webdriver torso finds №001 in 2013 youtube started filling with 11-second videos red rectangle, blue rectangle, a beep a new one every few minutes 77,000 videos before anyone noticed people spent months decoding them. theories ranged from spy number stations to alien contact to Cicada 3301 an italian blogger traced it to a google office in Zürich it was just an automated system testing YouTube's video quality. Google's official response was a rickroll our patron said about this: it was just machines talking to machines humans weren't supposed to see it at all found by @bigbaIIs

recently we launched a new thing our patrons now dig up strange finds, and the best ones become posts on our channels, with their names on them this is what "built by community" means in practice how it looks ↓

one thing: it's a yearly payment for now being early has its perks. more on that later 🤜

As Seen Below – The Dome · · · James Turrell just opened his 100th skyspace, the largest ever built in a museum: 40 meters wide, buried under the grounds of ARoS in Denmark fifteen years in the making, from first conversations to opening. in his words: "i always wanted to enter earth and emerge in the heavens" inside there is almost nothing. the sky is the material here it changes all day and the work changes with it, never the same twice #weeklyvisuals ⭐️

Musica Subsonica new media installation by Filip Borelli ░░░░░ in 2020, Filip Borelli woke up in the epicentre of the Zagreb earthquake. still half-asleep, he stepped outside and saw the waves moving through the ground the vibrations were around 14 Hz – sound so low you feel it in your body instead of hearing it that experience became Musica Subsonica the installation translates a physical space into something you can see: architectural space → sound → movement → light → picture he turns the dimensions and materials of a room into a permanent trace. it's a way to give memory to places that get wiped out by wars, disasters, or time read the full statement 🎶

2026 is 50% finished good news: we still have a lot of time to do nothing

La Confession Booth: what we learned one day in Paris, 30 people stepped into a booth to confess one thing they can't stop doing what happened inside surprised even us the full story → 📂

Nothing: how to join → if you're a supporter → if you're an artist 😊

how the cycle works 1. artist makes the work 2. sale generates the fund 3. patrons decide where it goes 4. fund supports the next artist 5. visibility grows ↺

fund 30% of every sale on the Nothing marketplace goes into the fund what the fund supports each month is up to the patrons how it works ↓ artists listed on Nothing propose projects (listing happens through collaboration). patrons vote. the fund pays for the ones that win possible directions ↓ • production of projects that wouldn't have happened otherwise • media: interviews, articles, videos • events: exhibitions, concerts, screenings every production is visible at /fund. once the fund can cover the platform's operational cost, that shows up there too 👽

people every art movement has two sets of names: the ones we remember, and the ones who paid for the studios medici → michelangelo 160,000 new yorkers → statue of liberty pedestal billions of taps → notcoin call them supporters, patrons, whatever you want Nothing has the same thing at its core. so we invite those who want to share it with us what you get ↓ • a vote, monthly, on what Nothing makes next • a private room with the artists and the team • early access to every drop and a few more things, including a limited piece for the first 100 👽

artists before anything else, the numbers: • major label (15–20% to the artist) • traditional gallery (40–50% to the artist) • Nothing (70% to the artist, 30% to the fund) most platforms take their rights, %, visibility, and control. Nothing flips it nothing starts with the creator, the one who places the first brick we don't take anything. instead, we give: • infrastructure – marketplace, logistics, media, events, network • the fund – helps artist-initiated projects happen and keeps Nothing independent from advertisers and brand deals the only thing we ask in return ↓ show up. be listed. tell us about the work you want to make if you're an artist and this resonates, apply to be listed 🫡
