# The Bat-Signal *Farcaster Art Signal report by J.Valeska* By [Bat-Signal by J. Valeska](https://paragraph.com/@batsignal) ยท 2023-10-31 --- After permissionless, the **Farcaster signal** got lost, **Bat-Signal** is here to bring it to _light_ again. As the OG Bat-Signal is a symbol of **hope** in the darkness of Gotham, the Bat-Signal report aims to be an **art signal** in the darkness of the Farcaster city. * Do you know that in an special series called _Batman: the long Halloween (1996)_, **Catwoman** used the **Bat-Signal?** Blitkin Base ------------ **Blitkin Base** is a cool experiment with **onchain art** made by a **community of 17 artists** inspired by the [Blitmap](https://opensea.io/collection/blitmap) art. Mixing acids and bases every minter will be allowed to get an unique artwork and minting experience. I spent some time there, it was so fun, and I ended up unleashing the [GOAT](https://opensea.io/assets/base/0x7255b0393e5f108377a3f59df86db9fb93f85b8d/76). ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/6cea4f3b2a85f286abe6dd231ca5f948.png) First, you may start with an acid or a base. Then, a random nft and the mixing machine will appear in front of you. Your mission is to mix acids and bases in order to get amazing combinations. (+100 nfts w/ +100 combinations). Will you find anyone of the cool animations or any pure nft like the ANON? ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/cfc39d27ede1be11ae6658d6f7f54908.png) Anon, from the Watcher family. Some of the artworks are descendants of previously minted collections, ordinals living on Ethereum, while others are Base native. I recommend you to [explore](https://www.blitkin.xyz/family/9) the families to learn and enjoy all the original pieces. They are so cool. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/1a566b9cead416bf6b3f0570d1a6d526.gif) Some Blitkin Base combinations.

One Demopepen will be airdropped to every one who minted one of my previous [artworks](https://zora.co/0x471988aa63dddc83d001f1e07982baa2052b4803) on Zora. The airdrop will take place at 00:00 Galiza time. _It is important for me to use the Galiza local time cause of_ [_Samhaim_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain)_, also known as Halloween is a pagan celebration that originated in many celtic historical places, like Ireland, and Galiza. And, no one knows it. But, these origins are important for me as an anon kallaiko (greeks used to call us using this word, when you pronounce it on English sounds exactly the same as when a native galician pronounce it in Galician language, and it is also my artistic name, Kallaiko)._ ### Inspired by Jack Butcher This collection was inspired while watching this _Jack Butcher's_ interview in the **_Zero Pod_** podcast by _The Nouns Square_ collective: [![](https://paragraph.xyz/editor/youtube/play.png)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5fdzCQnQak) Once accepted the call to action from Jack Butcher and having the sketches designed while watching the interview, I came back with this **Demopepen collection** and some **quotes** from the interview. Casted them on Farcaster, and no one minted them. Just read the quotes again and happily continue my journey. _May or may not be notable, make more art!_ ### Approved by Jack Butcher One day, I got a great surprise, **Jack Butcher liked Demopepen!** ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/1b466a5dd7c3c210dd13803ebfbf91c8.png) Jack Butcher likes Demopepen. _Check it on Warpcast: _[_https://warpcast.com/j-valeska/0x59b4aba2_](https://warpcast.com/j-valeska/0x59b4aba2) ### Demopepen collection * _Demopepen may or may not be notable. #1_ ![](https://zora.co/api/thumbnail/7777777/zora:0xa3c756bbadc8f25cce20ea469112abc7c5f57057/1) [Collect NFT](https://zora.co/collect/zora:0xa3c756bbadc8f25cce20ea469112abc7c5f57057/1?referrer=0x016Bb8320189Ac291a488431E7294CCddf6c7d00) * _The real burn is about to begin. #2_ ![](https://zora.co/api/thumbnail/7777777/zora:0xa3c756bbadc8f25cce20ea469112abc7c5f57057/2) [Collect NFT](https://zora.co/collect/zora:0xa3c756bbadc8f25cce20ea469112abc7c5f57057/2?referrer=0x016Bb8320189Ac291a488431E7294CCddf6c7d00) * _There are no magical beans! #3_ ![](https://zora.co/api/thumbnail/7777777/zora:0xa3c756bbadc8f25cce20ea469112abc7c5f57057/3) [Collect NFT](https://zora.co/collect/zora:0xa3c756bbadc8f25cce20ea469112abc7c5f57057/3?referrer=0x016Bb8320189Ac291a488431E7294CCddf6c7d00) * _Want to be a better artist, make more art! #4_ ![](https://zora.co/api/thumbnail/7777777/zora:0xa3c756bbadc8f25cce20ea469112abc7c5f57057/4) [Collect NFT](https://zora.co/collect/zora:0xa3c756bbadc8f25cce20ea469112abc7c5f57057/4?referrer=0x016Bb8320189Ac291a488431E7294CCddf6c7d00) While in normal conditions, the four Demopepens (#1-4) must be offered in sacrifice, on Halloween night the **warps** to the **other side** are completely **open**. Meaning that only one **sacrifice** is necessary to **unleash** the real **Demopepen**. Are you ready to free the beast? ![](https://zora.co/api/thumbnail/7777777/zora:0xa3c756bbadc8f25cce20ea469112abc7c5f57057/5) [Collect NFT](https://zora.co/collect/zora:0xa3c756bbadc8f25cce20ea469112abc7c5f57057/5?referrer=0x016Bb8320189Ac291a488431E7294CCddf6c7d00) **Minting one Demopepen** will qualify your address to get **the real animated Demopepen #5** **airdropped**. _Only on the Halloween night_, starting now and _ending the 2 October 2023, ofc, a very very long Halloween night)_ The Art of Connection --------------------- The Art of Connection is an special artwork made in **collaboration** with the **farcaster poet** [Arjan Tupan](https://warpcast.com/arjantupan). He usually **sweetens farcaster's prose with his verses** and this time he did it with one of my **endless loops**. It was a pleasure to work with him, with no pressure, **only good vibes and art.** ![](https://zora.co/api/thumbnail/7777777/zora:0x8951c2157ccfb4aadf3aa182909961eaba438088/4) [Collect NFT](https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x8951c2157ccfb4aadf3aa182909961eaba438088/4?referrer=0x016Bb8320189Ac291a488431E7294CCddf6c7d00) While a full description on the meaning of this piece can be found in the nft description, I want to point here the four phases of the Co Creation that can be observed in animation: * Joining the network. * A few scattered static nodes. (new on farcaster) * Discovering other nodes. * Nodes start moving and size increased. (interaction started) * Art connection. * Nodes connect and start growing together. (contact trough art) * Community Creation. * Grown nodes moving faster. (creating together) About the Bat-Signal -------------------- This is the first one Bat-Signal report, this time included several updates about some of my artworks, but the next ones will be focused on the more relevant artworks found on Farcaster. While there are some cool artists out there, the Bat-Signal will primarily focus on native Farcaster art signals. If you want to contribute to this project, feel free to reach me out in Farcaster. #### Happy Halloween! ![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/emoji-datasource-apple/img/apple/64/1f383.png) ![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/emoji-datasource-apple/img/apple/64/1f383.png) ![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/emoji-datasource-apple/img/apple/64/1f383.png) --- *Originally published on [Bat-Signal by J.
