It is an honor to present "The Undiscovered Worlds Gallery [Medici Collection] to the Medici' Square on Deca.
For the opening part, I took a ride through one of the medici's Tezos wallets and selected 50+ artworks based on personal preferences for the opening of this gallery. I curated the ones I had previously collected, ones that are iconic from artists I know, and ones that I simply like to incorporate into a collage that represents the gallery's soul or raw nature. I also included a few pieces of art from my own wallets.
2/2
The "Undiscovered Worlds" Gallery houses Medici's collection of NFTs, which was collected by Cozomo de'Medici. I chose 10 artists and handpicked from their works, resulting in a high-level profile for each.
Most importantly, the gallery will shed light on undiscovered arts or provide an opportunity for us to discover new arts to collect. We'll get a bird's-eye view of these inventive builders.

During an early creative block, I collected from ARTIFICIALIS t0 immerse myself into the experience in a way to understand it more.
I was super lucky when I found DM from ARTIFICIALIS himself to welcome me in the emerging community.
I immediately told him about the gallery and asked him to describe his artworks, styles and inspirations to ease up my curation block at the time.

First thing that grabbed my attention about Cyber Humanoid was the active use of dadaism as a main form of art along with pop art and surrealism.
I believe that his OpenSea collection "Cyber Humanoid" is a hidden gem with a very thin floor of [0.3 ETH].

The artist describes himself as a reflection from two different worlds, but in my opinion he knows that both worlds are actually one.
During my latest visits to Egypt, I stayed for around a week in the Lotus Temple. I encountered a mystical book called "Nine Eyes of Creation'. due to my short stay, I read one chapter "Shaw" where it illustrates how our dark eye of creation must be aligned with the other eyes.
As humans, we were built by culture to reject darkness, the bad ones, or the devil as many refer to. Yet if we didn't embrace our dark side and understand it, then we will never reach our full potentials.
The artist decided to carry on the most important message. It is noT easy to walk against the mainstream. I saluTe [fromdarkness.tez] for the infinite amount of bravery that is needed to stand by your darkness face to face.
"My inspiration comes from life and death; the idea that all living things are intertwined and derived from the same source. In death, we return to the earth, sea, sky, and space. We become a part of the nature that we feel so disconnected from in life."

After mY lasT noTe about life & death in the previous profile. I lapsed badly. Finding POST WOOK was a bless, because it reminded me of my base art genre as an artist. Before joining #NFT spaces, I am a design thinking facilitator and principal human-centered designer. I lead client's projects on solving problems using creative approach. One of the key practices is the reflection of observations, and ideas on the walls. This is actually a type of art and it is called Generative Scribing or the Social Art of the 21st Century.
"Scribing - the practice of visually mapping a group's content in real time, as people talk - is increasingly used across sectors and around the globe to bring human ideas and interaction alive through words and images, thus activating the social field in a unique and participatory way. Scribing is an evolving art form whose potential is only just beginning to be fully realized. This book will provide a much needed framework for scribing and, on a larger level, for seeing possibilities of connecting inner and outer lives, art and the social realm."

Curating the POST WOOK profile sparked an interest in combining digital collage artworks. It led to a week of landscape collages, of which I managed to create four artworks.
Blue Moon Desert was the first to establish and represent the foundation for developing my "forever style" into landscape collage arts.
Thank you for the opportunity, Post WOOK, Medici Square's founders, and the wonderful patron!

Bruno Urli's work was highlighted in the "Medici Minutes" written by @GBMedici and @Kdean. I recall right clicking "A Florist's Dream VI" and selecting my Twitter cover photo.
The young artist taps into our gallery theme of two worlds emergence.
I couldn't find the words to describe it better that the artist's own words,
"I made two worlds that seem to destroy each other, coexist, in a beautiful and peaceful manner."

