ClownVamp is a conceptual artist whose work breaks conventions, challenging audiences to rethink our relationship with technology. During the 2024 Marfa Art District weekend, he premiered 'The Junk Machine', a pink spectacle that uses AI art to expose the dark undercurrents of technology. This installation is wrapped in a nostalgic aura of 1980s pop culture, irresistibly cute; however, beneath its approachable exterior lies a sharp social commentary – that's the point. Inside Do Right Hall, a neon pink roll printer occupies the center, producing a large quantity of AI-generated spam that, although distorted and biased, is infused with nostalgia.

Will the Pudgy Penguins airdrop ignite the renaissance of NFTs?
Bold prediction: this cycle's NFT renaissance, which started with the doubling of the floor price for Apes, will be ignited by the Pudgy Penguins airdrop this month. As one of the most symbolically significant digital consumer products of the 2020s, NFTs have just gone through a bear market that lasted much longer than other sectors. Even now, it cannot be fully asserted that the NFT bear market has ended, but there are no signs of extinction in the NFT space. In contrast, new NFT forces represented by Pudgy Penguins, Sloths, and Bad Kid have successfully explored a healthy development path by focusing on community building and IP development, following the failure of Yuga Labs' infinite splitting operations. During the NFT bear market, their floor prices and liquidity continue to grow against the trend.
