〰️ 🎛️ Format: Live Auction [Ongoing]

〰️ 💰 Current Bid: 0.005 BTC

〰️ ℹ️ More Info: “IN GOD WE TRUST” by FAR is a maximalist monument to crypto culture, permanently inscribed on Bitcoin via Ordinals. Centered around a shimmering gold “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” the artwork spirals outward into a chaotic orbit of memes, lore, grift, and historical nods – from Melies’ moonface to Fartcoin-fueled rockets. Equal parts satire and shrine, it transforms blockchain history and Web3 absurdities into a digital fresco that asks us not just to believe, but to “bullieve.” The piece is part of Megalith Art’s first auction series, curated by Inscribing Atlantis and the 2025 Bitcoin Conference.

〰️ ℹ️ More Info: “Critically Extant” by Sofia Crespo confronts the gaps in our digital understanding of nature by using AI to generate visual representations of critically endangered species with little to no online presence. Trained on millions of open-source images, these models reveal the limitations – and potential – of digital data in representing life on Earth. Originally launched as an Instagram exhibition, the project blurs the line between art and advocacy, inviting viewers to consider how their digital habits can foster awareness and action. In collaboration with Nguyen Wahed Gallery and ARTXCODE, Crespo calls for new feedback loops—where creativity helps endangered species reclaim space in our collective consciousness.
