IRL Summer 🟦☀️ @RefractionDAO X @base 20 artists, 4 weeks, 1 summer of creativity. Selected through the Refraction open call, their works are now minting on MintR, our miniapp inside @baseapp. The first 5 drops are live today, let's take a look 👇

🟦 @noahpred – R/Espirar A sonified artwork suspended in fog between departure and arrival. Using migration data, sound and imagery intertwine to reflect the tension, displacement, and resilience of millions in motion.

🟦 @skywaterr – Layers of Mayhem A phygital blend of oils, acrylics, and digital scripts. Chaos becomes beauty as color and form collide, offering a textured meditation on transformation.

🟦 @vandilovescandi – Sadness Disconnected Shot in Seattle’s fentanyl crisis epicenter, this portrait is preserved through experimental scannography. A raw and haunting document of life on the edge.

🟦 @kate_armstrong – The Spa at the End of Time (003) A narrative vision inspired by Hilma af Klint. This astral spa imagines a post-embodied future, a place where humanity transcends into new states of being.

🟦 @heeey_eth – Atone 1/X A generative animation of shifting prisms in shades of magenta. Through repetition and movement, the work creates a meditative state, mesmerizing, infinite, and alive.

5 artists, 5 distinct perspectives. Week 1 of IRL Summer is live in MintR, our miniapp inside @baseapp. Each week brings new voices, new ideas, and new ways of imagining digital culture onchain. A summer-long celebration of art & creativity 💛
