I enjoyed chatting with Seth Goldstein, Bright Moments founder, last week. Listen to the episode below.

Last week was highlighted by Themes and Variations by Vera Molnar (in collaboration with Martin Grasser) via Sotheby’s & Art x Code.
This collection is undoubtedly a crucial point in history, as it represents the first NFT collection minted by the 99-year-old computer art pioneer.
Interesting fact: The code is in onchain (using the Art Blocks Engine), but the 500 pieces were curated manually by Vera and Martin. Michael Bouhanna — Sotheby’s VP ad Head of Contemporary Art — called it “curated long generative.”
Themes and Variations #39 by Vera Molnar and Martin Grasser sold for 17.99 ETH.
Light assumes a profound presence within contemporary art, shaping Lieberman’s artistic practice. In this exhibition, the artist reflects on light as a creative medium, exploring the relationship between his work and the art of the past, and situating his new series within the wider discourse of media art.
