NFT Collector Suzanne on "counter-culture" CryptoPunks and "unpredictable" generative art

Thanks to her insatiable love for new technologies, anonymous CryptoPunk Suzanne has been thoroughly NFT-pilled, building up a beautiful and valuable collection of digital works, as well as acting as a moderator in theCryptoPunksDiscord.

Suzannefirst delved into crypto in 2013 with a Bitcoin purchase which shortly became an obsession. But it wasn’t until she bought a Pudgy Penguinin August 2021 that she developed a burning curiosity for NFTs.

Since then, Suzanne has built a highly desirable collection, including her CryptoPunk PFP.

“My favorite pieces are myFidenza #128and mywild blonde CryptoPunk,” she says. “From early on, my end-goal in the space was always to own a CryptoPunk. They are the ones that started it all. I was lucky to buy aBored Apeearly on that I sold at the top. This allowed me to buy a Punk and my first ArtBlocks pieces.”

“My love for generative art grew over time, and I was lucky to have the opportunity to buy my favorite Fidenza about one and a half years ago. It is on my wall in my living room and it’s the most beautiful piece that I will ever own.”

“I am also a big fan of early female computer art pioneers likeLillian Schwartz andVera Molnar. Recently I have become interested in photography and AI art. I am a big fan ofRoope Rainisto,Artemis,Ilan Derech, andOzlem.”

Suzanne is one of the best thread creators on NFTs and digital art on the social media platform X, contextualized by her passion for new and shiny technologies dating back to the ’90s when she started an internet company.

“As an academic, I have always been interested in the impact of new technologies on the economy,” Suzanne says.

“What intrigues me about digital art is its convenience in storage, the decentralized nature, the elimination of the need for physical wall space, the ease of buying and selling, and, most importantly, the vibrant community it fosters.”

Interesting NFTs
The Scion
A young figure caught in a moment of distraction, aware only ephemerally of his unconscious being, as it engages in psychological and psychedelic layer spaces. His right arm casually cradles a moray eel; the figure is comfortable but not truly aware of the potentials for danger in such negligence. His shirt reads “Bello” in Pokemon style font, harkening back to a childhood straddling the millennial threshold. To his right side, out of the unconscious deep, shrouded alien heads propagate as a fractal totem, each new iteration a more sophisticated rendering of emotional masking over the cold mystery of the greys. As the scion of the Budgie-Sattva, the young man, in his distraction, is also simultaneously aware of higher levels of self discovery. To his left a psychological topology sets beneath the oracle side of an 8 ball ,hovering; its message a purest concept of acceptance. The “Scion” lettering is in 80’s HeMan style bold declaration. The lower right side of the painting is like a hybrid of melon, feathers, and seeds. The crystals in the background bring light; conducted, refracted, reflected, and dispersed, to balance the dark shadow of the figure’s physical body. The aura of the scion succeeds in layers to point, with a finger, and the crown chakra, toward a center of a mandala existing as nigh pure application of strokes, in essence painterly abstraction, but also revealing hints of the Aura of migraine, and the bi-hemispherical nature of the brain–noting concerns of the possibility of inherited mental disease. Yet the flourish of chakra as it sets against that center is robust, active, coherent, and reveling against all fear. Fundamentally, the piece speaks to the activation of one’s potential to begin to “Know Thyself”, and find greater awareness out of the enigmas of the mind–as an inculcated seed given to the rich soil of one’s own birthright.

Magnetic Forces v3
"El imán humilla al hierro. Es una teoría sobre el amor. Magnets humiliate iron. It's a theory about love." --Marco Denevi
CryptoKitties
Hey cutie! I'm Kitty #324164. I've never told anyone this, but I once cleaned a dog. Some people say I'm the Frodo Baggins of the group. In time you'll learn how purrfect I am.
Domestic - 2017
“Domestic is the manifestation of the cultural patriarchy in my home. The wooden "woman's" tragedy of false desire. It was done in a moment of breakup. The hollow 3d body & its lost eyes, invites you to fill up. Trying to reach out, encumbered and wrapped in its own fragility, the new mother rises."
