Nolcha Shows Immersive Adventure ✨
We’re excited to present a special curation of works on the two-story digital canvas in the venue foyer at Nolcha Shows Immersive Adventure during Art Basel Miami. Featured collections include Halloween Art Challenge winners, collections showcased physically, inventive uses of BTC as a creative medium, projects focused on preserving physical art and culture, and a range of other notable releases.
Below is a sample from last year’s Inscribing Miami event with art by Andrea Belloni and Harto.
NOT SAINTS by Artifishal 🪽
NOT SAINTS by Artifishal is live for bidding on Signals, bid now to secure your spot.
At a time when artificial intelligence advances a visual culture of perfected bodies and seamless precision, Artifishal’s Not Saints, the fifth of his art collections inscribed on Bitcoin, marks a decisive divergence. Conceived as a creation myth articulated across seven books and 133 works, it draws on the visual grammars of classical painting, sacred iconography, and epic cinema, only to quietly dismantle their assurances. What defines Artifishal’s inimitable style is his instinct for contradiction: figures hover between coherence and collapse, ancient and futuristic, remembered and imagined. He allows these tensions to structure the emotional architecture of the work. As a result, distortions, hesitations, and unstable anatomies—often dismissed as technical errors—become central, presenting imperfection not as something to repair but as the essential condition through which the contemporary image becomes truly human.
Check out the full collection.

Partner of the Week 👨🎨
Meet Gamma Partner Artist YuZapata, who has been creating art for as long as he can remember. His passion led him to study graphic design and eventually found his own creative agency, where he realized that art itself is his true form of expression.
YuZapata’s style bridges the physical and digital worlds, connecting street art with gallery spaces and transforming everyday moments of joy into unique works through his iconic character, Palometa the Pigeon.
His work has been showcased in both physical and digital spaces across Bogotá, Miami, Mexico, NYC, Barcelona, Portugal, Tokyo, Taipei, and other cities worldwide. Notably, Palometa has even taken over the screens of Times Square.
Check out Cheers by YuZapata, an interactive ordinal collection where Palometa changes according to the time of the day. Cheers! is an artistic reflection on the ritual of sharing those luminous moments that unfold around a drink. Minting now.
Outstanding curation for Art Basel. The way Artifishal embraces imperfection in NOT SAINTS is exactly what distinguishs human creativity from AI-generated work, especially when you consider how mch of the digital art conversation right now is about algorithmic precision. The parent-child inscription model for establishing provenance on Bitcoin really solves the authenticity problem that's plagued digital art for decades. What's compelling is how Gamma is lowering the barrier for artists who want permanence withot needing to understand the entire tech stack behind ordinals.
