The Digital Art Pantheon: 24 Musings 1. This was an excruciating exercise. 2. This was a good exercise. 3. It is alive. It is dynamic. It will iterate. It is v.1. 4. Our Pantheon is likely not your Pantheon. That is a good thing. 5. We all spend so much time with hair on fire. This is a prompt to slow down and reflect. 6. Slowing down to reflect makes it easy to marvel at how special this space is and how much has happened in 13+ years. 7. 13+ years is nothing (in historical context). 13+ years is everything (to us living it). 8. If we don't stand up for our space, no one will. 9. One way to stand up for our space is to celebrate it. 10. One way to celebrate it is to speak about a work you find meaningful and add your own context. 11. Then speak about two. 12. Then speak about one hundred. 13. The best case scenario is that this Pantheon butterflies into all of us celebrating one thousand. 14. This is not purely an art market exercise. We began with XCOPY and a challenging thought experiment. How few could there be? (In case it is not clear, that is a compliment) An XCOPY Pantheon is a fun exercise. Someone should do it. We needed breadth here to tell a story. 15. A target was one or more works within each year. 16. 2025 was not eligible. That is what the upcoming 2025 Annual Report content is for. More celebrations still to come! It allows for a full year-plus of context to pass before considering artworks in the future. 17. Physical first and utility first were largely avoided. 18. There are so many gray areas. A thrill and an agony. Did I mention this was excruciating? 19. You do something like this because you love it. 20. You do something like this because you are obsessed with it. 21. I think there are more people like me. 22. It's easy to get stuck waiting and hoping. For the onboarding, for the conditions, for the algorithm, for the reason, for the market, for the time and place. Most of that won't happen. Until and unless you make it happen. 23. The answer is to act. When it becomes consensus to act, we win. 24. I can't wait to hear you and support you celebrating the art, the artworks, and the space that you love.
