I wish I could do something with that.

"Reverie" is a chaotic cellular automata that uses DNA to define each cell. The rendering looks artisanal, ideally to be printed with a risograph. After 2 years of work, my new collection, "Reverie", is now open for minting on https://t.co/EysQJ5Uc9p

So many souvenirs (including endless nights programming, and some magic moments)

I will close Murano Fantasy this Sunday 5th Nov. at 10:00am CET. Last chance to mint. https://t.co/je2d4hrHlh

risograph colors are awesome.

I have changed the number of maximum invocations for Murano Fantasy to 100 on artblocks. If it doesn't mint, I will close the project at some point - so feel free to benefit from this last chance of getting one - there are 61 ones remaining left. https://t.co/je2d4hrHlh

playing around with cellular automata

Who is the author? Signature looks like "Bolley 95", but the work does not look like Andrea Bolley. More like Bridget Riley.

I bought both at a public auction in Paris last week. No signature. The paper looks quite old (40 years?). Drawn with a ballpoint pen. Does anyone have an idea of the artist or the style?

Don't ask ChatGPT about the Muranichs.

Thousands of amateur codebreakers continue to try to reveal their secret. Yet we don't even know in which direction to hold the letter, and if the canes are used to identify the recipient, the sender, or are a part of the content of the message.

Today the Muranichs are still kept in Louvre's secret collections along with the Iron Mask and some remaining parts of the Amber Room.

Anyway, the Louvre scholars did not manage to make any meaning from these manuscripts. It is said that Champollion himself spent decades on it before switching to a more trivial task.

They had been stolen by French spies sent by Louis XIV in Murano to find out the secrets of the glassmakers but were never deciphered. It is believed that these letters were used by Murano glassmakers to secretly communicate, thus the "Muranichs" naming.

But other similar manuscripts were soon found in the Louvre's secret collections.

Coming back from the Egyptian Campaign, Napoléon Bonaparte, who was still at that time only a general, was shown the manuscripts. It is recorded that he was amazed and kept one of the largest manuscripts for himself, which was never regained.

Back in Paris, the trunk was opened and the manuscripts were tediously sorted out by Louvre scholars. Among countless wine invoices, they found some very strange manuscripts, which immediately caught their attention.