I couldn't leave "Medici Minutes" #17 without mentioning Julie Pacino's daring work.
Julie employs photography to blur the lines between socially defined roles and definitions.
"Conquer" her superrare artwork, matched my aversion to the concept of time.
She conquered the moment by transforming it into everlasting feelings of vulnerability, love, and desire.

Pindar Van Arman
As an AI artisT, I was amazed when the grande patron tweeted an artwork by Pindar Van Arman.
I quickly went to the artist's SuperRare gallery. F0r the firsT time I considered seriously to dive deeper inT0 artificial intelligence art like coding or cresting my own robots beyond writing natural language prompts in Night Cafe Studio or MidJourney. These distinguish artworks were actually painted by robots. For an example the one bought by Cozomo de'Medici was drawn during International Robot Art Contest in 2018.
This AI art have a unique signature that combine simplicity, multiple meanings and creepiness [in a beautiful colourful way]. I immediately decided t0 include it as the ninth profile in this gallery. I will showcase the AI imagined versions of famous NFT collections, AI Portraits and Emerging Faces series.

Final Curator Note
I'd want to salute you, anonymous. You have given me the highest honor by coming this far! Now let me convey the spirit of the #Medici collection, glitch art, and/or token-based economy to you.
Together with the royal patron, the #Medici community tried to identify practical solutions to harness the failures inside and outside. I can't put into words how much of a boost I received from Cozomo de'Medici's dozens, if not hundreds, of likes. I even keep track of his retweets as part of my identification. When I examined him more closely, I saw that he was doing this for practically all active degens in the Medici community.
As my good fren @2009Block0 constantly says, the easiest technique [which I am currently learning] is to lift one to lift the entire world.
I came at the crypt0 scene full of false dreams in which HODL would fix all of your troubles. Later on, I learned that I needed to work a thousand times harder than I had previously. The quantity of information, skills, LFGs, WAGMIs, DEGENS, and NGMIs available is vast and difficult to comprehend. The entire unborn web3 ecosystem must be rebuilt from the ground up. It is just extreme for any normal human being, which lead us to the beginning of this whole new art era or renaissance.

The Doomed Experience
A Degen's Web3 Experience Journey Map
Def.
Customer Experience Journey Map is a design method used to better understand customer needs, motivations, and obstacles by illustrating a key scenario or process from start to finish.
In our case we will be focusing on a general overall web3 experience based on XCOPY artworks, my self-reflections and a little bit of imagination f0r curation purposes.
The model uses five stages:-
Entice - How does degens initially become aware of web3?
Enter - What do degens experience as they begin using web3?
Engage - In the core moments in web3, what happens?
Exit - What do degens typically experience as web3 activities unfolds?
Extend - What happens after a certain web3 experience is over?
Stage One - T H I N K
Stage Tw0 - Crypt0 Land
Stage THREE - The sink
Transformers
Aliens
Degens
Skulls
WAGMIs
Stage FOUR - CrypT0 Drama
Stage FIVE - A God
Where are you at? and which era are you?

In this stage, a degen starts to think seriously about web3, NFT, and tokens, with giant hopes for himself and his communities.

When @XCOPY began selling his work for BTC and ETH roughly 10 years ago, he realized he was in for a fight. Instead of using acrylic canvas paintings or a Dadaist collage, he released the power of the glitch. A distinct darkness, a natural mystic, and a very honest face, a recognisable face that the culture praised but the community scorned.
Before it all started, XCOPY witnessed all of the tension, FUD, disappointments, and carpets. The difficulties that those who dared to be different faced. All of this was articulated very honestly by the famous artist.
The totally released artist will sketch it all in order for the new, unnatural humanity to accept their fates. Massive numbers of flaws that only reveal the truth As builders, artists, developers, mentors, and consumers, we must own our flaws and utilize them to become holy.
In this final segment, I attempted to map the complete web3 experience journey of a degen. I utilised XCOPY artworks to break it down into phases. I hope that these chosen artworks can help Medici Communities and other web3 builders in their tremendous efforts.
