CLEAVE by RedruM is Live Today 🔪🩸
Gamma is excited to unveil our Season Pass exclusive release, CLEAVE, a striking BTC debut featuring 64 recursive 1/1s.
CLEAVE examines the paradox of boundaries, where separation and union become indistinguishable. Each artwork merges two independent landscapes, cut apart and recombined into new terrains. Across 64 unique permutations, the series shows how every fracture carries the memory of what it once joined.

When: Friday 19 December, 10am ET
Access: 1 mint per Season Pass held for the first 24 hours; after 24 hours, holders may mint +1 if supply remains
Price: ~$60
Supply: 64x 1/1’s

RedruM’s work blends surreal, symbolic worlds with dreamlike palettes punctured by vivid red, creating tension, emotional depth, and uncanny familiarity.

Not Saints by Artifishal 🪽
Not Saints live for bidding on Signals is arranged in sequence, across seven books. The order matters. Nothing here is incidental.
The works aren’t meant to be taken apart or examined one by one. They’re meant to be experienced the way you move through time—one thing after another. What comes next changes what you just saw. Each image gains meaning from its position in the sequence, rather than standing alone.
I think about it like film editing. Each image is a shot. Some stay longer. Some pass quickly. Some don’t make sense until later, when something else reframes them. Match cuts and abrupt transitions echo film editing techniques, where continuity is created not through explanation but through visual rhyme and contrast. The rhythm comes from placement, not explanation.
Images repeat. But they don’t repeat the same way. Crowds shift. Color drifts. Objects take on meaning, then shed it. Yet meaning isn’t announced. It accumulates.
There isn’t a clear narrative and there doesn’t need to be. Things happen, then other things happen. The connection is felt rather than explained. To me, that mirrors how experience actually unfolds.
Some images feel old. Some feel immediate. Some move toward abstraction. That’s fine. Life doesn’t stay the same and neither does memory.
The work doesn’t resolve itself either. It ends where it ends.
There isn’t a single story running through the seven books. There are motifs that migrate. Objects return, altered by context. And so, a symbol that appears in Book I does something different once it’s been echoed or fractured in Book VII.
Ultimately, the work asks you to move through it slowly, one image at a time—to notice those shifts, to trace the connections, and to make sense of them yourself. The sequencing rewards attention.
What you see depends on how closely you look.
If something stays with you afterward, that’s the point. And if something changes the next time you view it, that’s also the point.
New Horizons by NLV 🖼️
See the latest Idea on Signals, New Horizons by NLV.
Stepping towards a new beginning A visual meditation on departure and becoming. Each piece frames the coastline as a living threshold — portals carved from sky, water, and memory, guiding a solitary figure toward an unseen tomorrow. This collection explores the quiet tranquility of being present, of yearning, exploring the way a single step can widen the world. An exploration between art styles, produced from a year of new beginnings and new technology, within multiple themes to communicate my current state of mind. Intended as a a small collection of 1/1s and low edition prints, the purpose behind New Horizons is to share my need for peace and calm amidst digital disruptions in an uncertain time.
