Transient Curated:

Introducing Transient Curated: a growing series of digital art releases built with Transient tech and created by remarkable artists.

Each exhibition is thoughtfully produced with custom pages, videos, and full access to Transient’s creative stack, including Multi-Creations and Juno. Every release is made to the artist’s vision and to present their work with the care it deserves.

• Paul Reid’s ‘Ariadne's Thread’: The first official release in Transient Curated, Ariadne’s Thread is a mythic reimagining from Scottish painter Paul Reid, known for portraying the Minotaur with empathy and depth. The opening piece, The Thread of Ariadne, sold for 3.169 ETH and was paired with a bidder’s edition, Melancholy. Three more works from the series will be released throughout the year, each adding to Reid’s poetic retelling of the creature’s path through the Labyrinth. View the exhibition page here. 

• Mindzeye’s ‘The Undoing’: The Undoing is a photographic narrative by Michael Sidofsky (Mindzeye), exploring transformation through four images shot among abandoned homes in Detroit. Centered on a solitary figure, the series follows a quiet, emotional arc of release and renewal. Collectors receive all four editioned works by minting the dynamic token for 1 ETH. Only 2 of 10 editions remain. Collect them here. 

• Killer Acid & Vodniks’ ‘No Bad Trippers’: Two years in the making, No Bad Trippers is a psychedelic pixel collaboration from Killer Acid and Vodnik; a collection of 3000 weird and wonderful characters pulled from the Killer Acid universe and brought to life in pixel form. The drop features 150 hidden one of ones, backgrounds by Sierra Siemer, and hundreds of chaotic traits. The collection sold out in 2 hours. View the exhibition page here.
