/farcon-rome comes to an end it was honestly surreal to see so many internet friends together in r(h)ome my main goal with farcon was to create an intimate gathering where people could genuinely connect, make new friendships, strengthen old ones, exchange ideas, build together, and just spend time with each other beyond the timeline farcaster culture has always been deeply rooted in this URL -> IRL loop, and i’m sure many of the connections created in rome will keep living online long after this week i was incredibly impressed by the snapathon and the 24 snaps submitted. same for the community talks and demos, they felt way closer to creative performances than traditional conference presentations. people weren’t just presenting ideas, they were expressing themselves through them the Q&A with @rish was another big highlight for me, and left me even more confident in the direction farcaster is heading. honestly, the energy shift already started a few weeks ago, but after these days you could really feel it in the air for real, we're going /higher @kismet’s contribution to the event was also massive. between the art, music, visuals, performances, and overall atmosphere, artists truly felt like first-class citizens. i really hope (and honestly believe) that this brings more creatives closer to farcaster and shows that this ecosystem is for them too in the few moments where i was actually able to slow down during the event, i had so many beautiful conversations with all of you. hearing people talk so positively about the energy, the ideas, and the feeling of the gathering itself genuinely made me emotional more than once really, really grateful to everyone who came, contributed, supported, performed, built, helped, sponsored, spoke, hacked, filmed, danced, cooked, volunteered, or simply showed up i also wanna take another moment to thank the team that made this possible @lucamorelli @andreap @darph @statuette @luciano - grateful to have you on my side the whole time i won’t forget this one 💜

re: @bust-project few, somewhat unstructured thoughs: * Art cleanup is going great, there is a pretty high change it will live fully onchain, making /farcon-rome participants art live for as long as base does. * I am thinking about collection size. There are ~70 vouchers given to people who drew traits, I am strongly considering increasing the collection size a bit. Reasons for this are a) more variations and trait combinations and b) I want to to live generate the collection at mint, so higher number = higher chance of each trait being represented well. Happy to take input here, my current thinking number in the mid 100s, low mint cost outside vouchers and the voucher ones are visually distincs (border or bg color). * Regarding 1/1s. I was thinking to include some 'significant' parties with a 1/1 in the collection to have them as chase items. Unfortunatly not to many came to happen and as of right now, there are only 2: 1) cocreated by everyone who was part of a @gmfarcaster interview and 2) one my 2y old drew on one of the early templates. My current thinking is to just mint those two directly to gmfc and myself and basically have them as memorabilia. * Timeline-wise, trying to tie up a few knots here and there but hope to get this out before my holiday end of the month. On all of those points, happy to take input <3

Sharing some special moments from my participation in the @kismetcasa Rome artist residency 🔌 Two weeks full of shared creativity and experimentation 🍭 During this time, I experimented with TouchDesigner, Blender, 3D photogrammetry, and video installations using CRT TVs and mapping🔐 I also shared parts of my process at @vandalo.eth studio and during FarCon Rome, where I spoke about my work and auctioned a piece created during the residency⚛️ Sending much love to all the amazing artists involved in this residency 🔮 @turro @dwn2erth.eth @usersteen.eth @mxjxn @tinyrainboot @anacarolina.eth @duodomusica @mattlee @leaolmos.eth @luciano

Now that trait cleanup is done for @bust-project the fun part of building the contract for the actual collection can start. With it comes the age old question: "Can I somehow manage to put this fully onchain?" (and after some intial testing I ma excited to report, that I am leaning towards "yes") Would also be very interested to hear general opinion on mint mechanics (using the new snap creator, thanks @neynar): https://snap-host.farcaster.xyz/b6f2002a-6fe6-45e3-b5a2-32046ccecbaf/

I still have a "hangover". I work every day, a lot is happening behind the scenes, but I’m missing the vibes and that energy. I need farcon bulgaria + urbe hub bulgaria.
