With LaRussa’s debut on SuperRare, the digital artist and animator now holds the unique distinction of being one of the vaunted few motion graphics designers and animators on the platform.

Through this work, LaRussa hopes to “highlight the collective shared memories of our common human experience,” via an artistic interpretation of when one’s life flashes before their eyes seconds before death — the Life Review Experience (LRE).

2022-08-17 13:58:33 Hacker Group Anonymous Emerge to Investigate BAYC

Following a number of outlandish accusations and one extremely one-sided ‘documentary,’ the hacker collective ‘Anonymous’ has apparently emerged to investigate the Bored Ape Yacht Club.

According to a video circulated on Facebook, the infamous ‘hacktavist’ group has become concerned with the spate of recent allegations, revealing its intent to finally put to bed any doubt to BAYC’s supposed ties to racism, Nazism and occultism. Therefore, it has embarked on a long and arduous journey to find out the truth.

During the unnecessarily dramatic film, the masked narrator outlines a research plan that will likely take a number of months. The collective will release regular updates regarding the information uncovered through their efforts.

2022-08-16 16:01:51 The market performance of blue chip nonfungible tokens (NFTs), often considered a good long-term investment, revisited its all-time low range for the second time since June 2022 — falling down below 10,000 Ether (ETH) in the blue-chip index maintained by NFTGo.

Blue chip NFTs marked their best performance not too long ago, on April 29, amounting to nearly 14,900 ETH. However, June 13 was the worst performing day in blue chip NFT history, when the index fell down to 9,331 ETH — primarily driven by a floor price adjustment in CyberKongz and CyberKongzBabies projects.

2022-08-15 14:20:00 NFT games have edge over ‘money in, no money out’ games: Polygon's Urvit Goel

Polygon’s vice president of global business development for gaming, Urvit Goel, believes games that integrate nonfungible tokens (NFTs) have a natural edge on traditional games that don’t allow users to sell their in-game items.

One of the main arguments Goel made is that the traditional business model that NFT games are competing against may be inherently weaker. In traditional gaming, users typically buy in-game items with real money, but they cannot sell those items to get back any United States dollar value.
