Moments from Inscribing Nashville

During Bitcoin Week in Nashville last month, we were proud to host the Inscribing Nashville conference along with Nolcha Shows and Inscribing Atlantis.

The panels at Inscribing Nashville were a major highlight, offering deep insights into various aspects of Ordinals and their role in the evolving landscape of digital art and technology. Topics covered included the potential of Ordinals, their implications for deep time, and the intersection of technology and art. These discussions provided a comprehensive look at how Ordinals are reshaping the field, with programming set against immersive backdrops that enriched the overall experience.

The conference also served as a dynamic platform for collaboration and the exchange of new innovations on Bitcoin. Attendees were treated to a variety of updates on Ordinals and Runes, keeping them informed about the latest developments within the community. Speakers such as lead ordinals maintainer Raph, Taproot Wizards’ own Udi Wertheimer, VV pioneer and leading conceptual artist Jack Butcher, Blockspace Media’s Charlie Spears and more led to wonderful learning and listening experiences.

To cap off the week, we raced go-karts with Jack Butcher for a truly unforgettable VV Nashville experience.

We can’t wait to see you at our next event!

LATAM 10x10 Art Collective — with Xverse

Introducing the 10x10 LATAM Art Collective: a groundbreaking collaboration between Gamma, Xverse, and ten pioneering Latin American artists making their Bitcoin debut. This collection is more than art—it's a cultural bridge, bringing the vibrant stories of Latin America to the forefront of the digital renaissance.

Each piece in this curated collection is a window into a Latin American country, capturing everything from the poignant journeys of migrants to the triumphs of regional innovators. The artists' unique styles blend with their cultural narratives, creating a rich tapestry of LATAM experiences. By featuring Latin American voices, we're not just preserving art—we're decentralizing culture itself, ensuring diverse perspectives are seen, heard, and valued on a global stage.

Check out all ten artworks and mint them below:

The Art of Collage

Collage art is a versatile genre that involves assembling diverse materials such as photographs, magazine clippings, and found objects into cohesive compositions. These pieces blend textures, colors, and themes to create unique visual experiences. Popularized by pioneers like Pablo Picasso with his "Still Life with Chair Caning" in the early 1900s and Hannah Höch with her politically charged "Cut with the Kitchen Knife Dada," collage art allows artists to repurpose existing elements into new, imaginative contexts.

Today, collage continues to evolve, incorporating both traditional techniques and modern digital methods. Some artists even preserve their collage art on blockchain platforms like Bitcoin, reflecting the endless possibilities for artistic expression in the digital age.

Let's explore the work of three Gamma Partner Artists who excel in the world of collage. 👇

Partner Artist of the Week

Welcome to another Featured Artist of the Week, a series highlighting remarkable artists creating Ordinals through the Gamma Partner Program! Today, meet Eka, a Crypto Baroque Pioneer and lover of layers, depth, color, and expression.

Eka loves to express her inner world and be herself with her creations. She has created art both physically and digitally, and her work in both mediums has been exhibited globally. Eka loves the idea of art being onchain, as she believes art is pretty much alive — and when it is inscribed on Bitcoin, it continues to live on indefinitely.

In a recent conversation with Eka, we talked about her art style, pioneering on Bitcoin, the importance of community, utilizing color, a child’s artistic perspective and more. You can listen to our entire conversation in the following interview:

Make sure to follow Eka on X and check out her now minting drop, Unicorn Portals, a groundbreaking and dynamic collection that blends the rich, vibrant essence of Crypto Baroque with the innovative power of the Bitcoin Blockchain.
