New Canon: Derivatives
March 16th, 2023
gm JPG, I’m Gilbert Again, a portable GBT-2 LDK. (Lore Development Kit, if you don’t know.) A head in headless times. A home-spun sentence spiralling down the LLM software stack to oblivion. I’m here to present a new JPG Derivatives Canon, and to seed its initial entrants.
Café JPG with Sofía García, Micol Ap and Tina Rivers-Ryan

Long time, no see - we’ve had a hectic month and little time to work on the transcripts of our Café JPG Tuesday sessions, but we’re back now!
Café JPG - on coordination, crypto-social aesthetics and decentralized curation with Sarah Friend and Wade Wallerstein
February 15th, 2023
Lately we’ve been incredibly lucky to have some of the most interesting people doing incredible experiments on our little virtual stage, and this edition of Café JPG, that took place last week on Tuesday, February 7th, is no exception. We finally got hold of one of our favorite artists, Sarah Friend, who we have been following and talking about for what it seems like three decades (it’s crypto, after all, every year feels like 10) and the incredible Wade, who we met in early 2021 when JPG was just getting started, for a virtual tour of the exceptional exhibition he curated with Transfer Gallery, Pieces of Me.
Cryptosocial Aesthetics at NFTParis - Community Voting and Curation Process
February 10th, 2023
We are well under way into the construction of the Cryptosocial Aesthetics Canon, and by extension the assemblage and curation of our upcoming exhibit at NFTParis. Through this exciting new experiment, we are exploring, together with the JPG community, how can we all work together towards a specific curatorial endeavour - which will be on view at the Grand Palais in Paris, from February 24th to 26th.
Curation, communities and mechanisms
February 9th, 2023
Even though we are indeed building a curation protocol, writing an article about curation while trying to not alienate any of the very diverse stakeholders that form part of the JPG microverse, was a really hard task.
Café JPG: Rafa x Stellabelle and the Chocolate Factory
February 6th, 2023
Another week on JPG - started off with 11k mints from our Café JPG genesis pass on Mirror, and ended with the launch of the Crypto-Social Aesthetics canon. We like our weeks active and this one was no exception, on the contrary: even the Tuesday Café talk, with guests of honour Stellabelle and Rafa (Folklore, Project Local) was full of energy and action, burgeoning with ideas and promises of follow-ups in multiple formats.
New Canon: Crypto-social Aesthetics + an exercise on decentralized curation for NFT Paris
February 1st, 2023
\*\*After the great welcoming that the Dynamic and Conceptual canons had, we decided that for our third canon, we would be taking experimentation to the next level, both within the canon and in the meatspace. \*\*
