Welcome back to UFO news. A selection of news, music, releases and essays.
April has been a wild time. Much happening with communities like Higher arriving
in the scene. The cultural creative realms are experimenting at the edges of
what's possible, combining things like Zora, Party, Highlight and Farcaster.
UFO launched Season 4 and released the UFO Supporter Pass on April 5. There's
already more than 100 Supporters which is incredible to see as we put all focus
on getting the radio station on air. We also started up Happy Mondays in which
the UFO network selects 20 mints on Zora each week and then tips artists with
the UFO $Enjoy allowance.
https://news.ufo.fm
HAPPY MONDAYS #2
UFO tips 20 mints with 6,128,084 $Enjoy on Zora.
Everything is ramping up to FarCon in Venice Beach, California where we're
attending in May. Doing live podcasts with Zerion and a recording with Nounish
Prof and Jonny Mack from Hypersub. Nick is moderating an onchain media panel at
FREE WIFI hosted by Seed Club, Archetype VC, Slow Rodeo and Enjoy.

LET'S DO THE UFO NEWS ...
On the surface $Enjoy may look like just another memecoin, but if you squint a
bit and look past the DIY design aesthetic and torrent of low-effort memes
you’ll see something pretty special forming.
Instigated by the terminally onchain agents of chaos over at Seed Club, $Enjoy
is an internet-native currency for a new generation of creators. This week saw
active creators and collectors on Zora receive a weekly allowance that can be
used to tip creators via onchain comments when minting.
This unlocks new opportunities for community curation and signalling, helping to
surface high quality projects and creators. There is a rich design space for
apps and tools to be built on top of Enjoy and I look forward to seeing the next
wave of creative experimentation.

FUTURE 'ARTITECHTURE'
All great cities have been accompanied by great literature and art. So,
architecture, art, and language will be important means of resilience in the
future.
> “Perceptual expectations shape conscious experience”
* The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley
A shared reality comes from the ability to create together without bounds, the
art extending through time and space across different minds. Thinking of art as
a spatial entity helps us inhabit it. Embedding values through practice and
creating community-based incentives.
We're bringing something new into existence. Basically, we're just fucking
around and finding out together.

year

JIHAD ↑ ON WARPCAST
I'm distributing 100k ↑higher (~$10k) to my favorite writing on the following
prompt: "Describe a higher vision of the future." Deadline Monday 4/8 @ 12PM ET.
750+ words. Be as specific and imaginative as possible. Goal is to get people
writing about aspirational futures that people can rally around. Higher.
Creating onchain in a permissionless way makes new abundances possible.
Creatives are breaking free from the cages of corporate machinery and together
growing a space for art and communities to evolve.
New modes of cultural production where value is recognised at the development
process itself are being born. We’re contextualising the notion of becoming
through concrete inflections of a moment and shared structures. We’re leaning
into emergence.

PAFF ✈︎ ↑ ON WARPCAST
the /higher creativity flywheel is unmatched. i joined this community 3 weeks

contributing words, art, memes & vibes. this was the latest from the last
rounds.wtf drop. each time i get more conviction & energy to make more higher ↑

We are living in exciting times, many things happened in the past weeks in the
space and in particular at Zora. Everyone is enjoy(ing) tipping, being tipped
and in general minting a few coins such as $enjoy, $higher, $crash and $imagine.
I won’t even get into the eclipse madness. As my first words contribution to
this newsletter, I’d like to write about something that is not necessarily a new
feature, but an underrated one in my opinion. Something that touched me more as
an extended realities (XR) artist.

The Physical Impossibility of Provenance
1,500
21:58 • 23. März 2024
A couple of weeks back Jack Butcher minted The Physical Impossibility of
Provenance -1988 as a 24-hour open edition on Base. Inspired by Myth Explored,
Explained, Exploded (1993) by Damien Hirst. It came as a 3D mintable model in
Zora, nothing new here. The interesting part is that people started to explore
with the inbuilt AR feature that Zora has on the mobile version of their
website.
For the easiest way to play with it, go to Zora and hit the AR button on the
bottom right.
People then started sharing augmented images and videos of Jack's work in real
museums around the world, including MoMa. The AR button is what I believe most
of us never paid attention to, including me. I discovered it in a conversation
me and Nick had with Kugusha, in which we decided to spin a 3D ↑ model together
spit in between Apollo, Kugusga and Higher Collective. A permissionless
exhibition of ↑↑↑ followed shorter after.
I had previously minted a 3D Sculpture on Zora, so I was super curious to try
the AR viewer and check it in real scale. I loved it. To be clear: as a seasoned
artist it wasn’t the first time I’ve seen my own art in AR or VR, but the idea
that AR art can live onchain giving provenance and being so accessible at the
same time is exciting.
It brought me to bring some of my 3D Art onchain, to make more of it and
discover more XR Artists like me.
I started a Zora XR channel on Farcaster dedicated to promoting and curating 3D
interactive mints on Zora and I will be shining a light onto this underrated
form of art through UFO Happy Mondays - the UFO initiative that allows network
members to select 20 mints to share an equal split of our $Enjoy allocation each
week… here we go, back to talk about tipping $

THE DARK FOREST AND THE POST-INDIVIDUAL
Earlier this week I spoke with the writer Nadia Asparahouva, author of the great
book Working in Public. In our conversation, Nadia mentioned the classic piece
"Status as a service" by Eugene Wei that details how Twitter functions (or
functioned) as a giant status-seeking engine. This piece, Nadia proposed,

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE CREATIVE CLASS MAKES THEIR OWN CURRENCIES?
Higher represents more than just a digital art project with a token; it

As we navigate the progressive crossing from web2 into web3, knee deep in the
old boat as we build the new, we must take on more than a technological

ON COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR LIBERATION.
Over the last few years the collective consciousness has risen. Some might call
this the "woke agenda", which, hilariously - is not actually that far wrong.
Unlike the recent smear campaign against the word, being woke simply means being
awake to the realities of the world.
