What’s New in Juno

This is just the beginning. Juno is built to evolve alongside artists, opening doors to new creative modes and living systems of expression.

Transient Curated:

August brought another landmark release in Transient Curated, and we’re just getting started. The Fall lineup is around the corner, with more artist-led exhibitions to be revealed soon.

• Dave Krugman’s NIGHTMOVES: A series of 10 photographs spanning a decade of wandering New York City by night. The collection explores the tension of light and shadow, isolation and density, and the fleeting human moments that animate the city after dark. Each work is unstaged, drawn from thousands of images captured over ten years, distilled into a neonoir meditation on urban life. All 10 works found collectors, with total sales reaching 5.65 ETH.

• Mindzeye’s The Undoing: A photographic narrative of transformation told through four images shot in abandoned homes across Detroit. Centered on a solitary figure, the series follows a quiet arc of release and renewal. The edition of 10 dynamic tokens has fully sold out, with total sales of 10 ETH.

• David Lisser’s Mirror 404: Arriving September 17th, Mirror 404 are point cloud captures of mirrors in the natural world, taken over the past two years in Lisser’s trademark photogrammetry method. After being scanned, an error occurs when reconstructing the mirrors, resulting in them disappearing or creating a fragmented portal-like effect. This peculiarity in the field of photogrammetry is at the center of the series —that the computer cannot see its own reflection, unlike the other objects it sees; it cannot accurately interpret itself.

Future Frames: Transient Labs X HUG Open Call

We’ve partnered with The Hug for Future Frames, an open call giving four artists the chance to showcase their work on 50-inch 4K displays at the Sotheby’s Institute of Art in New York City on September 18. Submissions close September 15 — share your work with #TransientxHug to enter.

Featured Drops from The Lab:

• M0dest’s Mementos: An experiment in reimagining the relationship between artist and collector. Each Memento (ERC-1155 token) can be redeemed for new works, used to claim allowlists or physicals, burned for a personal commission, or exchanged back for ETH. 70% of mint proceeds go into a reclaimable vault, while 30% fuels the artist’s ongoing experiments, resulting in a fairer flow of value. 

• The Blondie Residency: Originally organized with MakersPlace and brought to completion on Transient after their closure, the residency was made possible through the patronage of Blondie. Over the course of the program, five visionary artists — Dylan Wade, Alyssa Stevens, Ruben Dario Ramirez, June Kim, and Douglxss — each presented a solo exhibition, closing with Douglxss’s final release. View all exhibitions here. 

• Douglxss’s Ruins, Relics, and Remembrance: Closing out the Blondie Artist Residency, this exhibition is a study in degraded memory and nostalgia. Symbols of Americana like flags, barns, and basketball hoops are reconstructed through code, glitch, and recollection, creating artifacts caught between collapse and sentiment. Six works have been collected, with one remaining available at 0.4 ETH; view it here.

• Postwook’s On/Off: A dynamic edition of 10 that shifts from day to night at 6 o’clock, created with Juno. The piece sold out, with proceeds funding Postwook’s next body of work.
