Desire Path #5
Hello friends, welcome to another issue of Desire Path — a newsletter for photographers and photography aficionados interested in NFTs and web3.
Today’s path will bring you fires, 3D models and fungi. Sounds like a Bill Murray story.
Two Crossed Paths
“The Slightly Odd and Uncomfortable” by Cai Fox Leplaw meets the yellow light of purgatory in Ryan Struck’s “All The Way Left”.
Three Photo Projects
“Rescue Sketches” by Sinna Nasseri. In 2020, he documented a divided country after the U.S. election.
“El poema” by Isa Rus. A love poem to life and motherhood.
“No Glory In The Southwest” by Jason Chambers.
Four Art Projects
“By Proxy” by Shavonne Wong and Lenne Chai depicts an imaginary young girl's transition from girlhood to adolescence, sculpted digitally. This 3D model (nicknamed ShaLene) is a combination of their younger selves, and is inspired by their upbringing in Singapore.
“exquisite rot” by Madeline Cass. A mix of fungi, decay, collage and glitch art.
Curious Dreamlike Reality by Christopher David Ryan.
“The Art of Seasons” by Dirty Robot.
Five Things to Check Out
Dissolutions (Sleeping by the Mississippi). An Interview with Alec Soth.
Is Web3 a Solution Seeking a Problem? — or can it democratize access to work, finance and asset ownership?
Bill Murray to Launch NFT Collection Based on His Real-Life Stories. “I don’t want to film a documentary or write an autobiography. Social media is for the birds.”
In times of metaverse and microdosing, we should be looking back to Timothy Leary’s ideas. “[…] Metaverse can be the new frontier for the expansion of human consciousness, thus potentializing insights and discoveries that are currently locked in the limiar of "sobriety"“.
Enjoy your spring break! See you in two weeks.
