An extremely special triumvirate of the rarest Slazer (Slate) Gazers - left, right & bottom - starting with diamond-shaped Gazers #11 on the left (the first minted Slate, or "Slazer #1") and Gazers #317 on the right (a super rare 60,000🌚 Reflect 💭, a futurist, one of the 15 "Longest" Reflects in the collection), which also has the coveted MCCM 👩🎨🎨🎁 (Press "M" to see). There are only 56 Slates in the entire 1,000 Gazers collection.
Gazers #491 (one of only 13 Equators, a frenetic 2004 fast movement, shines w/ a stunning Red Cadmium Color Theory, and is the ONLY Slate with an Equator Hemisphere). The hemispheres in this project have deeper meaning about fair representation. The percentage of Northerns, Southerns, and Equators in the collection are aligned/correlated with the actual population of humans on earth in those regions. Matt wanted everyone to be represented fairly with what they see when they look up into the sky, as opposed to a Western-centric view of the World and Equators (with lunar phases sweeping from the South to North) are the rarest of all hemisphere traits in the collection.
There are only 9 🚀's in the entire Gazers collection. Gazers #290 is only 1 of 3 Rocket Gazers 🚀 that are also Luna-Ticks 🕰️'s and is a 24 Hour Clock (Press "0" to toggle the 🕰️ on/off). It loves to party 🎉 and has the longest Celebration Window of any 🚀 at 96 Hours. And Gazers #290 also has the MCCM 👩🎨🎨🎁 trait (out of only 2 🚀's) - Press "M" to see. Don't forget all 🚀's are lucky receive the "Voyage by Matt Kane" Ticket 🚀🌝🎟️.
Gazers #614 is an Aluminati 🥫 (Aluminum - which are the most sought-after and instantly recognizable of all Gazers), while also being a Luna-Tick (having the rare 24 Hour Clock trait). There are only 12 Aluminatis that are also Luna-Ticks 🕰️. Gazers #614 is one of only 2 Aluminatis with a Celebration Window of 96 Hours or more. Fun fact 💡: I came up with the "Aluminati" moniker.
"Active" Reflects 💭 (Gazers #220 & #320) are extremely rare, allowing the collector to cycle though previous lunations (iterations/expressions) of moons. A key theme of Gazers is to Reflect on the Past, Present, and Future - to understand the ephemeral nature of the past with the hopefulness of the unknown future. Press the "5" and "6" keys to cycle through every moon ever expressed with these "Active" Reflect Gazers 💭.
Gazers #58, an extremely rare Hour, Minutes, & Seconds Luna-Tick 🕰️ (Clock) - one of only 18 - dubbed by Matt Kane as the most ABSTRACT of all Gazers (which I've affectionately nicknamed the "Picasso Gazers"). There are only 2 HMS Clocks that are Southern Hemisphere (representing what 13% of the world's population living in the Southern Hemisphere see when they look up in the sky 👀🌘, with lunar phases sweeping from left to right).
Gazers #204 (a beautiful Emerald Green Color Theory Seed with "random" 🎲 Color Theory Style and a penchant for invisible dark sides of its moon) and Gazers #652 (a chameleon double Dice Moon - 🎲 Moon & 🎲 Halo - w/ a 120 Hour Celebration Window 🎉🪟 & also loves to hide its dark sides).
Gazers #902 🕰️, a very rare Hour & Minutes Luna-Tick 🕰️ (one of only 42), showcasing the MCCM 👨🎨🎨🎁 trait (Press "M" to see), and ominously dark frames at night! Press the "0" button to toggle on and off the Hour & Minutes clock to go into Calendar Mode.

Door LXXXVIII ("88") ("LOOOVE") by Matt Kane. Doors & Gazers 🚪♾️🌝 are inextricably entangled, both representing inspiring gateways of hope & exploration. Door LXXXVIII (a post-Gazers🚪) is a perfect embodiment of the beautiful connection b/t all of Matt’s masterpieces. Just as Gazers were first conceptualized while designing Doors, so too has Door 88 drawn inspiration from Gazers. A virtuous cycle of creation & reinvention. This masterpiece celebrates some of the most special moments in my own life, beautiful connections with family, and of course, my dear friendship with the artist. ❤️🙏🏼
First Lift (Lift #758) of custom-crafted Etch #2105 by Matt Kane - Matt's very own homage to Gen 0 ("Zero") Gazer #0
t8chy0n Etches: "Soul of a Gazer" & "Soul of the First Slate". We fellow OGs (Original Gazers) have collected a limited supply of 1,000 Gazers that will iterate infinite new Gazers. This duality is intentional and by elegant design. Young vs. Old Origin Moons. Active vs. Long Reflects. Midnight vs. Noon Contrast. Calendars vs. Clocks. +1 Frame overlayed at faster and/or slower paces over time. 👩🎨🎁 vs.👨🎨🎁 (MCCM). Glimpses not only of the past, but also into the future, through Celebrations. Persisting vs. Ephemeral Moments.
