Art Drops from The Lab:

This month, we’re blown away by the incredible art projects crafted by talented creators in The Lab. Check it out!

The Garage by Hayden Clay

  • ‘The Garage’ by Hayden Clay is a unique, dynamic mint in which collectors unlock the mystery together. The mint starts with a closed garage door that opens after a set number of mints and then reveals more of its contents every two mints thereafter. Only 10 editions remain. Mint here. 

  • ‘Agape’ by OneLoveDAO is a sold-out limited edition of 14 tokens curated by Jeni Pepen. Each token features 20 unique artworks tied to a Valentine’s Day theme. Thanks to the Multi-Creations Contract, collectors can pin and display any of the 20 artworks anytime. 

  • ‘8-Bit Baseline’ by Ben Strauss and Rich Caldwell is a fully playable Pong game built from scratch. It features seven real-world tennis courts as backgrounds, dynamic physics, and code-generated retro sounds. Play the game here. 

  • ‘I Have Things to Explain to You’ by SU is an interactive, dynamic NFT powered by the Legacy Dynamic Art Engine, where collectors click into a shifting portal paired with sounds like heartbeats and breaking glass, prompting reflection on life’s truths versus shadows. Read more about this piece here & collect it here. 

  • ‘The Magic Forest’ by Dos Gatos offers generative tree NFTs via the Multi-Creations Contract, where each minted tree (50 so far, raising 1 ETH) adds a real-world tree photo and enters collectors into a cash prize pool—drawn live by parrot Moby every 100 trees. Learn more and contribute here.
