Commentary: 6/9/2022 A perfect genesis day for The Memes to come to life. I view these as the three genesis cards for The Memes, like Squiggle/Genesis/Construction token are first for ArtBlocks, like Nakamoto is first for Pepe.
Card 1 is 6529Seizing by @6529er and it is very cool, but there is more. So a punk owner can make commercial derivatives of punks so that part is fine. We can't place punk6529 itself into the public domain, but we believe that we can place this transformative, critical work into the public domain. In any case, @6529er and I dedicate any copyrights we might have in this work to the public domain worldwide under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 license. @punk6529

I love this card so much, have been waiting for months to get it out to the world. @punk6529

NakamotoFreedom by @6529er
Description: "We have proposed a system for electronic transactions without relying on trust"
Commentary: It is an homage to where it all began - Satoshi, BTC, the Nakamoto Pepe card and the genesis of our ability to be self-sovereign in the digital realm. In homage to the Nakamoto card, the edition size of this card will be 300 cards. Now what does Freedom To Transact mean? My view is that without some basic ability to transact, all other constitutional rights may be put at risk. @punk6529

Commentary: Meme Card 5 is from the WAGMI theme, but we have to reflect these troubling times 😉 @punk6529
DALL-E's Revenge by @lphaCentauriKid
Description: Phase 1 - seize the humans
Commentary: DALL-E's Revenge lashes a sharp tongue at artificial intelligence by revealing the implications of artists handing over the process of creation to a machine. Perhaps the most powerful societal commentary from @lphaCentauriKid to date.
Why most powerful to date? Goes beyond commentary on our crypto world (think i Lan boi meme or Galaxy Gas Wars from Aug 2021) by tackling the society wide issue of AI vs human. The soft brush replaced with a precision needle. The quirky artist persona replaced with factory line robotic stealth. Perhaps most disturbing is the cancelling of memes are we going to have to cede to the machine despite collective effort to seize the memes for ourselves?
Lastly, it is for what isn't said. Who is the one that controls the machine pictured demanding royalties from us? Is it the muse pictured on the screen? @mintfaced

Commentary: Meme Card #7 - Aeroglyph6529 by @Reuben_Wu in his signature style from the freestyle meme will drop in the next hour. It is the first smart and interactive card. It switches from light to dark at 7pm and 7am local time and upon click. We want the card to last as long as Ethereum does.s / timezone but over years & decades the API will break, will change, the provider will go out of business. We want the card to last as long as Ethereum does. So we do a JS call to your computer's local time. It should last 🤞 @punk6529
Commentary: FirstGM will be the largest edition of SZN1. The goal of the FirstGM card is to be the most accessible entry into The Meme cards so I wanted way to have an accessible mint, but limit multiple mints. @punk6529

Commentary:
Seize the Carpoolers
Description:
Commentary: Yes, it promotes our way to the future, seizing the memes of production. More importantly, it shines a pixelated light on one of the often forgotten and most important parts of our society - our migrant workers. Based on Alejandro's "Carpoolers" photography series, this meme card depicts migrant workers heading on their way to work, or maybe home. The Carpoolers series is one of my favorite photography series ever created - not just as CryptoArt, but ever. I’m a native Texan and my family is in the construction business. We’ve built apartments, strip centers, restaurants, single family houses, etc. and I grew up around job sites. The guys in those photos - now in today's meme card - are the hands of America. They built everything that we take for granted and they get treated like shit by far too many. I know how hard they work, that many of them send everything they can back home to Mexico, and that they just want to live good, honest lives. The light that Alejandro shines on them through Carpoolers is important and the collection is meaningful. Through the Memes, @punk6529 has boosted that light tremendously and I am glad to see a critical part of society get the recognition it deserves. @exlawyernft
