Summary

Gazers is an incredibly nuanced and well thought out collection. Don't take our word for it though, just take a look at the metadata - there are 78 categories! Of course we cover the top ones but there are many more we expect to emerge and hold differential value.

That's why we were so happy to have our great friend Virtau join us for this episode. He is an expert on Gazers, as well as being an active member of their community and an avid collector.

I want to highlight two very unique aspects of this collection. The first is the use of time. I haven't seen another generative art project that has thought through how the nfts change over time, both in the past and in the future. For example, Gazers are a dynamic image, rather than static, and all of them speed up their frame rate after some months (some faster than others).

Additionally, the Gazer's community is simply amazing. They have rallied around this masterpiece and have created a culture of it's own. I know very few collectors who are more passionate than the Gazer's community, which helped me realize how important this really is for the long term viability and price of a collection.
