trashcan down a track, a world record. History carried forward without taking itself too seriously, housed within the "Weird Flex" collection. "The World's Fastest Trashcan"

“Kazimirflex18” - “All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.” Flex reflects on absence as much as form here, with geometry arranged to reflect Zen. Part of the Archflex collection inspired by works of Donald Wexler. objkt.com/tokens/KT1V5...

"Cake," from the 2022 henreunion event, just stands out like Funfetti. Something simply is playful about it. Is it the color that returns to your face with a bite of birthday cake, or the sugar rush right after? Tate R. Tots talks more about the work during Artz Friday. radio.tezoscommons.org

Tezos Commons @tezoscommons.org · 05/07/2026

"Roses are red, violets are violet", made with colored pencil. Refined from Tater Tots' usually abstract, playful art. No vase, the flowers just float. Part of the series, "Peduncular Hallucinosis," which is a rare hallucinatory condition that inspired the style. objkt.com/tokens/KT1A4...

121

Tezos Commons @tezoscommons.org · 05/07/2026

This week's gem: Tate R. Tots, mixed media artist with contemporary painting background. "Faux Pas" looks part deer, part dog, part fox, with a skull-like horned head and a tail that reads as flame. The title plays on "Fake Dance" and "Fox Paws." Enjoy this thread. 🧵 objkt.com/tokens/KT1A4...

#teiamintingparty2026 invites artists to mint summer-themed art on Teia. "Summer Pose" by @odemerge.bsky.social shows a figure in bed, reading, thoughts visible where a face would be. The description says "This is a good time." When summer still meant no schedule, just time to drift and discover.

"Vital Flow" by bettynajafi, renders the abstract as a physical acrylic painting. Medical palettes come alive. Blood through tubes, scrubs in teal and blue, white walls, sunlight pouring in. Or so my mind imagines. Betty painted another bridge toward blood donation awareness. teia.art/objkt/881267

Tezos Commons @tezoscommons.org · 19/06/2026

"Drops" by PixelSushiRobot is an interactive pixel-based heart. Click and hold each block to customize the colors. It shows the technical range of digital art and the organic diversity of the human heart. As they put it, "Everyone has their own shades of heart." teia.art/objkt/881233

"Casa Bonita Psilly Palms," shot inside the legendary Colorado restaurant on a trip with a best friend, glitched through psillyness. It holds the beauty of the unexpected. For those who know Casa Bonita's place in Cartman's heart, a new layer of nostalgia settles in. Minted for #proofofpalm2026.

This Polaroid captures something humanizing. Addiction. Stress. The quiet weight of both. For a species said to have no passions, it cracks a perception built by propaganda. Not nostalgia, but a doorway into something worth talking about. "Secret Lives of Vulcans 001 - Henok takes a smoking break"
